Former commander-in-chief of NATO forces: Ukraine needs to transfer combat aircraft

Former commander-in-chief of NATO forces: Ukraine needs to transfer combat aircraftThe West could supply combat aircraft to Ukraine, first of all - Soviet production, which are in service with a number of Eastern European countries and which could be used by the Ukrainian military. This was stated by the former Commander-in-Chief of the Joint Forces of NATO, retired Admiral of the US Navy James Stavridis.. The words of the retired admiral are quoted by the DPA agency.

Stavridis believes, that Ukraine first of all needs to transfer MiG-29 aircraft, which Poland has. Ukrainian pilots would be able to operate them without additional training. later, after the transfer of the MiG-29, Ukraine could also supply American F-16 aircraft. However, this requires, that Ukrainian pilots undergo retraining on American aircraft. I.e, according to Stavridis, it will take some time.

note, that representatives of the Kyiv regime, headed by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky himself, have repeatedly demanded from the West the supply of not only tanks and air defense equipment, but also combat aircraft. After all, the number of aircraft, available to the air forces of Ukraine, significantly reduced during a special military operation.

Earlier, a number of European countries agreed to start deliveries of infantry fighting vehicles and even tanks to Ukraine.. true, many military experts doubt, that the number of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, which will be transferred to Ukraine, will have some real impact on the situation on the battlefield. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine General Valery Zaluzhny, recall, spoke about the need for Ukraine in several hundred tanks for only one direction, and the West is still transferring only dozens of armored vehicles.
