Dutch American-made F-35 fighters flew to Poland to patrol the airspace as part of the NATO EnhancedAirPolicing mission. This was announced by the head of the Polish Ministry of Defense Mariusz Blaszczak..
As Blaschak stated, Dutch F-35 fighters arrived at the 22nd Tactical Aviation Base, located in the Polish city of Malbork, in order to provide support in the protection of the sky to the armed forces of the country. Why the Polish Air Force themselves cannot protect the country's sky, Polish leadership, of course, does not explain.
The Polish Minister of Defense also reminded, that his country purchased a batch of modern F-35 fighter jets from the United States and is currently awaiting their delivery. Warsaw is counting, that new generation fighters will significantly increase the combat potential of the country's air force.
earlier it was reported, that the Dutch authorities will consider the possibility of supplying the Ukrainian army with American F-16 fighters. The head of the Dutch Foreign Ministry during the debate in Parliament said, what, if a corresponding request is received from the Ukrainian government, Dutch authorities will consider the possibility of delivering F-16 fighter jets to the Ukrainian army.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, unlike the government of the Netherlands, completely ruled out the possibility of supplying the Kyiv regime with fighter jets in service with the Bundeswehr. According to him, fighter aircraft are much more complex systems, than tanks, supplies of which Ukraine has already been approved by the German government.
but, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz previously also rejected any possibility of supplying tanks to Ukraine, but after pressure from NATO allies, completely changed his mind. Author:Maxim Svetlyshev Photos used:Wikipedia/Department of Defense – https://magazines.defensie.nl
