The British authorities consider it inappropriate to supply the Ukrainian army with fighter jets.
According to the Evening Standard, Prime Minister Rishi Sunaka's spokesman stressed, that the Typhoon and F-35 fighters in service with the British Army are very difficult to operate. It will take months to learn how to operate these types of machines.. Based on this, British authorities believe, that the transfer of such aircraft to the Ukrainian Air Force is inappropriate.
The representative of the head of the British government also added, that London will continue to provide military support to Ukraine, as well as to accelerate the support of Kyiv by other countries. British authorities, but, plan to continue discussions with their allies on the transfer of less advanced fighters to Ukraine.
The representative of the British Prime Minister also recalled, that his country plans to transfer Challenger tanks to Kyiv in the near future, which will soon be sent to Ukraine.
earlier it was reported, that some representatives of the US authorities are in favor of transferring American F-16 fighters to Ukraine, however, President Joe Biden answered negatively to a question from journalists about the possibility of supplying such weapons to Kyiv.
Deputy head of the Polish Ministry of Defense Wojciech Skurkiewicz also said, that Warsaw is not currently considering the transfer of F-16 fighters to Ukraine. Author:Maxim Svetlyshev Photos used:Wikipedia/Ronnie Macdonald
