Military expert Oleg Zhdanov believes that Ukraine will be able to obtain modern combat aircraft before a counteroffensive.
It could probably happen closer to the summer.
He said this in a comment to Channel 24.
Zhdanov are convinced that our Western allies will still support the transfer of modern Western aircraft to Ukraine, and this will happen on the eve of a large-scale counteroffensive of the Armed Forces.
"The planes will be sent before the counteroffensive. If it is delayed a little now, then the transfer of aviation will also be delayed," Zhdanov believes.
It will be recalled that Shmyhal held a meeting with the head of the Pentagon and called for Ukraine to receive F-16 fighter jets.
Earlier, Mykhailo Podolyak stated that there is an extremely high probability
that the state will hear about the West's decision to hand over F-16 fighter jets by the summer
.
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksiy Reznikov, believes that the partners have not yet delivered F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, as these systems are very complex and require maintenance and large financial costs.
