Ukraine asked partners F-18/US Army On Wednesday, December 6, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense presented at a closed session in Washington list of weapons to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among the requests were F-18 fighters. People's Deputy, Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security Roman Kostenko on air24 Channelssuggested how partners would react to a request to provide aircraft. The Ukrainian government also requested other weapons: Kostenko explained that it is extremely difficult to obtain approval from partners for the supply of weapons that are more powerful than infantry fighting vehicles. Representatives of the Ministry of Defense literally “gnawed out” equipment that was already in service with Ukrainian soldiers. The negotiation process is complex and requires a lot of time and explanation. Fourth generation carrier-based fighter-bomber. Today it is the main combat aircraft of the US Navy, and its modernized version is exported, in particular, as an airfield aircraft. Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, during a recent visit to the United States, thanked American partners for military support . His primary task is to prove to our allies that Ukraine really needs this or that weapon. Of course these are necessary things (F-18 – Channel 24). However, you should also pay attention to long-range missiles. There are priority things. I don’t think that any transport aircraft are a priority right now. Helicopters, long-range weapons, air defense systems – this is really what will provide an opportunity in a future positional war, if we manage to wrest positions. This will cover our troops and make us more powerful,” Roman Kostenko emphasized.
