The Armed Forces of Ukraine need aviation for a successful counteroffensive. The US will be a key country in resolving this issue, but another state can take the first step.
In general, the provision of aviation to our state can take place according to the “tank scheme”. This opinion Channel 24 was voiced by the diplomat and Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States in 2015-2019 Valery Chaly.
Who will take the first step to provide the Armed Forces of Ukraine Aviation
Poland has already “promoted” such a beginning, but now it has chosen a different path – it wants to pull up countries that have doubts. It is important that today there is already a political decision that Ukraine must receive all the necessary weapons to counter Russia.
There is already a political decision, but we are interested in time. In this sense, the position of the United States is very important,” the diplomat noted.
Thus, the production of American F-16 fighters is massive and has repair bases. By the way, the implementation of the repair and maintenance of equipment will be discussed at Ramstein-9, which will take place today – February 14.

“The American mass production of aircraft that are now in service with our neighbors is the best option. And without the permission of the United States, these aircraft cannot be transferred. So, in fact, the United States is a key country in resolving this issue. Although the British may be the first to take a step,” Chaly stressed.
Zelensky thanked Britain in advance for the planes
President Volodymyr Zelensky paid a visit to the UK on February 8. After the speech, he thanked in advance for the aviation that Ukraine will receive. Military expert Roman Svitan also believes that the British may be the first to announce the transfer of aircraft.
“There are 2 positions that they can transfer to us without big losses for themselves. This is an Apache helicopter to cover the Challenger 2 tanks. They they work well in pairs. Also Typhoon fighters. It's just that there are not very many of them. The UK has a little over a hundred of them. However, they could transfer 12 aircraft to us,” Swithan said.
