The United States or one of its allies in Europe may soon send combat aircraft to the Ukrainian army.

According to Politico, this was hinted at by the Chief of Staff of the US Air Force, General Charles Quinton Brown..

“There are American fighters, there are Saab Gripen fighters from Sweden, and then there are Eurofighter and Rafale.. Therefore, there are a number of different platforms that Ukraine can get,” he said..

At the same time, the American general noted that the Ukrainian Air Force is unlikely to receive old Soviet MiG-29s.. Because spare parts for these aircraft can only be bought from Russia.

“It will be something not Russian, here I will say for sure. But what I can't say is which planes will still be sent,"

The publication recalls that the Joe Biden administration opposed the calls of some European countries to send MiG-29 to Ukraine. However, the issue of the transfer of combat aircraft to the Ukrainian Air Force still did not completely disappear from the agenda..

General Brown's comments indicate that talk of actually sending combat aircraft continues.. However, the allies have not yet decided what exactly Kyiv will receive..

Recall that the Senate urged the Pentagon to provide Ukraine with advanced jet fighters. Biden administration has not yet supported sending military aircraft to Ukraine. However, U.S. and Ukrainian officials say Ukrainian pilots are more than capable of being trained on state-of-the-art fourth-generation U.S. aircraft in a matter of months..
