United States President Joe Biden said his country cannot send F-16 aircraft to Ukraine because they are needed at home.

" This is a completely different situation,” he told reporters, answering the question of why he opposes sending the F-16.

Recall that on January 30, Joe Biden negatively answered the question about the possibility of transferring F-16 fighter jets from the United States to Ukraine, commenting on Ukraine's wishes to receive these aircraft..

Recall that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba said that it is the F-16 aircraft that are a priority, but Ukraine does not write off the Swedish Gripen fighters and the French Mirage and Rafale either..

In turn, the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States, Oksana Markarova, noted that the issue of providing our country with F-16 fighters would probably be resolved, but over time.

Earlier, Speaker of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat said that to protect the sky, Ukraine needs about 200 fighters - up to five brigades, each of which will have three squadrons.. American F-16 aircraft remain a priority, because they have a wide range of weapons - they can be both ground targets and aerodynamic.
