Ukraine is calling for modern American fighter jets to face Russia’s overwhelming air advantage in the congested skies over the war-torn country. Still, senior Air Force officials say American F-16s, which require lengthy training, are not yet part of the aid picture.
More than 40 nations gathered at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, on April 26 to consider what type of weapons to supply, including air power assistance such as F-16s, to Ukraine. The war is now shifting to the eastern front in the Donbas region, an area where long-range weapons are desperately needed.
Recently, however, the Ukrainian Air Force has expanded its request beyond Soviet-era jets they already know how to fly, such as MiG-29s and Su-24s. Ukraine is asking for modern American jets, including F-15s, F-16s, and “maybe” F-18s, to shift the air advantage to their side, according to a video posted on the Ukrainian Air Force Twitter page April 26, the day of the Ramstein meeting.
Senior defense officials, including U.S. Air Forces in Europe commander, spoke about the possibility of supplying American-made F-16s to Ukraine.
“That doesn’t happen fast,” Harrigian told Air Force Magazine during a pull-aside interview at the Ramstein Officer’s Club where the meeting was taking place.
