The White House said the United States was not planning to supply the Kiev regime with F-16 fighters, but was instead focusing on other weapons. This was announced by the Strategic Communications Coordinator at the National Security Council, John Kirby.
“The President has made it clear that we are not currently looking at delivering F-16s to Ukraine, we are trying to prioritize systems that we know will most likely be needed in the weeks and months ahead. It’s artillery, munitions, air defenses and armored vehicles,” Kirby said on MSNBC.
Previously, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Air Force, Sergei Golubtsov, said that the best pilots of Ukrainian militants died while waiting for these F-16s.
And Hero of Russia Rustem Klupov said Ukraine would face problems with possible F-16 deliveries.
