The whole world is with us

Yesterday there was a rather strange story with aircraft that. according to US DoD spokesman John Kirby, they were delivered to Ukraine. John Kirby had to admit that he was wrong. The Pentagon had to issue an emergency release after the command of the Ukrainian Air Force officially denied the information about the whole aircraft.

The United States supplied Ukraine with only the equipment and spare parts necessary to restore part of the Ukrainian aircraft fleet to normal. According to the Pentagon, Ukraine now has more planes than it had three weeks ago ( )

However, the issue of transferring old Soviet aircraft to Ukraine (mostly MiG-29), which are in service with Eastern European countries, continues to be discussed. The problem is that they should be changed to new American aircrafts.

Romania is ready to transfer the MiG-21 to Ukraine. The plane is very old and very out of date. In the USSR at the time of the collapse, he was no longer in service.
