According to him, the Su-35 is the main competitor of the Ukrainian Air Force in the air.
“The aircraft that we want to receive from our partners should not be inferior to it in terms of tactical and technical characteristics and armament,” RIA Novosti quotes Ignat.
Recall that previously the Netherlands and Denmark were the first to agree on the transfer of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. Subsequently, the United States confirmed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will receive fighter jets from third countries, but only when their pilots receive the necessary training.
The Pentagon also said Ukraine does not yet have the infrastructure necessary to host the F-16.
At the same time, many experts argue that the supply of fighter jets to kyiv will not change the course of the military conflict.
