According to him, this step may indicate the readiness of international partners to transfer combat aviation to Ukraine.
“A bill was adopted by the US government to allocate $100 million for the training of military pilots in 2023. If the US government allocates funds for the training of Ukrainian pilots on American aircraft, then this indicates the seriousness of the US intentions and that maybe we will receive aviation equipment.”
Ihnat noted that the number of aircraft to be transferred is not being made public.
“Continuous negotiations are underway, so far we do not have a final decision,” he said.
The plans of the United States to allocate $ 100 million for the training of Ukrainian pilots became known in mid-July.
Recently, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov stated that our country can prepare its airfields for modern military aircraft.
