“Apart From Nuclear Weapons…” After Tanks, Now Ukraine Wants West’s Fighter Jets To Battle Russia

Ukraine, having recently obtained battle tanks from the West, is now seeking to acquire fourth-generation fighter jets such as the American F-16. Ukrainian officials have been advocating for these jets since last year, as they currently rely on a fleet of outdated Soviet-era fighters to confront Russia. In March, the Ukrainian air force publicly called for NATO countries to provide them with F-15 and F-16 jets. Despite the West’s concerns about violating Russia’s “red lines,“ Ukraine remains optimistic that their allies will ultimately agree to their request. #RussiaUkraineWar #F16fighter #USmilitaryaid #WorldNews 0:00 - INTRODUCTION 1:05 - UKRAINE’S BID TO GET FIGHTER JETS 2:09 - F-16 FIGHTER JET 2:54 - WILL WEST SEND FIGHTER JETS TO KYIV? n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
