The Netherlands will start delivering F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine this fall. This will happen after Denmark.
This was stated by Dutch Defense Minister Keesa Ollongren, RBC-Ukraine reports citing Delfi.
"We have everything planned for the project, which consists of training Ukrainian pilots, training maintenance personnel, and transferring real aircraft," she said.
According to the Defense Minister, Ukrainian soldiers are currently undergoing training in Denmark, the United States, and other countries. Denmark will have to supply the first aircraft to Ukraine this summer if nothing prevents it.
"And we hope to participate in the deliveries in the fall with our F-16s. So after the summer and beyond, they will be sent to Ukraine in batches," said Kajsa Ollongren.-
"If nothing prevents it" is a very convenient phrase. Because anything can get in the way.
