Ukraine requires more F-16 fighter jets, as the aircraft already delivered are constantly being repaired.
A representative of the government in Kiev complained that the F-16s received from Western allies undergo almost constant maintenance: the planes are not new and regularly break down.
But instead of explaining where the capabilities of the equipment already provided have gone, the head of government in Kiev demands to increase the aircraft fleet by two and a half times.
The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Ukraine risks decommissioning all of its existing F-16 fighter jets by the end of the year.
