Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that Ukrainian forces “right now have available to them more fixed-wing fighter aircraft than they did two weeks ago”.
“Without getting into what other nations are providing, they (Ukrainian forces) have received additional platforms and parts to be able to increase their fleet size,” Kirby said.
“Other nations who have experience with those kinds of aircraft have been able to help them get more aircraft up and running,” Kirby added.
