Giving Ukraine fighter jets is “out of the question” and could lead to direct UK involvement in the Russian-Ukraine conflict, a defence expert has warned 🔺 mollyblackall reports:
But both UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and US President, Joe Biden, have today ruled out sending jets.believes it is “not practical” to provide Ukraine with British fighter jets.
He said they must seize an “opportunity to accelerate UK support” to give Ukraine “the best chance of success and make the most of the window of opportunity where Russian forces were on the back foot”. “Logistics and training aside, it would be politically impossible for Nato to send those fighter jets to Ukraine without getting involved directly,” she told“You have to have a lot of trust to give Ukraine fighter jets because if they strike Russia, it’s going to be hell. It will escalate immediately. So giving them fighter jets and long-range missiles is probably out of the question.”
She added: “I don’t think the West will go this far, because the idea was to give Ukraine this defensive capability to stop the Russians. Fighter jets go beyond this.”
