"There is no money for the F-15X and F-16": Kiev has confirmed the lack of funds for the purchase of new fighters

The purchase of modern foreign 4+ generation fighters to update the existing fleet of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces is impossible due to lack of funds. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian military department stated the lack of funds for the planned modernization of the country's air force for 2021-2035. Despite the significant obsolescence of the existing fleet of Su-27, Mig-29, Su-25 and Su-24, the purchase of new aircraft is not included in the defense order, even in the long term.



Due to lack of funds, the purchase of aircraft such as the F-15EX, Saab JAS 39 Gripen or F-16 Block 70/72 is not included in the draft defense order plans even in the long term.

- declared in the Ministry of Defense.

The military department explained that the program for the modernization of the country's air force is estimated at 320 billion hryvnia (in 2020 prices) and goes beyond the funding of the Ministry of Defense, the implementation of the program is impossible given the modern economic opportunities of Ukraine.

Recall that according to the calculations of the Ukrainian media, the number of MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters in service with the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will begin to decline significantly by 2025 with the final decommissioning of the last Soviet-assembled aircraft by 2030.

As part of the renewal of the fleet of fighters, it was proposed to adopt a "modern" fighter. Several options are being considered as the main candidate, but the Swedish Saab JAS-39E / F Gripen and the American F-16 Block 70/72 were called more preferable for the country's Air Force. In total, it was planned to purchase from 72 to 108 fighters.

          In general, for this phrase, I would have included Matroskin in the list of the greatest economists on the planet. Like Shapoklyak as the greatest philosopher for the thesis "He who helps people is wasting his time. Good deeds cannot be glorified," and Crocodile Gena as a theoretician of revolutions for the paradigm "They have nowhere to play. So they climb where they don't need to." ..
          Imagine - a giant banner, and on it - in profile Matroskin, Shapoklyak and Gena .. However - Soviet cartoons are generally some kind of inexhaustible storehouse of folk wisdom ...

            So they now, without any planes, spin them like a fan in different modes laughing
            Most likely, the mattresses will encourage the "Youngonatists" to get rid of the legacy of the Warsaw Pact and sell Soviet planes to Ukraine for a symbolic price, and use the proceeds to buy American planes and thereby get closer to NATO standards. For the Youngonat people, this is just a theme from the series about Matroskin, which is presented above - "in order to buy what you need, you must first sell the unnecessary."

        Let them buy quadcopters, that's what they need.

        So, once the USSR raised the former Soviet republic from the ruins of the Great Patriotic War, sent there colossal funds, equipment, specialists, rebuilt almost all enterprises from scratch and built new ones, developed agriculture, created science and so on, so on, so on.

        The republic developed and prospered until the nationalists and the unfinished Bandera rabble raised their heads. Then came the 90s of the last century. "Perestroika" began, which ended with the collapse of the USSR, the acquisition of "independence" and the delusional dream of becoming a second Switzerland.

        And now, after the lapse of 30 years, from the moment of gaining that very "independence", what results have Ukraine come to? Until that Switzerland, which dreamed so much of how to fly to the sun for an infinitely long time, because Ukraine as a country now presents a miserable sight, with a ruined economy, education and culture, with mass poverty and the dream of millions to dump from there somewhere far away, because in Ukraine nowadays capitalism with all its "charms".

        And against this background of general "prosperity" in Ukraine, they dream of replenishing their weapons with expensive items for 10 billion US dollars, at a time when the country is in debt like silk and there is no money even for coronavirus vaccines to treat its citizens.

        f-16 block 70/72 is not a cheap car, which is expensive to buy even for Israel and not poor India.
        about the same with flu, although they are cheaper.
        In addition, there is no point in these machines, if you do not use the latest US suspended weapons, for which there are definitely no permits for sale to Ukraine and are not expected. Ie all this listing of aircraft models is complete bullshit and PR.
        If Ukraine really wanted to update their fleet, they would think about completely different cars - decommissioned in Germany, all kinds of alpha-jets, Pakistani cars and others with a humane price tag.
        Yes, even in Japan, they could buy phantoms. Or they could remember about China and Indian Tejas and poke up in South America. In Iran, they could buy American planes and upgrade them.
        but instead loud statements about the latest machines and nothing else.

      If you do not laugh at the desire in the absence of opportunities, then either the Chinese remain, or gray barter in exchange for turbines for the Gorshkovs. In return, take the MiG-29 and Su-27 from the presence (in order to clearly burn and continue broadcasting about the sanctions), with more or less updated avionics.

This is a huge number of aircraft, the local defense minister himself, recently reported Zelensky that the Su-24 can be used to launch cruise missiles. Even one or two squadrons of the Su-24, this is great strength and power. They are constantly modernizing the MiG-29 and, there are a lot of aircraft, you can also create something combat-ready.
