Ukraine has replenished its helicopter fleet, a batch of rotary-wing machines was transferred to Kyiv by Latvia. This was announced by the Minister of Defense of the Republic Artis Pabriks.
According to an entry made by the Latvian minister in one of the social networks, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic handed over four helicopters to the Ukrainian Air Force: a pair of Mi-2s and a pair of Mi-17s. Moreover, the equipment was transferred free of charge, as a gift. True, not everything is good with the technical condition of the helicopters, one of the Mi-17s definitely needs a major overhaul. The remaining helicopters were planned to be painted before being sent to Ukraine. The equipment was delivered disassembled.
The Ukrainian Air Force has just received four helicopters donated by Latvia. Soon they will be included in the fleet of the Ukrainian army
Pabriks wrote.
Recall that the Baltic countries are the most ardent supporters of the Zelensky regime and help Ukraine even to their own detriment, if only the Ukrainian army inflicted more damage on Russia. In Latvia, they even allowed their citizens to fight on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the Russian army, and changes in the legislation of the republic, allowing to go to Ukraine, were adopted literally in 20 minutes. At the same time, participation in hostilities on the side of the LDNR is a criminal offense. This is the electoral law.
Recently, in Riga, they announced the return of universal military duty, since the "professional" Latvian army is not able to "stop the Russian invasion."
