Speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: 200 fighters will be required to ensure the security of Ukraine's airspace

Speaking on the air of the French TV channel La Chaîne Info, the speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, made a statement that to ensure the airspace of Ukraine, it will need 200 fighters. As the military official clarified, the country needs to create 5 tactical brigades aviation, which will be armed with one type of Western-style multifunctional aircraft.

Discussions are currently underway as to what type it will be. The F-16 fighter is rightfully considered the most likely option for a military aircraft that will replace obsolete Soviet aircraft.

Ignat said.

At the same time, as he noted, Ukraine needs to protect its airspace both in wartime and in peacetime, since it is one of the largest countries on the European continent. According to him, the aviation grouping of Russia and Belarus is 5 or even 6 times superior to Ukrainian aviation, and, as he admitted, Ukraine is also inferior to them in terms of technology.



As the speaker of the Air Force added, it will obviously not be possible to get everything at once, because for this there is still a lot of work to be done, which consists in preparing all the necessary airfield infrastructure, flight crews, aviation engineers, which will allow the process of rearmament to be gradually carried out with new types of equipment.

Yuriy Ignat also touched upon the current state of affairs in the Air Force of Ukraine: according to the data provided by him, they now have 11 brigades, of which 1 is training, 3 are transport, 1 is assault, 1 is bomber, and 5 more are fighter. The last aircraft that entered service with the country was the Su-27. At the same time, Ignat did not specify how many aviation units these brigades of the Ukrainian Air Force have left today, if it is literally begging for NATO fighters.

Recall that, contrary to all the ambitions of the Kyiv regime, US President Joe Biden previously stated that Washington would not send American-made F-16 fighter jets to Kyiv.

      It's just some kind of mental confusion when you listen and read people like Ignat and others like him.
      I don’t understand how the Anglo-Saxons subjugated them, but they completely altered their brains.

        They must have been sprayed with something from the planes.

        I went to visit relatives and on excursions from school to Ukraine until the mid-80s.
        Maybe I didn’t look there, but I didn’t see such a mass and total insanity as it is now.

        I saw the Colorado beetle and budylya instead of potato tops when we on the Volga did not yet know who it was, I saw it. I saw five pears in a bucket. Sandwiches with bacon in the cafeteria at the station was surprised (we only had cheese and sausage then). I saw my aunt kneading a bucket of dough so that there would be enough for the neighbors. In Dnepropetrovsk, in a museum, I saw a royal ruble the size of a hockey puck.

        But I didn’t see the terry Bandera.
        Maybe they pollinated from a beetle, and, by mistake, they pollinated something wrong?

        ..... there are 11 brigades, of which 1 is training, 3 are transport, 1 is assault, 1 is bomber, and another 5 are fighter.

        I understand that there is only one command left of these brigades, which should also be destroyed.

    No, there are still letaki on the outskirts, maybe from what is left of their own, something from the fitting of co-workers, but the number of brigades was impressive, about the same as the composition of the outskirts navy.

    According to Konashenkov’s intelligence, Ukraine had no planes left in April 2022, and then bang 11 brigades, moreover, from the Soviet park (((remove one star from it. Even now he mentions “two pickups” in every peppy report, although someone will check. I believe reports only from Prigozhin.

      Weren't you surprised by the number of admirals in the Ukrainian Navy? There, a connection of a pair of boats was controlled by a rear admiral (I exaggerate of course). I suppose such a picture is also with airplanes, on paper an air armada, in reality everything is much worse ...

        According to the Decree of the President of Ukraine, the Naval Forces of Ukraine had 12 admirals and generals with a negligible number of pennants of floating craft. In principle, even in peacetime after the Crimean spring, the number of warships, boats and auxiliary vessels of the Ukrainian Navy was hardly enough for a division of heterogeneous forces (the standard category is "cap. 2nd rank"). The remnants of the Naval Aviation of the Naval Forces of Ukraine went to the bottom of the Black Sea together with her chief Berzai (a really good pilot) during the events near Snake Island. The coastal component of the Ukrainian Navy is represented on paper by two marine brigades (the 35th and 36th) and the 402nd coastal artillery brigade, the remnants of which have degenerated into conventional infantry. True, the 35th brmp of the Ukrainian Navy was partially killed in Mariupol, partially captured. The flagship of the Naval Forces of Ukraine "Sagaydachny" is generally flooded in the port by the crew. So the future of the Ukrainian Navy, as well as the front-line forces (Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine), is very bright.

    Does the outskirts have time for this work? Preparing all of the above will take a lot of time. Especially the training of a combat pilot, this is not the “Ghost of Kyiv” to come up with.

        Lined up, then they lined up ... but there were no tanks, and no.
        By the way, many have long accepted the idea that giving different things, c. including tanks they will be ... the question is when, how much and how it will happen.
        With aircraft, everything is somewhat more complicated than with tanks ... you can’t hide them under a bush, and the support infrastructure is not a halyam balaam. It is necessary to prepare in advance, but nothing has been noticed in any way ... so far, at least.

    As for the runway, they may well prepare dozens of sections of highways for the use of fighter units. But still, it will be necessary to service the aircraft somewhere. Perhaps several sorties and they will drive to the west (to Romania, Poland), serve (if they survive).

    I'm afraid to upset Mr. Ignat, but the hat is not to my liking. Even France has less than 200 fighters.
    I don’t even want to be interested in how many really combat-ready fighters are there, otherwise it will inadvertently come out like with a Tornado in Germany :)

    The 11 Ukrainian air brigades of the 2nd squadron mentioned by the speaker in peacetime, as a rule, did not exceed the standard Soviet air regiment in terms of the number of aircraft. The technical condition even in peacetime is a separate song: remember the "heroic" march "on foot in flight" in 2014 204 air brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Belbek with the yell "America is with us", and so they had as many as 45 out of 4 aircraft in service. General Kanashenkov is basically right in his data on the losses of the fleet of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, because both in the air defense and in the Air Force there are means of objective control, although the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are 1,5-2 times higher than the initial number of aircraft. But this can be explained simply: during the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine seized thousands of aircraft and helicopters (Air Force of the 3rd Military District, units of DA, MA and VTA, Air Force universities and training centers, etc.), some of them were disposed of, some were sold, and what it remained in storage, there were several military aircraft factories, civil aircraft workshops, the Antonov concern and, most importantly, Motor-SICH (production of aircraft engines). So even by elementary cannibalism, it is not such a problem to assemble one from two sides. Again, many Migs, Su, Ilov, Mi, etc. have scattered around the world, and replenishment from abroad is not excluded. But that the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been largely reset to zero, this is a fact: during this year, does anyone remember cases of massive use of Ukrainian aviation, I personally remember that more than 2 aircraft were disposed of near Snake Island in 10 days, and that’s it. As a rule, flights are carried out single, very rarely in pairs, very often the first flight is also the last. But the main thing is not even planes and helicopters, but the flight crew: if the side is hit, up to half of the pilots die (if the side is hit by the S-300, S-400 and Buk, there is little chance of surviving, when hit by MANPADS or air-to-air missiles - a little more). And the quality of training ukroasov with a chronic shortage of fuel for the entire time of independence has only degraded. Remember the catastrophe on July 27, 2002 near Lvov (the so-called Sknilov tragedy), when the ukroas Colonels Toponar and Egorov, demonstrating aerobatics at an air show, dropped the Su-27UB directly into the crowd of spectators, instantly killing 77 people, including 28 children, and injuring 543 people, but they themselves were not injured. Last year, another ukroas decided to ride an American pilot and killed both himself and him. So with such a quality of human material, no F-16s will help, it remains only to invent legends about the "Kiev ghost", allegedly shooting down 6 Russian aircraft in one sortie.
