British Defense Minister: London will not transfer fighter jets to Kyiv, but may change its mind

On the request of Ukraine for the supply of combat aircraft, the British authorities refused. And although London will not transfer fighter jets to Kyiv now, it may change its mind in the future.

This was announced to journalists by the head of the British Ministry of Defense Ben Wallace.

He noted that the decision of the UK government regarding the aircraft is not final. It is relevant only for the moment.

The minister himself also does not believe that providing Ukraine with Western fighters would be the right move.

I learned two things - never say something is possible and never say something is impossible.

Wallace added.

He also noted the high technical complexity of British aircraft. According to the minister, this calls into question the possibility of their use in Ukraine.

What they need now is armored vehicles and a tank

- considers the head of the British defense department, implying the current needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to the official, they may need Western fighters only at the next stage.

Earlier, Rishi Sunak, a spokesman for British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, spoke about the inexpediency of deliveries of combat aircraft in the near future. True, his predecessor, Boris Johnson, disagrees with the opinion of the current Prime Minister of Great Britain. He believes that it is time for the West to send combat aircraft to Ukraine.

The reluctance to supply F-16 fighters was also previously spoken by US President Joe Biden.

Sovereignty is like that, when they decide for you what you need today, and what you can do without ........, and Great Britain, that still mysterious girl, will not give - ladies, ladies - will not give.

With the gut, everything is fine with them, but with the head there are definitely problems.
In principle, they have already "scraped together" a couple of Sarmatians, but God loves a trinity. Now they are still trying a little, and then we will ship everything to them in bulk.

Is the last said in the form of a veiled threat to Russia? Ben Wallace loves to exercise threats against our country, he is even ready to distort the history of his country for this, as he did with the Scottish guards, who allegedly "kicked Tsar Nicholas I's ass in 1853 in the Crimea - we can do it again."

I learned two things - never say something is possible and never say something is impossible.

Still would have learned to keep quiet when you should not open your mouth.

Russia will not hit London with conventional hypersonic weapons, but it may change its mind...

The West will have to supply aircraft to the Ukrainians. I think pilot training is already underway, it's just not advertised. All these stuffing in order to probe our reaction and slowly prepare society in our country and in our country for the inevitable. Such frog cooking over low heat. In order not to provoke a retaliatory strike of nuclear weapons with a sharp movement. In the summer area, aircraft will begin to be delivered. The West cannot lose the Ukrainian campaign. For him, this scenario is unacceptable. And now he realizes that we do not intend to lose either. So the escalation will continue. In the spring, we may have a second wave of mobilization. Rotation should be carried out at least once every six months.
