At the same time, the White House emphasized that by the end of the summer, the F-16s will be ready for flights in Ukraine.

“You need to talk to Ukrainians. I will not talk about military capabilities. I will only add that, as we said earlier and as we said at the NATO summit, the process of transferring F16s to Ukraine continues to move forward. We have noted that the aircraft will be ready to fly by the end of the summer. There is no reason to doubt that,” John Kirby emphasized.
Recall
