Ukraine may receive more than 40 Australian FA-18 fighters
The United States, Australia, and Ukraine are discussing the possibility of transferring 41 F/A-18 aircraft of the Royal Australian Air Force to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which are to be decommissioned, Australian Financial Review reports.
[emoji838] 41 aircraft have been decommissioned from the Royal Air Force and will be replaced with modern F-35s. Earlier it was assumed that the fighters will be scrapped or sold to a private aviation company, RAVN Aerospace, for use in the United States as "enemies" for the training of pilots.
[emoji838] Another source close to the negotiations agreed that there was no point in destroying the perfectly serviceable aircraft, which, he said, could be brought to combat readiness within four months and used to repel the Russian invasion.
[emoji838] The F/A-18 is a U.S. carrier-based fighter-bomber developed in the 1970s. It is in service in a number of countries in Europe, Oceania, and the Middle East. In the U.S., the aircraft has remained in service only in the Marine Corps, as well as training and experimental squadrons.
