Ukraine hopes to receive 128 fighter jets from West

Ukraine’s Air Force needs to receive 128 Western fighter jets as part of its rearming strategy, Ukrainian Air Force Spokesman Yury Ignat said on Monday.

"The Air Force concept, which envisaged rearming, called for a figure of 128 fighter jets, enough to replace the old fleet. This is approximately four air brigades," he said in an interview with the Ukrainian arm of Radio Liberty (recognized as a foreign agent mass media in Russia).

He noted that these aircraft should be deployed at various airfields across the country to ensure quick response to threats.
