The United States has agreed to arm dozens of F-16 fighter jets being sent to Ukraine with American missiles and other advanced weapons.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the United States plans to arm the aircraft with AGM-88 HARM air-to-ground missiles and precision bomb guidance kits.
It is noted that this summer Denmark and the Netherlands will send the first F-16s produced in the United States. Then Belgium and Norway will take over supplies.
Nevertheless, Washington will limit Ukraine's use of American-provided weapons to strike Russian territory. It can only be used “in response to attacks from that side of the border.”
