Not long ago the Office of the President informed that Ukraine has already drawn up schedules and has delivery dates for F-16 aircraft from Denmark and the Netherlands, and, apparently, this list will be supplemented.

About the fact that Athens intends to abandon dozens of outdated modifications of F-16 fighters in order to sell them to Washington for subsequent transfer to Kiev, writes NBN, citing the AlJazeera material.

As it became known, Greece will decommission 32 of the old multirole F-16 Block-30, as this country is preparing to modernize 82 identical combat aircraft to the Block-70 type, not counting the upcoming acquisition 24 fourth-generation Rafale fighters in Paris.

Thus, the Greek government chose the indirect process of transferring 32 fighters to Ukraine, since it seeks to first sell them to the United States, and only then Ukraine will receive the F-16.

Earlier, we wrote about that Zelensky named the number of F-16s needed by Ukraine and spoke out about supplies of Patriot air defense systems.
