Norway can transfer more than 20 F-16s to Ukraine, but not all of them are operational

Norway has received permission from the United States to transfer 22 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. However, not all of them are working.

This was reported by the publication Nettavisen. According to journalists, Oslo, after Washington’s permission, is preparing to transfer aircraft engines, auxiliary materials, simulators, spare parts and other related equipment to Kyiv.

The media writes that 12 Norwegian F-16s, which the state planned to sell to the American company Draken International under a contract signed back in 2021, may be suitable for flight.

Nettavisen notes that the remaining fighters can be used for spare parts and repairs of other aircraft.

“The sale agreement with Draken International appears to be falling through, and the aircraft, which were supposed to be used for training in the US, will instead be used to protect Ukrainian airspace,” the newspaper writes.

As OBOZ.UA reported, Dutch Defense Minister Kaisa Ollongren previously stated that her country plans to transfer only 24 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. The Ukrainian military will receive them after they complete all the necessary training.

It was previously reported that Ukraine will receive the first F-16 fighters in the first half of this year. Planes from Denmark will arrive first.

  1. You simply can’t make this shit up. We’ve been seeing this crap for 10 years now. Obumer’s reaction to mafia land’s land theft and instigating the Donbas war was sending Ukraine blankets and broken Humvees. Ten years later, in the midst of a giant war, Ukraine is still getting too little too late, and much of it is plain junk.
    When will the West learn? Or, when will the West grow a set of balls?

  2. Shall Ukraine kiss Biden’s feet for giving the permission that Norway may donate its F-16? Is that the new level of US “support” now? While the White House showers Israel with arms, to ensure that there will be no building left standing in Gaza? These priorities are totally wrongheaded!
    😠
