What is known about the Netherlands' plans for military aid
The Minister of Defence of the Netherlands, Kajsa Ollongren, said that her country plans to transfer 24 modern F-16 fighters to our country.
In total, we are going to transfer 24 F-16 fighters. They will be transferred to Ukraine as soon as everything is ready. This moment depends on the training of Ukrainian pilots and technical personnel, as well as, of course, on the infrastructure, Ollongren emphasised.
According to her, the transfer of these planes is a joint effort of the Netherlands, Ukraine, Denmark, the USA, and other countries. She added that this is a difficult task, but it will happen.
Our coalition hopes that already this summer we will be able to start deliveries of F-16 fighter jets, first to Denmark and then to the Netherlands, — assured the Dutch MOD.
