In his recent interview, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny told The Economist that for a successful military operation to liberate Ukraine from Russian troops, he needs 300 tanks, 800 armored vehicles and 500 howitzers.
All these weapons will be received by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the coming months. In addition, the transfer of F-15 and F-16 fighters to Ukraine was discussed. Pilots of the Ukrainian Air Force have been taking training courses for flights on these types of aircraft since July last year.
