The United States and its allies consider the possibility of providing pilot fighters and training for Ukraine, in order to help Kiev increase the capacity to protect the airspace.

The White House last week announced that the Pentagon was seeking to offer fighters to Ukraine, after a statement of the US Air Force that they were considering training Ukrainian pilots to protect airspace by Western fighter.

In the early stages of conflict, Ukraine was provided with shoulder -to -shoulder anti -aircraft missiles, which was considered a safe choice for the West, Czech Republic of Jan Lipavsky.

Analysts believe that Ukraine's resilient resistance in recent months has contributed to changing the Western position of weapons provided to this country.

Before Russia launched a campaign in late February, the Ukrainian army used mainly Soviet -made weapons and equipment.

As the war lasted, the West continued to improve the criteria for the damage of weapons to meet the needs of Ukraine forces on the battlefield.

Slovakia, a NATO member, said this month was considering providing 11 MiG-29 fighters produced by the Soviet Union.

American parliamentarians Mike Quig Zerty, who recently met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev, said that the most interested weapons of Ukraine today are the further missile system, because Kiev is preparing for the counterattack in the domain.

However, Mr. Quigley, member of the House Intelligence Committee, said that the proposal to provide fighter jets for Ukraine once again received much attention.

In March, after Poland proposed to transfer MiG-29 to Ukraine through the US Air Force base in Germany, the Pentagon refused to propose, when concerned that it was at risk of escalating.

Intelligence evaluation then applied only to Polish MiG-29.

Cedric Leighton, a retired Air Force Colonel and President of Cedric Leighton Associates, said Western Western concerns in the early days after the conflict broke out as Russia would win against the battle.

People used to think it would be a disaster, but now they seriously do it.
