Ukraine receives war fighters from an “anonymous fan”. The Pentagon hides the provenance. However like diamonds, a Jet is forever …

Generals are phenomena, if they did not exist, we would need inventories (or not). For the first time since the Russian invasion began, the Pentagon made cryptic confirmation on Tuesday that Ukraine has received fixed-wing fighter jets, that is, fighters. In a press conference, spokesman John Kirby was careful to say that it was not the United States that sent them, but as a good mediator, he left some signals.

He did not specify what types of aircraft they were sent, only that Ukrainian forces " have more fixed-wing fighter jets at their disposal right now than they did two weeks ago ". So they are not helicopters. Kirby said : " Without going into what other nations are providing, they (the Ukrainian forces) have received platforms (ie planes) and additional parts to be able to increase the size of their fleet ."

" Other nations that have experience with these types of aircraft have been able to help them operate more aircraft ," Kirby added. Regarding the role of the United States, he specified only the assistance provided in the shipment of some parts, but that the United States " did not transport the entire plane ". There was no end, Zelesky will have found it under the plate …

All this after the Ukrainian president wasted weeks begging for the delivery of fighters in order to counter Russian air superiority. However, the signs are clear as to who may be Kiev's secret suitor:

  • he did not send helicopters;
  • sent fighters already in use by the Ukrainian aviation, then MiG 29 or MiG 27 Flanker.
  • it is probably a NATO and European country. It could hardly have come from Peru (which uses Mig 29), although not impossible;

There remain Poland, Bulgaria, Slovakia for the MiG 29s and none for the MiG 27s, which however, like the MiG 29s, are owned by private American citizens. If old MiG 21s had arrived, it could have been Romania. If we saw Ukrainian pilots flying on an Mb 346…. it would be us (and it would be an excellent choice, in the assault version, but a bit showy…). Of course, receiving hunting “without your knowledge” is nice, but a little dry. You never know who to send the thank you note to.
