A colonel in the California Air National Guard told Fox News that Ukrainian pilots are '100 percent' capable of flying fourth-generation warplanes as the war with Russia rages.
Ukrainian fighter pilot 'Juice' and Ukrainian aerial defense specialist Lt. Col. Denys Smazhnyi discuss why Ukraine is pleading for more military aid from the U.S. as Putin's assault continues.A top official in the California Air National Guard is setting the record straight when it comes to thedefying expectations in the sky against Russian sorties, telling Fox News they are"100 percent" capable of flying fourth-generation warplanes.
"The Ukrainians are so undervalued and under-appreciated. Which is exactly why I think they're winning the war because everybody underestimated that they were way better than anybody gave them credit for," he added.Washington has responded to the deadly bombardment of Russian airstrikes and heavy artillery in Ukraine by sending the former Soviet state-turned democratic nation billions of dollars worth of equipment, but the Pentagon has all but shut the door on sending warplanes.
Leaders of the world’s most sophisticated military have cited concerns over Ukrainian ability and the threat of escalated warfare as chief reasons why they have denied Kyiv’s repeated pleas for modern warplanes like F-16s, F-15s of A-10s. Swertfager, who has traveled to Ukraine more than 70 times in the last 20 years, has a personal relationship with the Ukrainian air force and told Fox News that he has spoken with his fellow pilots daily since the war began in February.
