ukrainian pilots but whether or not that will be followed by the donation of british fighters jets and other nato fighterjets, we will have to see. we will have more from our defence correspondent, jonathan beale, on the various possibilities, but president zelensky making his way from buckingham palace in his motorcade on a sunny but cold day in the capital. speaking of the weather, let s get the latest forecast. we have seen some big weather contrasts so far today. early fog has given away to send skies. the wind has been strengthening. cloud has been gathering and let me show you this beautiful satellite picture showing exactly what is going on. this strike of cloud working in from the north west. the wind strengthening
thanking all of you in advance for powerful english planes. applause he is definitely wanting those fighterjets. no doubt about what he wants. what has he got at least from the uk and other countries, he has got tanks. jonathan, the uk has been training quite a lot of ukrainian troops, what else is he doing today while he is in britain? he will visit where ukrainian troops have now arrived to train on those british army challenger two tanks, 14 being given by the uk, in addition to that there are 30 of these large af 90 self propelled guns. the reason we give those types of weapons is to break through russian lines. we talk about russian offensive expected imminently, and ukraine wants to conduct its own offensive to take back territory this spring and it is looking to
missiles but not fighterjets? is it because we are worried about provoking russia? that s always in the back of people s mines, and you have got to get a coalition of countries willing to do something, we have had from joe biden, when asked if the us will provide f 16jets, he simply joe biden, when asked if the us will provide f 16 jets, he simply said no. unless a country moves that has got fighterjets to give, i think it is difficult to see them. it s not impossible, but i think it is unlikely and it is certainly more unlikely and it is certainly more unlikely that it will be the uk providing those fighter jets. unlikely that it will be the uk providing those fighterjets. they are offering the training of existing pilots, remember the moment ukraine has more trained pilots on the fast jets than ukraine has more trained pilots on the fastjets than it has aircraft, it does have some spare capacity. we are talking about learning to adapt to western techniques, even possibly learning in
those tanks and those artillery pieces to do that. back to the glass ceiling, the west side of essentially they will not going to this send western tanks to the ukraine. that taboo has been broken, that boo has been smashed and he is getting western made tanks that he wants, probably he would like more of them but in the numbers, not all of them but in the numbers, not all of them but in the numbers, not all of them will arrive in the same time. they are going to go to ukraine. i think he is seen that. when he looks and thinks about fighterjets, he knows that a no may change over time. it fighterjets, he knows that a no may change over time. change over time. it might be a ma be. change over time. it might be a maybe- it change over time. it might be a maybe- it may change over time. it might be a maybe. it may be change over time. it might be a maybe. it may be in change over time. it might be a maybe. it may be in the - change over time. it might be a maybe. it may be in the
