Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute Stephen Blank said that U.S. President Joe Biden and his administration must provide advanced F-15 fighter jets to Ukraine.
Stephen Blank calls that the need to upgrade Ukraine’s Air Force presents an opportunity for the Biden administration to cause Moscow some genuine pain, in both the real strategic sense and in terms of the long-running propaganda war.
Ukraine currently has a fleet of heavy fighters of around fifty Soviet-designed Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker interceptors. Around thirty are believed to be operational.
