Ukraine to BUY 100 Rafales, 150 Gripens from France & Sweden | But Can It Ever Get Them?

Video Description

Ukraine has now secured letters of intent for 250 advanced Western fighter jets 100 Rafales from France and 150 Gripen-E from Sweden. On paper, it’s a historic shift: two NATO partners supplying two cutting-edge aircraft. But behind the headlines lie major obstacles. Neither country can scale production fast enough. Ukraine would need two separate training pipelines, maintenance systems and weapons integration. Funding depends on EU approval to use frozen Russian assets still unresolved. And with pilot shortages mounting, Ukraine may not have the personnel to fly them. All of it assumes one thing: that Ukraine survives the war and can afford to operate this fleet by 2035. Ambition is clear. Delivery is not. #ukraine #rafale #gripen #zelenskyy #ukrainerussiawar Welcome to Indiatimes Youtube channel. Your go-to source for news that matters.
