Defense contractor Lockheed Martin said it’s ready to help Kyiv fly and maintain its F-16 fighter jets if NATO countries agree to send them to Ukraine to help in its fight against Russia.
Frank St. John, the defense giant’s chief operating officer, said any decision to send its fourth-generation fighters to Ukraine would happen only after discussions between Kyiv and NATO members, especially the U.S.
Ukraine has pleaded with the West to provide NATO-standard jet fighters and has lobbied for the F-16. But Washington controls whether the fighters can go there directly from the U.S. or transferred from a third-party country.
