Ukraine in talks with Lockheed Martin over Patriot interceptors and F-16 support
Original: Ukraine’s defence ministry says Lockheed Martin talks target more Patriot interceptors and keeping more F-16s operational
Ukraine's defence ministry says it is negotiating with Lockheed Martin to secure more Patriot interceptor missiles and improve the availability of its F-16 fighter fleet. The talks aim to sustain air defences against Russian missile and drone attacks while keeping more of the donated Western jets operational. The announcement underscores Kyiv's reliance on US-made systems as the war with Russia continues.
Why now: Ongoing Russian air attacks make Ukrainian air defence and fighter jet sustainability a pressing military and political issue.
