Rap in front of reporters had to be Deputy Secretary of defense for political Affairs Colin Kalu. A Pentagon spokesman, responding to a question on the situation of aircraft, said that he considered, but the final decision is still pending.

Fighters remain under consideration, but the final decision on this matter was not taken up

he said.

According to Kal, the supply of American or European aircraft to Ukraine now is not a priority, States are making efforts to provide the Ukrainians use of aircraft, already standing in their arms. To put it simply, the Americans are trying to supply to Ukraine, such a number of air defense systems, which could turn the tide in the sky. The fact is that neither the U.S. nor Europe has now the necessary number of SAM no, they need to produce. And give from its own reserves scary, because the conflict could go beyond Ukraine.

Continuing the theme of fighters, the Pentagon spokesman noted that although this issue is postponed, but it is possible that Kiev still get them, but only a few years.
