According to Yle, the Finnish Air Force will need them until thenSTOCKHOLM, March 24.

/tass/. Finland, most likely, will not be able to supply Ukraine with F/A-18 Hornet fighters until 2026, since the republic's Air Force needs them. This was announced on Friday by Yle TV and radio company.

According to her, Finland will receive the first F-35 fighters ordered to replace the F/A-18 Hornet no earlier than 2026, and the last batch ordered will arrive only by 2030. Until then, the Finnish Air Force will need them.

Director of the Finnish defense company Patria Esa Rautalinko believes that the delivery of decommissioned fighters to Kiev is unlikely to be effective, even if it takes place. "What will be the costs of their re-commissioning in another country? We will have to install new systems and carry out repairs. It is unknown how effective it will be," he said.

The discussion on the possibility of Finland transferring fighter jets to Ukraine began after the Prime Minister of the Republic Sanna Marin mentioned this during her visit to Kiev on March 10. On March 23, the Finnish Defense Ministry confirmed that Kiev had requested trilateral talks with the participation of the United States to discuss possible supplies.
