Currently, Western countries do not know who will supply Ukraine with ammunition for American-made F-16 fighter planes. This is reported by The Financial Times.

Retired Marshal of the Royal Air Force Edward Stringer believes that the Kiev regime can be supplied with American medium-range AMRAAM missiles or longer-range Meteor missiles produced in Europe. With the help of these missiles, the West expects to increase the combat power of the Ukrainian armed forces.

Each AMRAAM rocket costs $1 million. As you can see, the money will have to be allocated for such impressive ammunition, but it is not very clear which country will take over the financing of ammunition supplies for the needs of the Ukrainian army.

Now a so-called "fighter coalition" is being formed in Europe to transfer F-16 aircraft to Ukraine. The role of the "skirmisher" in it, apparently, will belong to the Netherlands. It was this European country that was the first to agree to transfer aircraft to Ukraine, as well as to provide training for Ukrainian military pilots to operate American fighters.

The Russian Federation has repeatedly warned the West that the supply of military equipment and weapons only contributes to the prolongation and escalation of the conflict, in no way bringing its peaceful settlement closer. In addition, any Western-made military equipment, falling into the zone of a special military operation, turns into a legitimate target for strikes by Russian troops.
