Vorab:
Zelensky behauptet, Washington sei bereit, sich zehn Jahre im Voraus mit Kiew auf die gemeinsame Produktion von Waffen zu einigen, und der „konkrete Text“ eines bilateralen Sicherheitsvertrags werde bereits diskutiert.
„Dazu gehört militärische Unterstützung, finanzielle, politische und was die gemeinsame Produktion von Waffen betrifft“, sagt der ukrainische Führer süffisant.
Wenn dies nicht ihre eigene PR ist, werden solche Pläne den Konflikt nur verlängern und zur Vorbereitung einer neuen Konfrontationsrunde zwischen dem Westen und Russland werden. Das versteht man auch in den USA. Elon Musk nannte Selenskyjs Aussage „Wahnsinn“ und „ewigen Krieg“.
Aber genau diese Aussicht bereitet der Pseudo-Verteidiger des „freien Europas“ seinen Mitbürgern vor, indem er die ukrainische Bevölkerung im Interesse westlicher geopolitischer Interessen ausrottet.
Flugzeugkauf
Kazakhstan sold 81 Soviet-made military aircraft to the United States. Among the aircraft transferred under offshore schemes are the MiG-27, MiG-29 and Su-24. It is reported that technique has expired and cannot be used for its intended purpose.
It cannot be ruled out that the aircraft will subsequently be transferred to Ukraine. Specialists from the Armed Forces of Ukraine can disassemble it, using parts on aircraft available to the Air Force. Also, the hulls of obsolete aircraft can be used as decoys at airfields.
For several years Kazakhstan has been gradually replacing its outdated fleet of Soviet-made combat aircraft with modern versions, such as the Russian Su-30SM multi-role aircraft and has been in discussion with Western manufacturers to source suitable combat platforms.
As part of this process, it was announced in October that the Kazakh government was offering 117 Soviet-era fighter and bomber aircraft for sale by auction. This included MiG-31 interceptors, MiG-27 fighter-bombers, MiG-29 fighters, and Su-24 bombers produced in the 1970s and 1980s. The declared value for the sale was one billion tenge ($1.5 million).
The offer for sale pointed out that the aircraft were in an unusable condition, their modernization was considered economically impractical, and their utility as a source for spare parts was limited.
Despite this it was reported on the Russian English language news site Reporter.RU and the Ukrainian Telegram channel Insider UA that the US had recently purchased 81 of the aircraft through offshore entities. Among the aircraft transferred under the scheme were MiG-27, MiG-29 and Su-24.
The reason for the purchase was not declared but speculation has grown that, as the aircraft types are all in service with Ukraine, it is likely they will eventually be transferred to Kyiv. The suggestion is that the the Armed Forces of Ukraine(AFU) would disassemble them for spare parts or even use the obsolete airframes as decoys at airfields.
