美国同意丹麦荷兰向乌克兰提供F-16战机

新华社北京8月18日电 美国官员17日披露,美国政府已经批准丹麦、荷兰向乌克兰提供美制F-16型战斗机。不过,乌方对于在年内用上F-16战机并不乐观。

路透社以一名知情美国政府官员为信源报道,美国政府已同意丹麦、荷兰两国在结束对乌克兰飞行员F-16战机驾驶培训后向乌方提供这些战机。

    这名官员称,美国务卿安东尼·布林肯已致函丹麦、荷兰两国外交大臣,确认美方将批准两国向乌克兰提供F-16战机的请求,称美方“全力支持”向乌方提供F-16战机以及驾驶培训,使乌方有能力“抵抗俄罗斯持续进攻”。

乌克兰政府今年年初以来一直呼吁西方国家提供F-16战机。

美国总统约瑟夫·拜登5月表态支持盟友向乌克兰提供F-16战机和驾驶培训。培训中心将设在丹麦和罗马尼亚。据路透社报道,准备向乌克兰提供战机的11个国家本月开始在丹麦对乌克兰飞行员展开F-16战机驾驶培训,培训预计持续半年。

乌克兰空军发言人尤里·伊格纳特16日接受乌克兰媒体采访时承认,“我们将无法在今年秋天和冬天用F-16战机保护乌克兰。”不过,一些美国官员私下表示,F-16战机对乌克兰帮助不大,即使最终抵达战场也“不会成为战局改变者”。

俄罗斯去年2月对乌克兰发动特别军事行动以来,美国等西方国家不断援乌军备,如今又在援乌F-16战机方面动作频频。俄罗斯外交部长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫警告,乌克兰境内出现可挂载核武器的F-16战机将被俄视为西方的核威胁。
