Ukraine seeks up to 16 Czech-made L-39 Skyfox jets to boost air defences
The Czech Republic is pushing a plan to supply Ukraine with up to 16 L-39 Skyfox light attack aircraft as Kyiv seeks cheaper ways to intercept Russian drones. Czech First Deputy Prime Minister and Industry and Trade Minister Karel Havlicek said talks were under way during a visit to Kyiv. Four aircraft have been confirmed, with discussions continuing on 12 more. A Drone Hunter configuration has been unveiled but has no confirmed combat use.
