A senior Ukrainian Air Force official rejected a donation of Australian fighter-bombers, calling them “flying trash,” the Australian Financial Review reported. Kiev later changed its mind and asked for the planes months later, but the aircraft had already been scrapped.
The idea of handing over 41 of the Royal Australian Air Force’s retired F/A-18 Hornet jets was first floated last March. Two months later at the G7 summit in Japan, US President Joe Biden gave the green light to his Western allies to send American-made fourth-generation jets to Ukraine.
However, when Kiev was encouraged to make a formal request for the Australian planes, an unnamed Ukrainian Air Force official dismissed them as trash that Canberra was eager to offload, Australian Financial Review wrote, quoting a defense contractor who was present during the talks.
“He called them ‘flying trash,’” the defense contractor said. “That basically killed the F/A-18 deal. Had he not done it they would have been flying over Ukraine now.”
By that time, Kiev had already begun talks with several of its Western sponsors about receiving F-16 Fighting Falcons. Norway, Denmark, and the Netherlands have offered to donate some of theirs towards Ukraine’s war effort against Russia, while other countries have offered training for Ukrainian pilots.
Similarly, Ukraine passed up the chance to obtain Australian MRH-90 Taipan helicopters, which were already being disassembled by the time Kiev asked for them.
