Germany has outlined its military equipment contribution to Ukraine to aid Kyiv in its fight against Russia following Moscow’s renewed February invasion, in what could be interpreted as an attempt to set the record straight for its perceived inaction.
In a release issued on June 21, it was revealed that among the equipment provided so far included spare parts for MiG-29 fighter jets. Germany previously operated the platform, with the type leaving service in the early 2000s.
Ukraine operates the MiG-29, which was forced into action from the very outset of the full invasion by Russia, with intense air combat in the early stages as each side attempted to asset air superiority over the other.
