 American top general illustrates how U.S. helps Kiev's air force. American pilots have remained in constant contact with their Ukrainian counterparts during the conflict with Russia, advising on operational tactics and how to use U.S.-made weapons. Director of the U.S. Air National Guard, Lieutenant General Michael Loh has said, air-launched weapons supplied by Washington to Kiev come with permanent U.S. support. Loh reminded journalists at the Air and Space Force's Association Symposium in Colorado. The Americans initially explained to Ukrainian airmen what you need to do to survive the initial attack, with cooperation later expanding to, here's how you can continue to deliver airpower. Loh explained in comments cited by Business Insider. Most of his consulting has been provided through the California National Guard, which has been cooperating with Ukraine since the early 1990s as part of the National Guard's state partnership program according to the report. This has reportedly allowed a Ukrainian soldier to pick up the phone to say, hey, I'm having a problem with this weapon system, to somebody who actually trained them and solve a problem on the ground. The general pointed out, among other things he said, the U.S. pilots have been advising the Ukrainians on how to conduct combat in line with the U.S. Air Force's concept for dispersed operations and on how to use U.S.-made weapons, including the AGM-88 anti-radiation missiles and JDAMS guidance kits, which allow bombs to go farther. We're continuing to provide them with the tactics, techniques and procedures for things like agile combat employment and new weapons systems, Loh said.
