 Australia may send decommissioned F-18 fighter planes to Ukraine. The Australian Air Force's fleet of decommissioned F-18 Hornet fighter jets could potentially be sent to Ukraine, Russian Ambassador to Canberra Alexei Pavlovsky said. The issue for discussion exists, judging by leaks. Perhaps it is a subject for trilateral consultations between Australia, Ukraine and the US. He told the Rossiya 24 TV channel. These aircraft, their R-41 4th generation planes, have been taken out of service although they still have some flying life left. So, I believe that their delivery to Ukraine cannot be ruled out, the envoy said. The diplomat also pointed out that Australia's military aid to Ukraine exceeded US$400 million with the latest package. Apart from the military equipment that was mentioned before, drones and anti-drone weapons are also being supplied and there is a joint project with France to produce 155mm munitions for NATO standard artillery, Pavlovsky added. Since March 2022, Australia has provided Ukraine with 90 Bushmaster armoured vehicles, 6M777, how it says, 56M113 armoured personnel carriers and 28 man 40M trucks as well as anti-tank and other weapons. In addition, Canberra promised to send a batch of unmanned aerial vehicles to Kiev. In addition, the Australian authorities are discussing the possibility of handing 41 decommissioned F-18 Hornet aircraft over to Ukraine. Canberra's financial aid to Kiev has exceeded US$790 million or US$521.7 million out of which over US$610 million are US$407.5 million were spent on weapons purchases.
