Deputy Foreign Minister Melnyk proposes Germany to transfer Tornado Multirole combat aircraft to Ukraine

Andrii Melnyk, the Deputy Foreign Minister and former ambassador of Ukraine to Germany, has appealed to the German government with a proposal to transfer 93 Tornado fighter jets to Ukraine, which are still to be replaced by the F-35. Source: Andrii Melnyk on Twitter, reports European Pravda "I have a creative proposal for our German friends.

The Bundeswehr has 93 Tornado multi-role combat aircraft that will be decommissioned soon and replaced by F-35.  Though it's an old jet fighter, but still very powerful. Why not deliver these Tornadoes to Ukraine, Chancellor Scholz?" wrote Melnyk.

As reported, Andrii Melnyk believes that the announced delivery of German Marder armoured personnel carriers to Ukraine is the right but very late decision.

However, the former ambassador of Ukraine in Berlin expressed the hope that "after this long-overdue step, nothing will prevent Ukraine from immediately receiving all available heavy weapons, including battle tanks, fighter jets, and warships, to stop Russia's genocidal war in the heart of Europe".
