Umerov stated Ukraine is prioritizing air superiority against Russian forces: "We worked last year to focus on pilot training, to obtain platforms, to build all the necessary infrastructure… this year we will focus on how to increase this so that we have an advantage over the enemy in the air." This underscores the urgency of establishing a strong aerial defense as part of their military strategy.
Commenting on ongoing negotiations for Western fighter jets, Umerov said, "Now we already have from our partners that they are giving a commitment [obligation to deliver] on F-16... a very good list of platforms and we are discussing when they will start. Soon we will have results that we will announce." This reflects the progressive steps taken towards enhancing Ukraine's aerial capabilities.
