The Pentagon is already working with Ukraine on technical issues to make sure that Kyiv&#8217;s existing Soviet-era aircraft and recently delivered F-16s can launch such a missile, according to two of the sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The United States has rarely shared JASSM missiles before, with only a few close allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know, F-16s are provided to Ukraine by Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/un-presents-evidence-of-torture-of-ukrainians-in-russian-captivity\/\">UN presents evidence of torture of Ukrainians in Russian captivity<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Biden&#8217;s administration is \u2018open\u2019 to providing Ukraine with long-range cruise &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":989394,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36415],"tags":[78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-989389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
