The possible supply of British fighter jets to Ukraine would lead to military-political consequences for the whole world, the Russian embassy in London said in a statement on February 8.
“London should remember that under such a scenario, the ‘bloody harvest’ the next round of escalation will reap, as well as the military-political consequences ensuing from this for the European continent and the whole world will rest squarely upon its conscience. Russia will find proper means to respond to any unfriendly steps taken by the British side,” the statement reads.
The embassy pointed out that the “fundraising campaign” carried out by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in London would have been incomplete without “him begging for another batch of weapons which Kiev stopped attributing as ‘defensive’ long ago.”
“Taking into account the fate of NATO artillery systems regularly used by the Kiev military to pound peaceful cities and towns in Donbass, there is little doubt that Western warplanes, if ever shipped, will also be used shortly for air raids on residential neighborhoods in cities of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Luhansk People’s Republic, the Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions that have come under Russian protection,” the statement said.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced ahead of his meeting with Zelensky in London on February 8 that the United Kingdom would expand training for Ukrainian servicemen, “from soldiers to marines and fighter jet pilots.”
The Prime Minister’s office said that Ukrainian pilots will develop skills that will allow them to be able to “fly sophisticated NATO-standard fighter jets in the future.”
Sunak’s spokesperson said later that the British government would investigate what jets the UK might be able to provide, adding “this is a long-term solution, rather than a short-term capability which is what Ukraine needs most now.”.
On February 5, British defense secretary Ben Wallace told the BBC that there will be no immediate transfer of UK fighter jets to Ukraine. The secretary said that supplying fighter jets to use in the conflict would potentially take months.
According to Wallace, the UK is now focusing on using alternative provision of air cover to Ukraine. The secretary did not completely rule out sending fighter jets to Ukraine, but said air support and supporting moving troops could be achieved by using long-range missiles and drones.
The UK was one of few countries that began supplying weapons to Kiev forces prior to the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine. Along with the United States, the kingdom has been playing a key role in prolonging the conflict in the country.
Supplying Ukraine with fighter jets will help keep its air forces operational. However, it will not likely challenge Russia’s aerial superiority.

I don’t care much, the UK is so poor, miserable, it’s third world, a banana republic. All means are faulty, I remember a few years ago that the nuclear submarine “Astute” (a name, a program, ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!), was so advanced that it ended up on the rocks. The last aircraft carrier, the Queen Elizabeth II, which was undergoing testing, flooded ………………… and it hasn’t run out of flaws yet. etc. etc. .
You call them if you want, buffoons.
hope their jets come with a handy tube of superglue haha
Very funny! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
UK has no money to feed Royal Navy sailors.
Or repair deterrent submarines. Hence why they are patched together with super glue. Cost effective UK defence cuts.
It’s awful! It’s bankrupt. Losers!
UK is on the verge of self extermination.
The trick is to sprinkle baking soda on the bolt heads and THEN apply the superglue.
Britain really has nothing to offer. These days she can’t even offer blood, sweat and toil. No longer the workshop of Europe; the Tories are tauting Britain as the sweatshop of Europe. A few years ago the British state didn’t have the resources to stop a Russian battlecruiser pulling up in the Moray Firth. These days she wont feed her young with malnutrition on the rise along with ricketts, TB and cholera now reappearing.
Maybe so. But still 100 times better place for humans than Russia. Half of your Russian elite lives here and send kids to British schools so it isn’t that bad? Right?
Piss, shit and full of royal crap country.
The exiles that refuse to be good Russian citizens. The Bolshevik friendly oligarchs living in SW3, moved in when Boris was Mayor of London. No doubt another 10% to the ‘Big Man’ con. Guess how many donated to the Conservative Party and run Integrity Initiative?
The once military might of the British Empire is long gone. What one must understand is how it continues to influence other countries by contaminating their public and private institutions; in many cases entire governments. Be aware though the British still have enough nuclear weapons to destroy all of Europe!
Yeah but if they fire them, they’d probably destroy Brazil instead.
Actually, you have a point. I read in an IMF report somewhere that Nigeria had a less corrupt and more efficient economy than Ukraine.
lol what a retarded parrot
One of the global effects could be to coordinate with Argentina’s left wing president an eventual operation to retake Las Malvinas with Russian help.
Perfect idea. I would support it.
In 1982 there was a military dictatorship running the country. They had some instability and needed an external force to unite the country. Today, despite the country still being unstable, there is zero appetite for military actions from the left wing parties. They are feminist, pacifist, green ideas oriented. They support BRICS but in way will they ever have any will to engage in military confrontation. There is also now this mindset all across latinoamerica, including Brazil, of preserving the whole region as a peace oriented zone. Same can be told about Mexico in relation with US. Even Cuba doesn’t have much appetite for provoking US again like in cold War. But some nations would accept some chinese and Russian bases just to piss off Uncle Sam a little and show the world their double standards.
Latin American left-wing is National Bolshevist, not like the woke Western left.
The Bolsheviks, created in the City of London, along with the National Socialists (including German WorkersxParty) run the woke Far Left and also the Far Right. Remind me, where does the Far Right start and the Far Left end?
“They are feminist, pacifist, green ideas oriented.”
hmm… I doubt it , I know many people from these countries , and they are not like that. Sure they don’t need war adventures , and just if you see the actual European “feminist , pacifist and green oriented” warmongers and nazi supporters, you will not wish the same for South America.
Please god protect this continent against this plague.
UK government policy towards Russia and Ukraine war may likely push Russia to the wall, and that will probably force Russia to think of either to wipe out the entire Kiev.
Why wipe out Kiev if the problem is in London? I only hope that Russia is strong enough to defend against NATO for much longer, because it will need to, and that it also has the will.
Russia on a small defence budget is far stronger than NATO. NATO have no hypersonic, in active service. Cannot penetrate the Russian defence system and has fewer nuclear warheads combined than Russia. NATO members submarines, specifically ballistic, are relics from the previous century and not due to be replaced for another decade, ignoring late delivery.
Kiev is not the problem , the problem is Washinton and London , both should be nuked.
RF is talking too much hot air. Now it’s time for you to walk the talk. Otherwise we will lose the confidence in you. So retaliate by destroying the deliveries, before they arrive in Ukraine. Or are these “effects” just empty words again?
Yea, I’d pay money to see RF hit a Nato member.
me too, game on
They should just hit the delivery the moment it reaches ukraine or sinke a ship which delivers it once it is in ukrainian waters.
better to destroy the threat before it arrives in Ukraine.
Ukraine has no waters!
This also true
Last time i checked the route to odessa was open cause the russian fleet was in novorossysk or sevastopol. Hiding from pesky british anti ship missiles which tend to come from out of nowhere.
Pepsico to the rescue. Will sell them bottled water at a buck a pop.
Is the “City of London” a NATO Member? If not it’s destruction would be a quick way to solve the majority of the World’s problems. Small enough not to need a nuke!
I support this brilliant strategy
No, just controls them, along with Washington DC and the Vatican. 3 Corporations that rule the world.
This war is a marathon, not a sprint.
What’s the hurry? The West is slitting their own throats over Ukraine, and Russia is living inside their heads rent-free. The Russians know how the West thinks, and therefore know how to trigger them into making mistakes.
According to you. Russia are geniuses where timing is concerned. Or do you prefer NATO style carpet b*mbing?
just google my name

The funny thing is that UK and Russia were allies during Napoleonic wars and the two world wars.
The Bolsheviks were created by the City of London. How much did a certain family make betting against Napoleon? Russia exited WW1 owing to the City of London led Bolshevik Revolution. Ww11 the Georgian Bolshevik leader led the Soviets. 1991, fall of Soviet Union, but City of London still craves the resources of Russia, for free and dividing Russia into tiny states, similar to Yugoslavia.

Could you translate your comment into some recognizable language – doesn’t matter which.
He likes to use the click click language of pygmies when entertaining men in person.
Jens, please use google translator for your comments. Trying to convey whatever you want to convey in your own words in English comes up as gibberish no one understands.
Jens never used to be illiterate! The double dildoe monster must have fucked the brain out of him [again].
A reasonable person like Putin cannot negotiate with the psychopaths of the west and europe who are depopulating their own countries via poison fake medical procedures. Irrational people who are outright murderers cannot be reasoned with, they can only be destroyed, because they are a threat to all life on earth. Better launch now Putin because these criminals have no intention of being held accountable for their mass murdering.
The longer you wait the stronger their position.
Yea, the global effect is that Russia gets shoved out of Ukraines borders. Cry harder
With 5 aircraft the ukies don’t know how to use and a few old model tanks? Hahahahaha.
When you wake up you’ll be lost!
Russia has put red lines every time which have all been crossed and nothing has changed, Russia must stop putting red lines and just block the border with poland then crush all that is bad inside from ukraine
The uk is run by a wef puppet sunak who wants make everyone poor with central bank digital currency. I wish that there was a way to overthrow him and all other wef young glonal leaders. We dont want the great reset and we dont want this war
Rusko si už z týmto problémom nejako len poradí. To čo je problém je ale to, že do kedy bude RF ochotná ešte znášať provokácie zo západu? Príučku by mali Rusi dať USA v Sýrii. Jednoducho ich tam zrušiť a následne by mali tým bastardom povedať, že ak neprestanú z provokáciami tak sa to stane aj samotným USA. To by bolo z môjho pohľadu celkom slušné varovanie. Stačí dodať to správne vybavenie Sýrii a potom si iba počkať. Tak ako USA vyzbrojujú Ukrajinu tak by Rusko malo vyzbrojiť Sýriu.
I think Russia will shoot them all down and it will be NBD. Russia is really good at breaking stuff, even if its flying through the air.
The UK is a basket case and has historically been an international troublemaker and rapacious Imperial plunderer across the planet for 300 + years. However, its twilight years have arrived just before deep darkness arrives for its hapless inhabitants under a horrific Globalist Dictatorship that will make Hitler’s Europe seem like a tea party!

It is very likely that the planes will come with British pilots, and when they are shot down and the pilots captured and paraded, what will the British peoe say?
They’ll say when is the Premier League starting again.
Britain is going for f35 so eurofighters will end up in Ukraine. Simple like that. Question is how quickly can you train Ukrainian pilots.
First planes provided to Ukraine will be set of around 100 modernised by USA mig29s from Poland, Slovakia and other EU countries.
The Eurofighter is high maintenance, as well as very costly to run, which is why the Austrian’s sold off theirs, and that was the basis model with no frills.
The problem will be if they arrive where to base the planes. Trained maintenance will take years so UK staff and nice collateral. Alternatively fly out of Poland, again nice collateral. It’s all bluff. Ukraine is bamboozled.
Then you know they will be intended to do suicidal missions, that should be worrying that western governments are at this point of reasoning.
Obviously the cover will be training of Ukranian pilots while planes will be flown by NATO pilots..
This whole war is sad
Hypothesis, Britain specifically knows their country is completely fucked, the laws they’re trying to impose are going to make living in the U.K hell on earth, and it’s largely a hell of their own creation over the last 30-40 years.
Same goes for the United States, and many members of the NATO/EU axis, the WEF and all of the politics that have resulted in the ruined western nations in the past decades are all taking their toll, and I would theorize that if Russia is left unaffected by these self-imposed tyrannical rules, it will serve as a huge problem for the NATO/EU axis.
Case in point people already equate right wing protesters in some countries to Russian soldiers, they identify opposition to the derangement of the left and the WEF, etc as being uniform and indistinct.
Another attempt to force Russia to use nuclear weapons; even if low yield. This would give NATO the excuse to unleash hell on earth. People need to wise up to the never changing satanic British Empire.
There’s a big difference between what the unelected UK Puppet government do as an extension of the US military-industrial complex and Wall street and what the ordinary man on the street would like to see. It’s easy to hurle insults at the UK and it’s entire population but what these critiques don’t see is the opposition of the vast majority of the population to this dirty war and the fact that they feel so powerless and trapped. Let there be no doubt about it the UK is a police state like soviet Russia circa 1975. What can they do?
Actually all nato members see the ukr field as a great opportunity to dump their sate if art junk. It comes ss no surprise the high marketing they do. On the the other side Russia too is playing a silly game. Longer this goes more dangerous it turns.
Can’t the S-400 and 500 shoot these things down all the way from Kamchatka?
