The American publication “The National Interest” wrote in an analysis that the United States will never deploy fifth-generation F-35 fighters will not send to Ukraine, because in this case this technology may be available to Russia.
This article states: America, despite already having these types of aircraft sent to other countries such as Singapore and Norway, but never delivered F-35 to Ukraine. The reason is clear: first of all, the production of these fighters requires large financial investments. The cost to build each F-35 aircraft is about 1.7 trillion dollars. US citizens have long suffered from government funding in favor of Ukraine. They will not support sending such expensive equipment to Kiev.
The second reason, according to this publication, is that the United States may be involved in sending one of the weapons systems. Doubt yourself about Ukraine’s advances against one of its main competitors in the field of military weapons. The possibility of the F-35 going down in a dogfight is inevitable, and a downed F-35 could give Russia an opportunity to redesign the fifth-generation aircraft.
