Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka said this in an interview on Czech television, according to Ukrinform. "We personally negotiated with the Aero Vodochody plant to ensure that these aircraft are manufactured for Ukraine as a priority. Everything is fully ready on the Czech side. I personally tried to speed up the process," Macinka said, adding that Ukraine needs the aircraft to strengthen its air defenses, particularly to counter drones and cruise missiles. Prague is currently awaiting export licenses from partner countries for certain components and avionics, including those from Belgium, France and the United States, the diplomat said. "Funding for the first four aircraft has already been secured," the minister said.
