Ukraine flying 40-year-old British helicopter  – BBC News


A military helicopter donated to Ukraine by the UK government was used in the Falklands conflict more than 40 years ago, the BBC has learned.

Despite its age, the Ukrainian military says the aircraft will help in the war against Russia.

The government in Kyiv asked for modern fighter jets armed with long-range missiles to help in a much-anticipated new offensive against Russian forces.

But the UK has not given any of its Typhoon fighter jets to Ukraine – it does not have enough to spare, and it would take too long to train Ukrainian pilots to use them. There are also broader fears that giving warplanes could escalate the conflict.
