The F-16 fighter jets, supplied to Ukraine by Western countries, may undergo technical maintenance at Lockheed Martin's service center in Poland, if Washington approves of it, the US defense company's chief operating officer has said.
"Our intention for that facility is that it'll be a regional facility, and so Ukraine is certainly in the region. So again, all of this comes under the guidance and auspices of the US government and so it's certainly capable of doing that, but we'll follow the government's lead on how they want us to work Ukraine support," Frank St. John told the news website on Monday.
The company will reportedly look to apply a similar model of building a maintenance hub in Ukraine as it did in Poland. It is also planning to establish more regional maintenance centers beyond Poland, in western European countries, Australia and East Asia, St. John said.
