Ukraine reportedly requested Hornet jets from Finland. Two NATO countries have already pledged MiG-29s to Ukraine.
When asked to compare the fighter/attack jets to the other aircraft Ukraine is set to receive, McCardle said:"the Hornet and MiG-29 Fulcrum are fairly well-matched."
Fulcrums and Hornets are known for having high maneuverability, and the jets were developed at roughly the same time. However, F/A-18s have seen many upgrades over the years that have allowed the integration of newer technology like infrared sensor targeting systems and fuel tanks that allow for increased flying range, which might not be available on older-model MiG-29s.
