Quote: "When a battle calls for artillery, it should be provided. When victory calls for tanks, their rumbling must be heard on the front lines.
When independence needs air [safe airspace], you shouldn't pay attention to how Russia will react to our planes, you shouldn't guess which number would look safer next to the letter F - 16 or some other number. You have to take action!
Take action in the same way that your leadership manifested itself in the tank coalition. I believe that it will manifest itself in the aviation coalition as well."
