Even on the day when the American administration seems closer to the invading Russia than to the invaded Ukraine, Italian arms shipments to Kyiv continue.
An Italian Air Force Boeing KC-767A (reg. MM62227) conducted yesterday a flight between Pratica di Mare Air Base in Italy and Rzeszów, the hub in Poland where all military aid destined for Ukraine is concentrated.
The aircraft took off from Pratica di Mare at 19:15 CET local time and returned to Pratica di Mare at approximately 01:00.
The exact nature of the cargo on board the aircraft is unknown, but it is likely that it included military aid for Ukraine. Italy has been a strong supporter of Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia, and has provided billions of dollars in military and humanitarian aid.
The flight of the KC-767A is a further indication of Italy’s commitment to supporting Ukraine. The aircraft is a large cargo aircraft that is capable of carrying up to 70 tons of cargo.
