The Netherlands will supply 80 million euros ($89 million) worth of air-to-air missiles and maintenance equipment for Ukraine’s F-16s.

This includes support materials and spare parts essential for the aircraft’s continued operation, Dutch Minister of Defense Ruben Brekelmans said Friday at a Ukraine Defence Contact Group meeting in Germany.

“Besides large quantities of spare parts, these include generators, small vehicles, essential maintenance materials, specialized tools, and stairs. With the air-to-air missiles, Ukraine can take down enemy aircraft,” he added.

For operational safety, the announcement didn’t specify the delivery’s quantity and type.

The delivery timeline was also not disclosed. However, the Dutch Ministry of Defense stated that it would take place as soon as possible.
