Request to send RAAF Williamtown F/A-18s to Ukraine

F/A-18 Hornets from RAAF Williamtown take off for a simulated air attack off the coast during the East Coast Air Defence Exercise in 2011. Picture supplied.

Retired F/A-18 Hornets from the Williamtown RAAF Base are likely to be transferred to Ukraine as part of its war effort against Russia.

Forty one fighter jets and associated spare parts have been in storage at the base since they were withdrawn from service in late 2021.
