According to the words of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Denis Schmyhal, the aim of this roadmap is to strengthen the country’s aviation capabilities. The roadmap envisions the use of air power during operations, effective combat against the opponent during aggression, and the prevention of its further advances.

What Does the Roadmap for Aviation Development Envision?

The goal of the roadmap is to enhance Ukraine's capabilities. In particular:

• to utilize air power during joint operations and NATO activities;
• to inflict effective defeats on the opponent during ongoing aggression;
• to prevent the opponent's advance and deter them in the future.

'Thanks to this document, the Air Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to deter the opponent's aggression by having the capability to employ air power according to NATO standards,' the statement reads.

The Ministry of Defense, together with the Command of the Air Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, today presented this roadmap to the President of Ukraine, Commander-in-Chief Volodymyr Zelensky.

NATO Air Doctrine

The NATO air doctrine is a strategic document that defines the principles and methods of employing air forces to ensure security and deter aggression. This document plays a key role in NATO's defense strategy and defines the preparation of new members and partners of the alliance.

In this context, it is noteworthy that the Ukrainian President today appointed a new commander of the Air Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and also announced new phases of development for this important branch of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
