"Again, this is a question for the governments of Ukraine and the United States, they will determine what the program for Ukraine will be. They will have specific numbers. At the moment, we are talking about the AH-1Z Viper combat helicopter and our UH-1YANKE (Venom) multi-purpose helicopter," Fikes said.

American AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters were caught on video from a US operation in Venezuela: the helicopters were recorded striking and maneuvering over the capital Caracas without visible resistance. Kyiv is preparing to purchase such helicopters to upgrade its fleet.
