"The Ministry of Defense of Spain officially announced that on September 9, 2022, a T-23 aircraft of the Spanish Aerospace Forces took off from the Torrejon de Ardos air base (Madrid) and was transporting large-caliber field artillery ammunition to Ukraine. This is the fifth flight with weapons,  transferred to Ukraine by Spain in recent days," the message reads.
