One of America's most decorated former fighter pilots says he would volunteer to fly combat missions over Ukraine if the chance was offered.

Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Dan 'Two Dogs' Hampton flew the F-16 for 20 years and earned four Distinguished Flying Crosses with Valor and a Purple Heart.

Having flown 151 combat sorties, he has taken part in both the First Gulf War, Kosovo and the war in Iraq.

Lt Col Hampton says he backs the idea of giving Ukraine Western jets, particularly F-16s, but says it will take time.
