F-16 aircraft will be equipped with bombs and missiles used on Mig-29 and Su-27, but they will be used much more effectively than they are today. This was stated by the spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ihnat during a telethon, UNN reports.
The question is what kind of equipment our partners will provide us with. Today, we use Harm anti-radar missiles and GBU-62 JDAM bombs on Mig-29 and Su-27 aircraft. This is what will also be on the F-16. Only those bombs and missiles will be used much more effectively than they are used today from Soviet fighters
The Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson added that "there is still a missing missile of what... air-to-air class, AIM-120 Amraam".
"We will also discuss with our partners what modifications will be made, as these missiles can strike air targets," Ihnat said.
Recall
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg saidthat when Ukraine receives F-16 fighter jets from the allies, it will have the right to strike at Russian military targets outside of our country.
