The news about the appearance of F-16 fighters causes concern to russians, who will now be more careful to use their tactical weapons against Ukraine, in particular in frontline zones and peaceful cities. This opinion was expressed by military expert Valery Ryabykh in a comment UNN.
Details
Valery Ryabykh believes that Ukraine needs at least 5 brigades of F-16 fighters.
Gradually, we will still rearm to Western aircraft. What kind of aircraft they will be besides the F-16, we will see. At the moment, the composition of our Air Force is mixed, while we have 4 types of aircraft, excluding training and F-16s
He notes that in addition to the F16, Ukraine should receive French Mirage 2000 aircraft and Swedish JAS 39 Gripen, which will add additional capacity to the Ukrainian fleet.
We must understand that the resources of the planes that we had are not unlimited. Even taking into account the use of aviation before a full-scale invasion, the resource of these aircraft was until 2030. Now the resource is "burning out" in the x2 mode, so the acute issue of replacing Soviet aircraft is still waiting for us
According to him, no one is talking about the exact number of F16s now, but there are not many of them, so they will most likely be used in divisions.
F-16 fighters will be used as part of the unit, they will be minimally dispersed. Over time, they will gradually expand their range of tasks, starting with air defense functions
The expert says that even the very News that long-awaited fighter jets have appeared in Ukraine scares the russians.
The very fact that Ukraine has an F-16 scares the russians. They will be careful in using their tactical weapons, including those that terrorize frontline zones and peaceful cities with the help of Kabs
Recall
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that F-16 fighters are now a reality in the Ukrainian Sky. The head of state called it the realization of Ukraine's defense needs and ambitions.
