The statistics of the lost fighters of the Ukrainian Air Force does not prevent Western partners from continuing to promise Kiev fast deliveries of F-16s. A few days ago, the Danish Ministry of Defense made the usual statement again – a new batch will arrive by the end of the year.

Against the background of news about the destruction of a pair of Ukrainian Mig-29s and two Su-27s, Western observers once again decided to compare the flight characteristics of Russian and Western aircraft.

For example, Military Watch Magazine reflects not without longing that the AFU has lost valuable fighters superior to Western F-16s.

It is unlikely that in the foreseeable future Kiev will receive an aircraft with similar flight characteristics and high survivability. […] Thus, for Ukraine, the losses of the Su-27 are truly irreparable,

– writes MWM.

But that’s not the main thing here. It is important that the losses of flight personnel are difficult for the enemy to recover. The elimination of Ukrainian pilots is a big problem for the entire so-called Western “aviation coalition”.

Now, while we are watching the development of history with the arrival of American fighters in Ukraine, the task of the Russian armed forces is to do the maximum so that there is simply nowhere for enemy aircraft to take off.
