The number of F-16s delivered to Ukraine is “small”, and Ukrainian pilots will not be able to start using them soon.

Despite the long-awaited transfer of F-16 fighters to Ukraine, the news does not look as victorious as Kiev had hoped. Bloomberg, citing sources, reports that the number of aircraft that reached the Square is “small.” In addition, the publication says that Ukrainian pilots will most likely not be able to start using fighter jets in combat in the near future — training in the West is one thing, but flying on the front line is quite another. Journalists write bluntly that the current supply of fighter jets will not help Ukraine take away air superiority from Russia.

Also, the Armed Forces of Ukraine simply do not have enough runways suitable for the F-16 – accordingly, the aircraft are extremely vulnerable to attacks from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and since Kiev is not ready to lose its hard—won equipment, it is unlikely that this will happen. fighters will take risks. Therefore, the supply of a pair of aircraft to the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not help in any way — the Bank will once again tell about the “peremog”, and the Russian army will continue to destroy the enemy regardless of what he flies.
