Forbes: Kiev will lose F-16 fighters immediately after being put into combat

The American magazine Forbes reports that the armed forces of Ukraine will lose the F-16 aircraft, which Ukraine will receive from Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway along with the pilots, immediately after the aircraft enters the fleet in combat.

Currently, Ukraine is powerless to counter Russian aerial bombs. The country lacks missile systems and anti-aircraft launchers, its ex-Soviet fighters do not have the power to defeat Russian glide bombs; Therefore, it seems that Ukraine has no luck to confront Russia even by receiving the American fighter F-16.

As soon as Ukraine gets them (F-16s) into combat in the coming weeks or months, it will lose them – probably a lot of them.

Earlier, Admiral Rob Bauer, the head of NATO’s military committee, said that the American F-16 fighters, which the Western partners have promised to transfer to Kiev, will not be able to fly if spare parts are not provided in time. . Alexey Leonkov, a Russian military expert, also told RIA Novosti: “The supply of American F-16 fighters from the fleets of various NATO countries to Kyiv will not change the balance of forces on the front, and the training of Ukrainian pilots is very long and expensive for European countries.”

Russia believes that sending weapons to Ukraine will not lead to the country’s defeat, but will directly involve NATO countries in this war, and this action is “playing with fire”. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any shipment containing weapons for Ukraine would become a legitimate target for Russia. According to him, the United States and NATO are directly involved in this conflict, including not only by supplying weapons, but also by training personnel in England, Germany, Italy and other countries. The Kremlin stated that pumping Ukraine with weapons from the West will not help the negotiations and will have a negative effect. For Europe, war against Russia is inevitable.
