report Mehr News Agency, citing Russia Allium, former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter stated that Ukraine had hoped too much for the effectiveness of the F-16 fighter jets, while as soon as they were in the sky They will be targeted by the Russians.
This American expert said: I believe that these fighters will be a curse for Ukraine.
He added: There has been a lot of publicity about these fighters, so that some people believe that with the appearance of these fighters, the balance of war will change and this fighter have the power to change things.
Ritter emphasized: They believe that as soon as F-16 fighters appear on the battlefield, everything will go in favor of Ukraine, but the reality is not like this at all. And the situation will never be like this.
He said: As soon as this fighter appears in the sky of the battle area on the first day, it will be targeted and destroyed by the Russians. Then Ukraine will understand that these fighters are not a magic weapon that will save it.
This stance comes while Western sources announced that F-16 fighter jets will enter the battle in Ukraine in the coming weeks. Ukrainian sources suggested that these fighters will arrive in Ukraine next July.
