The war of the Russian Federation is doomed to failure: the famous F-16 pilot evaluated the supply of Ukraine aviation
She is convinced that Ukrainian defenders will be able readiness to use Western equipment in the fight against the occupiers. Penny told about this in an interview with Radio Liberty, published on May 30. She confessed that she was watching carefully at the events in Ukraine and believes that the issue of giving Kiev combat aviation was late even for a month , and for years. Western partners, according to Penny, had to resolve this issue immediately after Russia's military aggression began.
According to Major, Ukraine's fighting is now in Ukraine, so combat aviation is capable of preventing war on exhaustion. "I am encouraged by the news that the US administration and our European allies, albeit late, have undertaken to provide Ukraine with advanced military aviation. I sincerely believe it will be of great importance if the supply happens in time, "Penny said.
According to her, F-16 fighters were specifically created for the European combat theater and have sufficient potential capable of radically changing the dynamics of fighting. However, at the same time from Ukrainian Pilots will need flexibility-they should not act "under the copier" of Western pilots, but find original decisions to help the Armed Forces more effective than with the presence of Soviet samples.
"F-16 is first and foremost a universal platform, which is what allowed the aircraft to live Such a long life, undergoing modification, "Penny said. Of course, the Ukrainian military will have to face many difficulties in both training and technical support for Western fighters. But this is compensated by the F-16 capabilities that are able to effectively perform tasks during the day.
In addition, they are provided with advanced data sensors and data channels, have excellent flight characteristics and relatively simple in management. "I agree that the maintenance, maintenance and operation of the fourth-generation fighters are more difficult because they are more perfect . . . It is easy to fly on the F-16. Reading information, the interaction of the pilot with avionica and the system of weapons on this aircraft is intuitive.
Ukrainian pilots will gradually From the habits developed during the flights on Soviet fighters and acquire new ones, "Penny said. Finally, she emphasized that the war was solved against Ukraine is Putin's scam, which was doomed to failure. The Russian leader will not only not be able to conquer all Ukraine, but will also face the fierce resistance of Ukrainians in the occupied territories that will fight to the latter.
