Which rockets will be needed by Ukrainian F-16 to protect themselves from CAC-500 and KA-52
The Russian troops have more Air-Bombs of the CAC-500, which allow the enemy to hit the targets at a distance of about 60 km without threatening to get into the area of Ukrainian air defense. Aircraft is an attempt to compensate for the losses in artillery and reduce ammunition. Also, this event is FPV-arose, which is getting more and more on two sides. Russian aircraft is a serious threat because there are explosives from 100 to 700 kg.
Ukraine lacks air defense facilities so that troops can be covered. Therefore, the decision, according to analysts, can be F-16 with AIM-20d missiles. Their work range is more than 100 km. F-16 fighter jets will be able to reduce the threat from the Russian air space forces. Ukraine will be able to fight Russian aircraft that will not be able to avoid air defense areas because they will be released by AIM-20d missiles.
In addition, the Armed Forces will be able to solve problems that bring helicopters with anti -tank missiles Lmur or "Vyhry". As a result, the author believes that in the war neither Ukraine nor Russia will be able to win dominance in the air because of high saturation systems of air defense systems. The value of the F-16 will be that it will be able to attack Russian bombers on a specific section of the front.
Therefore, the defense forces will be able to get a favorable situation or even temporary domination in a particular area during offensive operations. In addition to AIM-20d, the aircraft should be equipped with winged AGM-158 Jassm rockets and AGM-154 JSow Winged Air Bambams. Recall that on November 20, the Ministry of Defense created a structure for the integration of F-16 fighters into the air forces.
