"Will lead to serious loss": F-16 should be a surprise for the Russian Federation-an expert
This opinion was expressed by the former deputy chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Lieutenant General Igor Romanenko, reports "Espresso". The general drew attention to the statement of the speaker of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Colonel Yuri Ignat, who reported that the announcement of the transfer of Ukraine F-16 will not be announced. "The information strategy is already produced, and this is meaningful.
In general, the history of F-16 fighters should be a surprise for the enemy. The Russians are the first to feel the appearance of the F-16 in the Ukrainian sky. After all, the use of such weapons will lead to serious loss of occupation troops," - said Romanenko. According to him, when Western fighters start performing combat missions, then it will be possible to talk about both their approximate number and equipment.
Therefore, all the information on the provision of Western aviation should be taken as "practical steps", the general said. We will remind, on December 22 it became known that the Netherlands prepare the first batch of F-16 fighter jets for reference to Ukraine. As President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported on the same day, a party of 18 cars is prepared for departure.
