Experts in Forbes were told about the prospects for the use of the F-16 during the Russian-Ukrainian war. David E Ex be the F-16 Arsenal Air-Air-Air and Air-Air Bomb, as well as a bomb with accurate guidance, which will allow Ukrainian forces to strike Russian positions in the depth of the occupied territory. But a rocket that can bring the greatest benefit is a two-tone winged invisible Joint Air-To-Surface Strike Missile (Jassm) from Lockheed Martin with a flight range up to 230 miles (370 km).
"(Jassm) is still on the list of Kyiv's wishes. Until the United States approves Jassm's transfer to Ukraine, the Ukrainian F-16 will not fly at full force," the expert said. The publication also states that Ukrainian forces are already using air base missiles, which allow to strike on the rear of Russian invaders, but Storm Shadow and Scalp are not compatible with the F-16. But the F-16 aircraft are compatible with Jassm.
"Expanding the potential of winged missiles can help Kiev in achieving one of the main goals - the liberation of the Crimean peninsula from the nine -year Russian occupation," - says another Rand Corporation analyst Brinn Tannechil. According to him, JASSM fighters on board can achieve the same as the Ukrainian Land for a counter -offensive, but with much less loss for Ukrainians.
