In the Air Force, they promised that the supply of aircraft will learn from the news about the "first shot down Russian aircraft". The command of the command Yuri Ignat told what modifications the fighters will be. Ukrainians will not be formally announced to obtain the first American fighters of the F-16. On February 24, a spokesman for the Armed Forces Yuri Ignat said in a comment on Channel 24 on February 27. "I even once said that when we get an F-16, we win this war.

First we win the battle in the air, and then the defense forces will be able to liberate the territory. It is clear that it will not be at once: the F-16 squadron came-and all , victory. Yes, "he said. The military said that the F-16 will not be transmitted in Ukraine not the last modification. In addition, the planes will be "used", but their effectiveness can be increased later.

"In the future, there is an opportunity to modernize them: the best avionic, the best board, the best missiles," Ignati explained. He said that the main tasks of the first F-16 will be Ukraine's defense against rocket and drone attacks, as well as the fight against hostile aviation. However, the population, like the enemy, learns about the transmission of aircraft already postfactum. "There will be no official cutting of the tape, as it was in the Soviet Union.

(…) We will find out that the F-16 in Ukraine when the first Russian aircraft will be shot down," the spokesman said. He added that some things are not announced in public not to help the enemy. Recall that Forbes suggested that Ukraine uses rockets for Patriot and NASAMS for punches on Russian fighter jets. The publication warned the risk that the "best air defense missiles" will not be left soon.
