Ukrainian F-16s are back on the job: Russian positions along the front are being crushed

[Starmix]

According to the report, the F-16 fighters received from partners are used at 2/3 of their capacity. This was stated on air by aviation expert Valery Romanenko on the " Fabrika Novostey " channel."We received a small number of them, so we use them to perform a limited number of tasks. According to him, F-16s are used where they are effective, primarily for air defense. "They have the best radars that see well against the background of the Earth. They have missiles. At the same time, short-range missiles, cheap and old models, are more than enough to destroy Russian cruise missiles. They have guns that can hit the Shaheds if they rise to an altitude of 3,000 meters. It makes sense to use these planes there, because there is no danger of losing speed, colliding with the ground, or falling.

The report also stated that the aviation expert emphasized that the third advantage of these fighters is their effective onboard defense system. There have been no cases yet of them being shot down by the Russians. Therefore, they are capable of carrying out limited strikes with cruise bombs on Russian positions on the front lines, so as not to receive a missile from Russian anti-aircraft systems themselves and not to expose themselves to a Russian fighter. It is important not to approach circular zones, where, if a missile is launched.
