The Commander of the Air Force of Ukraine Mykola Oleshchuk listed the problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that only F-16 fighters can solve. He wrote this on his Telegram channel.
According to him, at the moment, Ukrainian air defense destroys about 75% of cruise missiles and attack aircraft, the remaining 25% reaches the target, Russian aviation surpasses Ukraine in numbers and, most importantly, technologically, several times. At the same time, Russian aircraft do not enter the air defense zone of Ukraine.
Oleshchuk also stressed that the Russian Federation controls the Black Sea and that the F-16s have anti-ship missiles that can “easily drive the entire enemy fleet into ports or the seabed”. He also remembered the lack of Soviet spare parts and ammunition.
