"Patriot they are being driven and spit out": F-16 pilot ridiculed Russian aviation

Moscow, according to Lieutenant Colonel Dan Gampton, is very strong in propaganda. All information about the power of the Russian army proceeds from the Russian Federation itself. F-16 fighter pilot Lieutenant Colonel Dan Gabton said that the Russian Federation would be able to form a shock squadron for blows in Ukraine. Moreover, even if it turned out in Russia, Patriot SAC would be able to destroy hostile planes. Hempton told about it in an interview with Voice of America.

According to the American pilot, he doubts that the Russian Federation now has highly qualified specialists and equipment in order to form a shock aviation group. "If they had these people and this equipment, why didn't they use it a year ago, isn't I? I mean why now?" Said Hampton. He also stated that Moscow was very strong in propaganda. All information about the power of the Russian army proceeds from the Russian Federation itself.

For example, if the shock squadron is formed from bombers, then Ukrainian MiG-29 can handle them. "And do not forget about Patriot, Patriot is being driven and spit out," the pilot said. In addition, the Western F-16 could help Ukrainian forces find Russian bombers at low altitudes. In addition, Gampton stated that in the long run, Ukraine could help the latest F-16 fighters called Block-70. According to the pilot, it is a very powerful plane.

Moreover, in the future, Ukraine could go further to buy the F-35. "So, as soon as the war is over and you can transition from could and SU to Western jet aircraft, such as the F-16, then all this will be possible," Gampton said. It should be noted that earlier the Air Force command was commented on rumors of the possible damage or destruction of Patriot Patriot by the Russian Rocket. According to speaker Yuri Ignat, if the rocket complex was damaged, it will be restored promptly.

He also stated that it is impossible to destroy the Patriot complex with one "dagger". We will remind that on May 23 the media reported that Washington agreed to supply F-16 to Ukraine. Journalists emphasized two factors that played a key role in providing Ukraine with aviation. One of them is the position of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who noted that Russia usually goes to escalation only in words. On May 25, Ramstein countries allocated $ 65 billion to Ukraine for defense.
