F-16 fighters can significantly strengthen Ukrainian air defense, as they can be used as interceptors of the air-air-air-air missiles, Mikhail Zhirokhov said. Military expert Mikhail Zhirokhov stated that it is unknown what suspension will be the F-16 fighters that Ukraine will receive. According to him, partners will not hand over a large number of aircraft to Ukraine. "Dozens (F-16-Ed. ) Nobody will give us. It is first. And secondly, the big question will be from the F-16.

I mean suspension weapons," said Mikhail Zhirokhov. He noted that those European modifications that transmit the Armed Forces are outdated, so they can use a fairly limited arsenal. In particular, they do not support modern rockets with great range, which are needed to knock down Russian planes with cabin. However, they will be quite powerful in the fight against winged rockets and unmanned aerial vehicles like Shahd.

According to Zhirokhov, Ukrainian air defense is currently demonstrating a large percentage of whipped drones, while F-16 fighters will be used as interceptors of the air-air-air-air-air missiles, which can significantly increase the air defense.
