The most powerful Russian SU-57 will not benefit from the F-16: what is the invincibility of fighters

Air combat most often wins the plane that has the advantage of speed, maneuverability and data. The Western Air Force is designed to fight in 30 against one, said US Air Force Colonel Jeffrey Fisher. The most powerful Russian Su-57 fighter will not be able to gain an advantage in the sky by joining the American F-16 aircraft. This was told in an interview with Liga. net a pilot, a US Air Force Colonel Jeffrey Fisher. He noted that comparing only planes is a bad idea.

After all, the Western PSs are designed to fight in 30 against one. "It is not about the F-16 itself, but about many auxiliary objects: on-board AWACS warning and management system, a refueler, a combined radar system for monitoring the goals And Patriot and RLS missiles on Earth. According to him, in real time, the pilot of the American fighter has many untreated data and information before the radar is on. In particular, it is necessary to train a lot for efficient use.

While the Russian Federation has not proved that she had the same capabilities, Fisher said. Russian analogues AWACS-A-50-were knocked down, the enemy is inconvenient to fly due to lack of pictures in the air. However, the Kremlin believes that many boards and missiles "Air-Air", and therefore are supposedly ready to fight. However, Fisher would put the F-16 fighter, because in the aerial combat wins the board that has the advantage of speed, maneuverability and data.

"Even the most powerful Russian SU-57, if it enters the F-16 from a disadvantage, will not be able to gain an advantage in battle," he stressed. In addition, he noted that if he was a member of the A-50 crew, he would not want to go away. In his opinion, it is better to "stimulate the disease or break the leg", because the planes are successfully knocked down by drones and rockets.

Nevertheless, the occupiers are studying, at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, their actions were incompetent, but the war was a good teacher, so it will be harder to knock down A-50. "Ukraine has the advantage. But it is important to continue to punish Russia. Before it can adapt and hit with a new, effective tactic," Jeffrey Fisher added.

We will remind, on June 17 the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Syrsky stated that the Russian Federation is preparing for the fact that Ukrainian fighters will receive fighters F-16. In particular, the enemy realizes that the arrival of the first aircraft will strengthen the Ukrainian air defense, and the enemy's chances of success will decrease. On June 15, the media said that the Armed Forces changed the strategy before the F-16 arrived.
