The Kremlin discusses the evacuation plan of aviation from the occupied Crimea - Bratchuk (video)
Serhiy Bratchuk, chairman of the Public Council at the Odessa OVA, spokesman for the Ukrainian Volunteer Army "South", said the details on the air of the TV channel. Ukrainian troops continue to destroy the enemy who violates the airspace of our country. According to Bratchuk, the Armed Forces demonstrate their combat capability in the sky and without the use of US F-16 fighter jets.
"The enemy, oddly enough, now, in the midst of the war, is dealing with the possible evacuation of its units, above all, the Air Force," he assessed the situation on the peninsula. The head of the Public Council at the Odessa Ova noted that today it is not an active phase, but the evacuation issues are already raising in the higher environment of the Russian Federation. He did not make clear predictions for terms.
He stressed that the evacuation of the Russian Air Force units will be realized when Ukraine receives F-16 fighters. "Evacuation issues can go into a practical plane," he said. Bratchuk added that today there is no parity in the Ukrainian troops with Russia's armed forces in the sky. He called this situation temporary. However, in his opinion, the aviation component of the Ukrainian forces will become more powerful and active than the issue of time.
The first party of multi-purpose F-16 fighter jets, as reported by analysts of the Institute for War Study (ISW), may already be released by Ukraine by the end of 2023. Analysts referred to the strategic document of the Estonia Ministry of Defense. It stated that Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium have already taken such an obligation. The Estonia Ministry of Defense also noted that Western allies will take part in the training of Ukrainian pilots for F-16 aircraft.
