According to expert Michael Samus, the receipt of fighters will stop the domination of Russian aviation in the air, drive it away from the battlefield and thus neutralize the air support of the Russian troops in both defense and offensive. In the near future, Ukraine plans to receive F-16 fighter jets, which can significantly affect the situation on the front. These aerials are able to change the dynamics of combat and reduce the impact of Russian aviation on the course of military operations.

In this regard, he urges Ukraine to focus attention, in particular, on the development and production of national military equipment. "We have the development of both drones and long -range winged missiles based on the same Neptune missiles that can beat several hundred kilometers on important Russian military facilities.

There is an important scaling , in one wave, and 100 drones. There should be five to six days in a few days, "he said. Samus also added that the use of 500-600 long-range drones to attack key military facilities in Russia can be effective, since air defense systems will not be able to resist such a large-scale plaque. We will remind that Brigade General Alexander Tarnavsky told how the F-16 fighters will affect the situation at the front.
