The post of the military was published in the morning of November 2. The author points out that at night the border of Ukraine and Poland crossed the trucks, which carried two disassembled F-16 fighters. According to him, the Armed Forces already have five aircraft 4 generations capable of resisting Russian aviation. The contributor reassured his readers as to whether there was a danger to the Army of the aggressor country.

He tried to convince that the 4-generation F-16 Falcon fighter was not a "shotgun". However, he acknowledged that the aircraft has AIM-20d ​​missiles capable of reaching the Russians at a distance of 180 km. According to the author of the post, the F-16 is "ordinary technique" that will destroy the Russian Mig-30 and A-50. The Ukrainian military command did not report the F-16 aircraft.

It should be noted that the Air Force spokesman Yuri Ignat said that Ukraine will receive F-16 fighters not earlier than spring 2024. According to him, the first party will have six such aircraft. Meanwhile, in the summer, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited several EU countries, trying to gather a "aircraft coalition".

The head of the state managed to obtain assurances from Denmark, Romania, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, as well as the United States that planes will only need to teach Ukrainian pilots. In September-October, it became known about the arrival of the first Ukrainian pilots, which began training on F-16 aircraft.

Meanwhile, on November 1, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoig said that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation had already destroyed 37 Armed Forces and easily cope with the F-16. This statement was answered at the Ministry of Defense: it was emphasized that it was a "fiction", which is reminiscent of similar reports of "Kiev for three days". Military experts noted the importance of obtaining F-16 fighters to support the Armed Forces.

It was indicated that thousands of pieces were released, so they will be enough for combat. In addition, the article of the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny, published on November 1, 2023, emphasizes that Ukraine needs to have modern aviation to gain an advantage in the war with the Russian Federation.
