Major-General Sergey Krivonos predicted the great loss of the Armed Forces in offensive without F-16 (video)

The former NSDC Deputy Secretary believes that there is a sufficient amount of aviation in the Ukrainian troops, because without modern fighter jets and offensive operations, it is not easy to conduct offensive operations. The offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine may be unsuccessful if there is not enough aviation. In an interview with the Kurban Live YouTube channel, this opinion was expressed by Major General Sergey Krivonos, a former NSDC Deputy Secretary.

According to him, it is necessary to wait for the appearance of sufficient aviation in the Ukrainian troops, because without modern fighter jets and storms, offensive operations are not easy. According to him, it is better to pause and wait for the planes. "It will be horror to step without aviation support," he said. Sergey Krivonos noted that Ukraine has significantly increased its capacity for land offensive operations.

The air component is still not very developed, so significant losses are possible. "It is better to delay this situation, it is even better to prepare and wait for aviation," Krivonos said. The former NSDC Deputy Secretary added that the potential of the Russian army cannot be underestimated. The Russian Federation has enough resources that other invaders can use. Instead, Ukraine has problems with weapons and ammunition that still need to be solved.

"And the Russians have opportunities for the offensive - they have all the forces and means," Krivonos said. We will remind, on May 30 the famous F-16 pilot evaluated the supply of Ukraine aviation. According to Major in retirement, Guezer Penny, the F-16 was specifically created for the European combat Theater. This fighter can radically change the dynamics of battles, but Ukrainian pilots will need flexibility, and they should not act "under the copier" of Western colleagues.
