The F-16 is the fourth generation light fighter aircraft and is considered one of the largest aircraft in the world. Despite its maneuverability and ability to carry a large bomb load, the Russian Su-35 and MiG-31 are able to withstand it successfully.
In addition, Russian air defense systems, especially the S-400, can become a serious threat to the F-16.
It is worth noting that American fighters of this model will appear in the arsenal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine not earlier than in the spring of 2024. This is due to the need to train teams and create the appropriate infrastructure.
Recall that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced that 42 F-16 aircraft were received from the Netherlands.
