The analysis, published in the journal National Defense, emphasizes that the Buk-M3 is a versatile air defense weapon of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that can effectively combat various air threats.
The report states that in terms of cross-sectional area (RCS) and speed characteristics, F-16 fighter jets are comparable to fourth-generation Soviet fighters currently used by Ukrainian forces and repeatedly targeted by Buk crews. During the conflict, the Buk crew even managed to shoot down the Su-27 fighter jet of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from maximum range.
