In a new video of the YouTube project Ukrainian Witness, the unit commander and air defense fighters of the 59th The OMVBR, which operates in the Pokrovsk direction, spoke about Ukraine receiving its first F-16s, NBN reports.
The defenders said that the aviation of the “second army in the world” does not reach their positions; they mainly successfully destroy enemy UAVs “Orlan”, Supercam, etc. At the same time, the fighters would like to have newer weapons to destroy the occupiers' drones, for example, the American self-propelled air defense system Avenger.
The unit commander explained that American F-16 fighters can shoot down targets at a very long distance. In addition, in addition to Western aviation, Kyiv's partners will provide Ukraine with new models of air defense, with which he and his fighters will work in tandem. Therefore, the transfer of modern aircraft to the Armed Forces of Ukraine will colossally change the situation on the front.
Recall that ISW analysts assessed whether the number of F-16s received by the Ukrainian army will be enough to effectively protect the country from air attacks by Putin's army.
