As reported by “NBN” with a link According to The New York Times, several high-ranking American military officials are confident that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were unlikely to be to blame for the crash of the above-described F-16, which occurred on August 26.
In particular, the cause of the crash of this F-16 was clearly not the introduction of “friendly fire” from the Patriot complex, and both American and Ukrainian investigators are inclined to consider various versions: it is believed that there was a mechanical malfunction of the systems on board the fighter, and erroneous actions by the pilot.
However, Kyiv classified its F-16 program, since both the aircraft and the pilots are too valuable targets for the army Putin.
In addition, according to domestic military analysts, it is too early to talk about the prerequisites that provoked the plane crash. However, Western air defense systems and F-16 fighters have never worked together in such difficult conditions as were observed during the massive attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine on Monday, August 26.
Earlier, we wrote about why the United States refused to send its technical personnel to service the F-16 in Ukraine.
