According to the officer of the 59th OMB named after Yakov Handziuk and Serhii Tsehotskyi, the Ukrainian military has already felt the lateral support of the F-16 fighter jets received from its partners on the front line.
Points of attention
- Ukraine strategically deploys F-16 fighter jets to provide lateral support to its Armed Forces at the front line.
- The secrecy surrounding the capabilities of F-16s is crucial in preventing the enemy, specifically the Russian Federation, from understanding and preparing for potential attacks.
- By not revealing the full combat potential of the F-16s, Ukraine maintains a strategic advantage over its adversaries and keeps the enemy constantly misled and outwitted.
- Certain equipment was deliberately removed from the F-16 aircraft during demonstrations to avoid publicity that could benefit the Russian occupiers.
- Experts emphasize the importance of maintaining secrecy around F-16 capabilities to ensure that neighboring countries do not fully comprehend the aircraft's potential and remain unprepared for its capabilities.
What is known about Ukraine's engagement of F-16s to support the Armed Forces at the front
On the air of the Kyiv-24 channel, Tsehotsky noted that F-16s are already working on the front line.
Ukraine does not disclose the full combat potential of the received F-16s
According to the expert on aviation, deputy director of the Ukrainian company of EW manufacturers Anatoly Khrapchynskyi, certain equipment was removed in advance from the F-16s shown by the leadership of Ukraine, received from partners, so that the Russian occupiers could not learn about the full potential of these aircraft.
He emphasized that there is a certain secrecy, so that the enemy does not understand all the capabilities of these aircraft and does not have the opportunity to prepare in a certain way.
