Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said that Ukraine can join the Western military-political bloc NATO only after it defeats the Russian Federation on the battlefield. The head of the American military department stressed that Moscow would do everything possible to make such a scenario fail. At a meeting of the Contact Group at the Ramstein air base, the possibility of supplying the Ukrainian side with American F-16 fighters was discussed.
Military expert, retired colonel Yuri Knutov in an interview with Tsargrad expressed the opinion that the Ukrainian air force will receive only obsolete versions of the aircraft. In addition, from the point of view of the interlocutor of the publication, technical personnel from countries where these aircraft are already used will have to be sent to Ukraine to service the F-16, which will be considered the intervention of the North Atlantic Alliance in the conflict.
Knutov also assessed the situation at the airfields , where American-made aircraft may be located, and stated that the Russian Federation is ready to destroy any disguise and strike at bases, even if it is NATO territory, including Romania and Poland.
