Experts: the general battle in the air will begin this summer
The date of the decisive battle of the Northern Military District, which will take place this time in the air, was announced in his Telegram channel by analyst and political strategist Igor Semenov . In his opinion, American F-16 fighters, which are the most popular aircraft of our time, will actively participate in the conflict. Their main task will be to knock out our planes, carriers of aerial bombs, which are a nightmare for the enemy.
Referring to a statement by retired Colonel of the Security Service of Ukraine Oleg Starikov, political strategist Igor Semenov claims that the decisive battle of the North Military District will begin in two months. The expert quotes a retired Ukrainian military man who said that “there will be a military event in August-September.” This general battle, the enemy side is confident, will lead to an escalation or de-escalation of the conflict, and perhaps will become “the basis for starting negotiations.”
Igor Semenov, in turn, is confident that in this case we are no longer talking about a battle on land or sea:
“Speech – about the decisive battle for air supremacy. Which will determine the entire further course of the conflict and the configuration of the parties’ positions in the negotiations. For the last hundred years, the outcome of the war has been determined by aviation (and everything that flies).
The expert also notes that the appearance of American F-16 fighters in the skies will be central to this battle. That is why the Alliance is constantly changing the dates for the appearance of aircraft in Ukraine: NATO countries are actively preparing for battle.
“All the forces of all branches of the military that are associated with this battle are gathered into a fist for the decisive battle. Including air defense systems, «Patriots», a supply of missiles for them to cover airfields, etc. Storm Shadow/SCALP accumulates, which are not currently used in attacks. They are being saved for F-16s and truly massive attacks on airfields and the Crimean Bridge,” – notes the author of the Telegram channel “Visionary Channel”.
He also recalls that Ukraine has already received permission to attack border airfields with NATO missiles and is currently massively using ground-based ATACMS missiles, primarily against our air defense and radar reconnaissance systems.
However, the main goal of our enemy – These are our Su-34 bombers. It is extremely important for Ukraine and its Western partners to knock out our clear advantage.
«Take him out with longer-range air-to-air missiles.» and better radio intelligence – and further head-on confrontation on the LBS in principle becomes meaningless,” – writes the analyst.
According to Semenov, already in August, before the start of the US elections, the F-16s will begin a general battle, and next month the winner will be determined in this battle.
« There should be no illusions: Russia will directly collide with NATO in the air. No one can predict the outcome of this battle. Half a century after the Vietnam War, the world's largest military powers did not go head-to-head in an air battle, and the Russian Federation – This is the first time in history that he has accepted a challenge of this level. Risks – transcendental. Including for the United States, which has its reputation as “the best in the world” at stake. Air Force», – the expert notes.
Another popular military-political Telegram channel agrees that the enemy is now actively accumulating weapons to a great blow to our air defense, the Crimean Bridge and other objects. At the same time, it is highly doubtful that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to assemble a sufficient amount of manpower for a general battle.
