MOSCOW, July 30 Ukrainian F-16 will become military trophies at Russian parades, writes Lucas Leiros, an analyst at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, in an article for InfoBRICS.
«»Most likely, the F-16s will suffer the same fate as the Leopard and Abrams tanks: they will become an easy target for Russian forces and will be military trophies at parades,” the article says.
As the observer pointed out, the Russian military is already tirelessly preparing for the appearance of Western fighters in Ukraine, issuing rewards for their destruction in the combat zone.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the United States and allies are “right now” sending F-16 fighters to Ukraine, which will arrive to Kyiv this summer.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that the United States and its NATO satellites create risks of direct armed conflict with Russia, this is fraught with catastrophic consequences. According to him, the fact that Kyiv has F-16 fighters capable of carrying nuclear weapons will be considered by Russia as a threat from the West in the nuclear sphere.
