Defense Minister of Ukraine: We need to do something with the airfields, to receive F-16 fighters

Defense Minister of Ukraine: We need to do something with the airfields, to receive F-16 fightersThe Ukrainian Minister of Defense continues to talk about, what military equipment does Ukraine need "to defeat Russia". According to Alexey Reznikov, the question "rests on NATO-style combat aviation". At the same time, the head of the Ministry of Defense made it clear, that in this regard there are many problems, which the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine needs to solve in the near future.

Defense Minister of Ukraine:

We all dream of F-16 fighters, I would dream too. We have every chance, so that our pilots begin to master the modern generation of aircraft. At the same time, Reznikov did not specify, how the F-16 fit into the concept of "modern generation". The 5th generation of combat aviation includes only a few modifications of aircraft in the world. These are American F-22s and F-35s., Chinese J-20 and Russian Su-57.

Reznikov:

There is a certain nuance. We will need to do something with our airfields here.. After that, I think, we will be able to receive aircraft of this class. At the same time, Reznikov did not specify, what exactly needs to be done with airfields. If we talk about creating an appropriate infrastructure for maintenance, gas stations, repairs, operation of weapons suitable for the F-16, then such work can take even months, and the years. Speaking of shelters at Ukrainian airfields for F-16s, then the appearance of new infrastructure facilities at the existing airfields of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will definitely not go unnoticed by Russian intelligence, including military space.

At the same time, in the United States and other countries, where F-16s are operated, have not yet confirmed information about their readiness to supply these fighters for the needs of Ukraine. However, earlier information was, that NATO countries will train Ukrainian pilots to pilot not only the F-16, but also F-15.
