The Armed Forces of Ukraine explained the importance of the F-16 for Ukraine

Such aircraft are needed primarily to protect against Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and critical infrastructure.

The F-16 fighters are needed by Ukraine to protect against Russian rocket attacks on cities and critical infrastructure. This was said in an interview on Channel 24 by Yuri Ignat, a representative of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to him, the Air Force should focus on a single type of multi-purpose aircraft, and the F-16 is the most common aircraft of its class in the world that meets the needs of Ukraine.

“We need such aircraft especially to protect against Russian terrorist missile attacks on our cities and critical infrastructure. They will be a significant part of the overall air defense,” Ignat said.

The spokesman noted that MiG and Su aircraft cannot effectively shoot down cruise missiles and Iranian drones. Occasionally it succeeds, but this is the exception rather than the rule. The F-16, on the other hand, has a powerful radar, modern missiles will make it possible to shoot down these targets effectively.

F-16 fighters are available in several countries, now being re-equipped with newer aircraft. However, as Ignat recalled, the permission to transfer F-16s from any country must be given by the United States, even if they do not transfer their aircraft.

The representative of the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that the issue of the transfer of fighters is not easy. It takes a lot of time and a lot of approvals, but there are already some changes.

“Our partners are consistent. I think Ukraine will have powerful wings that will help us save as many lives as possible and remove the occupation of our lands,” Ignat summed up.

It was previously reported that Ukraine’s allies could transfer F-16 fighters and long-range weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces at a decisive turning point in the war with Russia.
