After losing thousands of tanks and soldiers, Putin brags and continues to threaten: we will destroy the F-16s transferred to Ukraine

Ukraine lacks modern fighter jets in its fight against more than two years of Russian aggression. Therefore, countries such as the Netherlands and Denmark will provide Kyiv with F-16 aircraft. Ukrainian pilots are trained, among others, in Romania. The Ukrainian Air Force should begin using the F-16 this year, but when exactly is unclear.

The head of the Kremlin said on Wednesday that the F-16 will not change the military situation.

“We will destroy their planes, as we are now destroying their tanks, armored vehicles and other equipment,” he said.

However, the F-16 can potentially carry a nuclear weapon as well. Therefore, Russia will take this into account when carrying out military planning.

Ukraine does not have nuclear weapons. In 1994, it disposed of the former Soviet atomic weapons that were on its territory. handed over to Russia.

V. Putin has once again justified his war against the neighboring country, arguing that it is the supposed protection of Russians in territories that historically belong to Russia. He called the fears that Russia might attack Europe nonsense. European governments allegedly want to intimidate their citizens in order to “extract money”.
