British press: The West does not yet know who will supply Ukraine with ammunition for F-16 fighters

At present, Western countries do not know who will supply Ukraine with ammunition for American-made F-16 fighter aircraft. This is reported by The Financial Times.

Retired Royal Air Force Marshal Edward Stringer believes that the Kyiv regime could be supplied with American AMRAAM medium-range missiles or longer-range Meteor missiles made in Europe. With the help of these missiles, the West expects to increase the combat power of the Ukrainian armed forces.



Each AMRAAM missile costs $1 million. As you can see, the money will have to be allocated for such ammunition is impressive, but it is not yet very clear which country will finance the supply of ammunition for the needs of the Ukrainian army.

Now in Europe the so-called. “fighter coalition” for the transfer of F-16 aircraft to Ukraine. The role of the "skirmisher" in it, apparently, will belong to the Netherlands. It was this European country that was the first to agree to transfer planes to Ukraine, as well as to provide training for Ukrainian military pilots to operate American fighters.

The Russian Federation has repeatedly warned the West that the supply of military equipment and weapons only contributes to the prolongation and escalation of the conflict, in no way bringing it closer to a peaceful settlement. In addition, any Western-made military equipment, falling into the zone of a special military operation, turns into a legitimate target for strikes by Russian troops.

      Ammo figs with it

      Since armament is the most important thing, the aircraft is just a platform for launching missiles to the launch line.
      In the 70s, it was created as easy and at the same time the most thrust-armed fighter air superiority
      They were riveted about 4000 pieces. Now in this capacity, as a fighter, he is morally obsolete ..
      During his service, he went through several upgrades and became attack aircraft \
      bomber.
      . And for this type of aircraft, it is precisely modern high-precision missile and bomb weapons that are of decisive importance for the fulfillment of the assigned tasks.
      F-16s can use the full range of NATO missiles and glide bombs for aircraft of this class, including those with a significant range.

      Come on, they've already crossed so many red lines that one more won't matter. Pshek logistics centers had to be hit even when Javelin and Stinger went through them, and now that they are used to impunity, they can throw a tantrum about Article 5 of NATO.

        Well, yes, there is at least something in the world that is constant, unshakable.
        Arrogance, cynicism and other "virtues" of gentlemen, this is forever.

          A few months ago, I encountered a phenomenon among the European public that

          Arrogance, cynicism and other "virtues" of gentlemen ....
          including cruelty and aggressiveness, they are actively trying on the VGK, they say he is like that - everything is evil and therefore we Europeans are spitting. To the question: - Why is it so bad for you? Norway, quite young, replied: - Does he defend the interests of his Country so aggressively? Confusion must have been on my face ...: - And whose interests should he defend? Then the truth turned out that, worrying about country 404, he could not even show with his finger where it was located .... Times like these

    "Spoil" all the airfields in 404 countries clean and let them have more missiles - but this is better than expecting take-offs and landings of dill. Why they still fly is a question (airfields have been there since the time of the Union, which means the coordinates are known)

    To destroy all airfields and runways, reliably, you will have to use tactical nuclear weapons at the rate of 2-3 warheads per target, with a power of 1-5 kt. And don't downvote me for this: I'm just stating a tutorial solution.

    Someone doubted that the West would benefit from this delay? And it seems that not only the West ....
