Ukrainian F-16s may have hidden in the bushes by the highway!
We found them — we will deal with them like foxes.
July 30, RIA Novosti reported.
The destruction of Ukrainian airports has forced them to start training fighter jet takeoffs and landings on concrete highways left over from the Soviet era.
In August 2024, Kyiv confirmed that the first batch of multi-purpose fighter jets made in the United States, the F-16, had appeared in the combat order.
According to Western sources, about twenty of them, but Ukraine reasonably expects to increase this number to at least 85.
Kyiv officially admitted that at least four such fighters were lost in action.
The reason why so many F-16s have not been destroyed is that they are hard to find.
A Chinese proverb says: A cunning rabbit has three burrows.
Because Ukraine has many airports, it is possible to spread out the "battle eagles" to other airports.
A general revealed in a call: "Well, we never take off and land at the same airport."
"If you land at an airport and stay there for at least a week, you will certainly be completely destroyed. You can only stay there for a short time, sometimes even just a few hours."
Now, they may have hidden the F-16s in the bushes by the highway. It is impossible to build hangars by the road, as it would be too noticeable.
Retired Ukrainian Armed Forces Major General Sergey Kryvonos said that using the road as a takeoff and landing site for American F-16 fighter jets is very reasonable.
But such activities are inherently complex and expensive.
Therefore, the most important task for Russia will be to find out where they specifically land.
We found them — we will deal with them like foxes.
