US F-16 fighter jets will be destroyed if handed over to Kiev.
US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis said this in an interview with the YouTube channel Judging Freedom.
“The F-16 is not an invisible plane, it can be spotted, it is extremely vulnerable to both Russian S-300, S-400, as well as MiG-31 and Su-35,” he was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
Davis noted that the F-16s “will be destroyed in the same way as the Ukrainian MiG-29s.”
Earlier, European diplomacy chief Josep Borrell said that a number of EU countries, including Poland, started training Ukrainian pilots to operate the F-16 fighters.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova described the F-16 deliveries to Kiev as a new stage in the escalation of the conflict.
