Transfer of F-16 to Ukraine: what will be the pilots’ primary target

The targets of the F-16s will be Russian airfields, including Shaykovka and Engels, with strategic aviation.

Anatolii Khrapchynskyi, deputy CEO of a company that produces electronic warfare equipment and an aviation expert, said this on the air of KYIV24.

"Next in line are warehouses or manufacturers of aviation bombs – “Arsenal 53”, located 600 kilometers away, the “Raduga” plant, the “Avangard” plant - these are in Moscow region. It is clear that Moscow region is saturated with air defense systems... Therefore, we can talk about most of the airfields located near Ukraine. These are the airfields where Su-34s are based, for example, in the Kuban, Rostov region. So, all these strategic airfields are vulnerable to Ukraine's attacks," Khrapchynskyi explained.
