Ukraine Needs F-16s To Stop Russian Glide Bombs
Ignat told reporters that the Ukrainian air force is preparing for such challenges.
"Our pilots are ready to set off for training on the new type of aircraft," he said."We understand that it will probably be F-16s, but if—or when—the decision is taken, our pilots will immediately set off for that country to train on the new aircraft. "What's going on for the time being is training in foreign language and improvement of different skills. It's not only about the pilots, but also the command officers and maintenance teams.
"We have homework to be done. I'm talking about the preparation of infrastructure which will be a better fit for accepting the Western types of aircraft, the shelters for the material, the new communication systems and so on." There has been an uptick in Russian airstrikes as Kyiv prepares for its counteroffensive. This week, two salvos of Russian missiles were fired at Ukrainian cities, killing two people and wounding 40. Kyiv said 15 of 18 missiles launched were shot down. One strike on the city of Pavlograd in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast is believed to have ignited a rocket fuel storage site."They try to destroy what they need to destroy the most: Western material," he said.
