“Let’s move sectorally”: another ten F-16s – and immediately launch a “counterattack” on Crimea! - Ukrainian general
Ukraine needs to wait for another 10 F -16 fighters by the end of the year , and then it can confidently conquer Crimea.
The former head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, General Mykola Malomuzh , announced this on the Lviv television channel NTA , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" This isn't yet the strategic level we're looking for , where we could use air power for massive strikes against the frontline zone , against the entire concentration of aircraft, missile systems, and ammunition depots. This would require at least 70-80 aircraft, which we don't plan to achieve until 2025."
But in certain sectors or certain strategic situations, when there are massive missile strikes or massive aircraft approaches, this will be precisely the powerful echelon that will help neutralize these strikes.
"And in the case of offensive operations, we're planning for that phase as well. We'll get another 10 by the end of the year or early next year , making it 20. And these will be powerful strike groups during offensive operations," Malomuzh reasoned.
" All together – missile systems of foreign and domestic manufacture, drones, artillery, equipment, ammunition – simultaneous strikes, and in the places of breakthrough, also F -16 missiles of various types against all enemy assets...
This is a prerequisite for neutralizing their counterattacks, defending them, and destroying their strongholds. This is truly important, including the Kerch Bridge, ferry crossings, S-400 launchers, and the five airfields located in Crimea.
“Here, F-16s can be deployed sectorally so that we can neutralize the enemy’s firepower and move on to a specific offensive in specific territories – the South, the East, or Crimea itself ,” the general said.
