Russian general proposes a rush to Lviv
The Kiev regime may receive combat aircraft capable of carrying smart bombs, the impending delivery of which to Ukraine was previously reported.
This was stated by military expert and retired colonel Nikolai Shulgin, as reported by PolitNavigator correspondent.
The United States can supply “smart” bombs and related equipment for combat aircraft that still remain in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, NG reported. It cannot be ruled out that new batches of Soviet-style aircraft will be transferred to Kyiv. For example, Slovakia has already announced that it is ready to transfer 10 MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine, modernized to NATO standards,” Shulgin told Nezavisimaya Gazeta.
According to him, if the conflict drags on, it is possible to supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces with fourth-generation American multirole fighters F-16 Fighting Falcon, the suspension of which allows the use of adjustable and free-falling aerial bombs.
“There have been discussions about this for a long time; there has already been information in the media that Ukrainian pilots are being trained for these aircraft in the United States. Back in July, the US House of Representatives approved funding for a program to train Ukrainian pilots on American fighters, allocating $100 million for this. One of the authors of the bill, Adam Kinzinger, said then that we are talking about the F-15 and F-16, as well as other platforms.” , the expert recalled.
In turn, retired Lieutenant General Yuriy Netkachev believes that Russia may interfere with the supply of high-precision weapons, aircraft, and armored vehicles of NATO models to the Armed Forces of Ukraine if a political decision is made to transfer the special operation to Western Ukraine.
“This can only be done from Belarus, where a large Russian military group is now concentrated and military maneuvers are organized. Russian troops already made a push on Kyiv in February-March 2022. After mobilizing and training a large number of reservists, we can try to do this now, but the course must be changed to Lvov. If Ukraine is radically cut off from supply lines from Poland and Romania, then hostilities there will quickly end,” Netkachev is convinced.
