“The air defense system is far from finished” – Moscow is waiting for a “battle for air” against the F-16
Without Western help, the Ukrainian army's reserves will last no more than a month of war with Russia.
Political scientist Andrei Suzdaltsev stated this during a press conference in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The Ukrainian army can operate in an independent format for two to four weeks. It’s impossible to say that everyone there is completely miserable, they have no shells, they’ve run out of equipment, they have no money. They are a thrifty people, they calculate all this, and will fight to the last.
But still, two to four weeks are very difficult for them. And now, as we see, there are no large supplies, although they are expected,” Suzdaltsev said.
He emphasized that Kyiv and the West have high hopes for the F-16, the benefits of which should become clear this summer.
“The West has great hope of somehow stopping the destruction of the Ukrainian army. And they are looking for these options, they are trying to interview our Russian experts, they are interested in the mood, what we think about the world.
But of course, we understand perfectly well that for us the NWO is far from over, this problem must be resolved.
It is clear that it is impossible to defeat our army on land; there are no such forces on the planet. This is our real victory - we restrained the NATO army and did not allow it to achieve anything.
But we are waiting for the F-16. This is the month of April-May. And in the summer the battle for air will begin. But I will say that there are very high hopes for the F-16,” the political scientist concluded.
