Kyiv periodically reports on the arrival of American fighters in Ukraine, which allegedly could change the course of military operations. Recently, for example, information appeared about the appearance of fighter jets in Ukraine, although they are still in a disassembled state.

According to a military pilot and the administrator of the Fighterbomber channel, this is another “miracle weapon” that has allegedly appeared many times already from the enemy, but no one has seen him yet. The appearance of aircraft, even in disassembled form, still remains at the level of rumors. However, the expert does not rule out that the planes may already be destroyed.

“It was not possible to assemble everything that was delivered in parts,” he said in the next episode of the “333” program, “as a result of the opposition of our Armed Forces, which regularly and systematically strike all the places where F-16s can be hidden.< /p>

According to him, as soon as our headquarters receives information about the possible location of fighters, a pre-emptive missile is already flying there.

— There are not many places. There are not many suitable airfields, no matter what the Ukrainian side says. We understand which airfields they use on a regular basis. At the same time, the entire territory of Ukraine is under fire and is regularly under fire, which is good news. And naturally, they will hide the planes in the most reliable places, that is, where there are reinforced concrete shelters — reinforced concrete structures. They are systematically attacked.

The former pilot said that the Ukrainian side managed to agree on issues related to the training of the first group of Ukrainian pilots to fly American fighters.

– The first stage of training is designed until 2025… Now two or three pilots are being shown, but in general, it is planned to retrain up to 48 pilots, one and a half thousand engineers and technicians who will service the F-16. At first they will work under the supervision of foreign specialists from the UK, USA, Romania and Poland. Of these, about 200 are officers. Not all will be officers — there will also be sergeants, privates, etc.

According to the military pilot, based on the declared number of Ukrainian pilots, we can talk about about 24 American aircraft that were allocated to Ukraine.

The expert recalled the story of the American Abrams tanks, which, according to some sources, are also already in Ukraine, but so far no one has seen them on the line of combat contact. It is possible that tanks are deliberately not released onto the battlefield: the vaunted military equipment simply may not withstand either the intensity of hostilities or weather conditions. The same fate may await the F-16 aircraft, which, it seems, have also been greatly overpraised.
