British experts told The Independent that the Ukrainian army has reached a stalemate after the summer counteroffensive, and that the supply of F-16s will not help change the situation on the battlefield.
As experts mentioned, The United States should begin transferring F-16 fighters to the Ukrainian Armed Forces in 2024, but it will be difficult to conquer the air with these aircraft alone due to the fact that the Russian Aerospace Forces operate in the region.
Their level of development is high and well organized.
“You really need air superiority to have the opportunity to conduct large-scale maneuvers,” says Patrick Burry, one of the analysts involved in the research.
