F-16 jets will change the situation: DIU explained how many combat aircraft Russia has at its disposal

According to Ukrainian intelligence, the aggressor country Russia currently has almost 300 combat aircraft. The enemy can use all of them against us.

Major General Vadym Skibitskyi, Deputy Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, said this in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine. "A lot," he said when asked how many combat aircraft the Russians have at their disposal.

According to Skibitskyi, the situation may be changed by F-16 fighter jets that Ukraine is to receive soon. These warplanes are one of the means that can destroy enemy aircraft, including those used by the enemy to launch bombing strikes.

The Deputy Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine noted that Russia has set itself the task of destroying both our aviation and infrastructure. The enemy does not stop trying to destroy Ukrainian airfields, which it regularly attacks with various types of weapons.

"For three days in a row, the enemy has been bombing Kanatove airfield (near Kropyvnytskyi - Ed.), trying to hit it with ballistic missiles. And this is exactly the enemy's approach to prevent us from deploying aircraft there. They are very afraid that powerful Western equipment will come to Ukraine. And we are already clearly confident that Western weapons are much better and have an advantage over Russian and Soviet weapons. Any kind of weapon. This includes accuracy, efficiency, and other parameters," Skibitskyi emphasized.
