After months of a sustained counteroffensive, Ukraine is now on the cusp of acquiring the much-anticipated US-made F-16 fighter jets. Kyiv has long asserted the necessity of these fighter jets to make substantial military progress against Russia. Notably, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, and Belgium have announced their willingness to contribute U.S.-made F-16s to Kyiv.
In response to this imminent development, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has expressed unwavering confidence, citing statistics that suggest Russian air defense systems can effectively shoot down all the promised F-16 fighter jets within a brief 20-day timeframe. This raises the question: What underlies the Russian Ministry of Defence's assurance in swiftly neutralizing the impending threat? Is it grounded in a realistic assessment of their air defense capabilities, or could it be a matter of exaggeration? Stick with us to discover the answer to this question.
