F-16s not a guaranteed victory in Ukraine war, warns top US general.
TL;DR Summary
The Pentagon will not drop its objections to sending F-16 jets to Ukraine, despite President Biden authorizing the training of Kyiv’s pilots on the aircraft last week. Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reiterated it was more sensible to first offer weapons such as NASAMS air-defense and Patriot missile systems to prevent Russia from dominating the skies. Milley cautioned that adding the aircraft to Ukraine’s arsenal will not instantly settle the 15-month-long war. The US has not yet committed to directly sending Ukraine F-16s, but other NATO allies may offer them to Ukraine.
