F-16s and Ukraine's Security in the Face of Russian Threats
Ukraine's efficiency in using US-made HARM missiles will increase with the operation of F-16 fighter jets, according to Brigadier General Serhii Holubtsov. The F-16s have a special receiver that gives the pilot information on which of the enemy's air defense systems is operating, allowing for the missile to be launched precisely at the operating launcher. The same applies to other weapons, such as "smart" bombs. Holubtsov believes that the Russian military should not relax as Ukraine's Air Force's capabilities and might are increasing by the day.
