F-16 fighter jets heading to Ukraine too late? Military source becomes clear. Unlike the Mig-29, the F-16 does not have a cover that prevents small parts from being sucked in.
The planes are an example of the often late deliveries from the West. “We often don’t get the weapon systems when we need them, but only when they are no longer relevant,” is the criticism from the Ukrainian military. Russia has already calculated where the S-400 missile and radar system should best be stationed in order to keep the fighter jets away from the front lines.
