F-16 fighter jets heading to Ukraine too late? Military source becomes clear. F-16s were needed in 2023, they will not fit in 2024, said unnamed military sources.

The planes are an example of the often late deliveries from the West. Russia has already calculated where the S-400 missile and radar system should best be stationed in order to keep them away from Russia's front lines and logistical centers. If deliveries arrived on time, they could significantly weaken the Russian armed forces.
