🇺🇦 ✈️ Ukraine is preparing ground for strikes on Crimea as F-16 fighter jets arrive, - Business Insider

❗️"A limited number of fighter jets can have a real impact, here and over the Black Sea, which becomes fully available once the air defence problem in Crimea is resolved."

F-16s carrying JDAMs & SDBs can do a lot of damage for very little cost.

If the ruzzian surface to air threat is eliminated, then ruzzia's only option would be Su-35s.

If Su-35s are employed to defend Crimea, then a Patriot trap could easily be achieved.

FYI, @CaptCoronado is a anti-west propaganda account that posts absolute garbage and fantasy. Pro-Russia, Houthi, Hamas, Hezbollah, China, etc.

Of course, Russia would obviously love to get an F-16, even if it is 30 year old tech nearing the end of its airframe life, even if just for the propaganda value. Taking out a trained pilot would be a bonus too.
