Warzone/The Drive: Ukraine Situation Report: Kyiv Improving Airfields Anticipating Western Fighters
Ukraine’s Air Force spokesman says work is underway to upgrade airfields for Western fighter jets even though none have been promised yet.
Unlike the recent influx of promises for western tanks, Ukraine has yet to receive any solid offers of modern fighter jets from allies like the U.S., France, the Netherlands, Denmark and others. But it’s preparing airfields across the country in anticipation of deliveries of multi-role jets like U.S.-made F-16 Fighting Falcons or French Mirage or Rafale fighters.
To integrate jets like those into the Ukrainian Air Force would not only require training for pilots and maintainers, but it would also require making sure more modern jets have safe places to operate from.
“We have to prepare the airfield infrastructure so that pilots could land safely on the airstrips,” Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Col. Yuri Ignat told reporters Friday at a press briefing in Ukraine. “The works are in progress in different regions of Ukraine with the support of the Ministry of Infrastructure, the Ministry of Defense and other government agencies to support us in the creation of this airfield network.”

WNU Editor: The problem that Ukraine will have if they get deliveries of these fighter jets is that their airfields will only become priority targets for Russian missiles.

Pretty, but that won't last long. One bombing run with cluster bombs and it will look like the freeway around Detroit.
lmao
Russian aircraft wont get that close to cluster bomb it.

That's right....the ghost of Kiev will be there to shoot them all down after he gets more photos of the concentration camps
You are lost
7:31 Dumbass. I feel justified calling you dumbass since you troll.
The nuclear capable bombers Russia has been using to fire missiles at Ukraine have been doing so from a standoff position. Same for the ground attack aircraft.
Recently the Russian lost 3 helos and 2 ground attack craft in one day. I do not see any Russian aircraft flying over Ukrainian territory for long.
Listen zero.
you do not need aircraft to deliver cluster munitions or runway breakers like a JDAM. Missiles do just fine. Or did you manage to forget that one?
But I am sure once the Russians decide to get off their collective ass, you will have more aircraft than you can handle.
Your instance that these airfields will be un-touchable is commendable , but unrealistic. This belief is part of your Ukie Support Derangement Syndrome. (USDS).
Take your meds and stop watching CNN and reading the NYT/WP.
No, I have not forgotten the KH-101s and other crapola. I have not seen any evidence of use of the KH-1010's and other crapola for this.
I have seen people get sick of Russian shit and made sure Russian strategic bomber high tailed it to the far east. Fewer platform to launch the shit. Of course there are other platforms such as warships and subs and Ukraine will hit those too.
Kh101s are having a harder time penetrating Ukrainian air space. Keep dreaming of your cluster bombs cluster fuck.
Just think of the silver lining when the Ukrainian hit the rest of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. Russia will no longer have to treat with Assad in Syria for a naval base in latakia. :)
