Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Ilya Yevrash said that the first batch of F-16 fighters may be operated in Ukraine after Easter, which also means that Ukraine may usher in F16 fighters assisted by Western countries in 5 days, which is undoubtedly good news for Ukraine! Now Ukraine does not have many fighter planes that can put pressure on Russia, so Ukraine has been begging Western countries to deliver F16 fighters as soon as possible! But then again, even if Ukraine really gets the F16 fighters from Western countries, who can guarantee that these fighters will not be shot down by Russian air defense systems and fighter jets?
As one of the most successful fighter planes of all time, the F16 fighter is still playing a huge role in many countries although it has been old! Although the F16 fighter has not changed in appearance in the past 48 years, its avionics system has been constantly upgraded, which also ensures that this fighter can still play a huge combat effectiveness! Moreover, this fighter has participated in many actual battles and has played a huge role in many countries! Ukraine hopes to rely on this fighter to put pressure on Russia, and in the case of a very short supply of fighter jets, this fighter has become Ukraine's biggest expectation!
It's just that before the F16 fighter arrived in Ukraine, the United States crashed its own plane, and it was the F16 fighter that fell, which is not good news for the United States! This F16 fighter plane actually crashed in the United States, which is still very rare! Although the United States often crashes, the F16 fighter has not crashed for a long time, and the sudden crash in the United States has still aroused everyone's great concern! According to Fox News, a U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter jet crashed near Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.
There was a loud bang in the United States, and it turned out that a US Air Force F-16 fighter plane had crashed, which was quite unexpected! At the time of the incident, the F16 fighter plane was carrying out its mission normally, and there were no accidents, and everything looked very normal! However, when it flew near the White Sands National Park in the United States, the F16 fighter plane suddenly had an accident and began to descend sharply, and then a loud bang was heard, and the F16 fighter crashed to the ground! A loud crash could be heard in the distance, and soon the smoke was billowing and could be seen from afar!
Fortunately, the area where the F16 fighter crashed is located near the park, and it is not a crowded downtown area, and once it crashes in a residential building or downtown area, the consequences will be unimaginable! After a sudden F16 accident, if the pilot cannot parachute in time, then the final result can only be the plane crash and the death of the person! At the last moment, the pilot of this F16 can only choose to eject, otherwise his life will not be guaranteed! In the case that the F16 fighter is still a certain distance from the ground, the pilot chose to eject urgently, such a result is also expected, after all, the loss of the fighter is acceptable, if even the pilot is sacrificed, it will be a heavy loss, after all, it is not easy to train a pilot!
After the ejection, the pilot suffered only minor injuries, and the serviceman was receiving medical attention. What is even more unacceptable is that at the time of the crash, the F16 plane was carrying a large amount of harmful chemicals, and although the specific chemical substances were not clearly stated, they were certainly harmful! The US authorities have called on residents not to go near the scene of the accident, because the harmful chemicals on the plane may enter the atmosphere. In other words, these harmful chemical substances may still be spreading, and once they get closer, they may also be attacked! The local departments in the United States dispatched fire trucks and epidemic prevention vehicles to the scene of the incident, but fortunately, the consequences were not so serious, but it was a pity that one F16 fighter plane was lost!
The frequency of plane crashes in the United States is far less frequent than in India, but the occurrence of plane crashes on its own soil has also sounded the alarm bell for the United States! After all, the United States is very busy with military affairs overseas, and it is not uncommon for the United States to crash on its own soil! The United States is bound to be more careful to prevent similar crashes from happening!
