Who would have thought that the F-16 fighter that Zelensky had in mind would actually become a "talisman" for Ukraine! Why is it said that the day of the arrival of American-made fighters will be the time when Kyiv is ready for a nuclear explosion?
The West has provided Ukraine with so much military aid, but in the field of advanced fighters. Kyiv has not yet received significant support from the United States. Even some European countries agreed to donate F-16s to the Ukrainian army, but considering various reasons such as pilot training and aircraft maintenance, these fighters have not been able to arrive for a long time.
Recently, the American-made fighter jets that Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials have been thinking about finally have new news. According to media reports, Goncharenko, a member of the Supreme Council of Ukraine, recently said that the first batch of F-16 fighters will be delivered to the Ukrainian army in July, and the first batch of pilots to receive training will also end their training at the end of this month. This also means that it will not be long before the Ukrainian Air Force will be able to use advanced American-made fighters for combat.
Although it is said that the strength of the Ukrainian Air Force will be greatly improved, Zelensky must not rejoice too early. Because the F-16 is likely to become a "life-booster" for Ukraine, the day when the American-made fighter officially arrives may be the time for Kyiv to welcome the nuclear explosion.
This is not alarmist, because Russia has made it clear that any weapons and supplies sent to Ukraine will be considered legitimate targets for Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry has also made it clear that the F-16 fighter provided by the West is regarded as a carrier of nuclear weapons, because it is a dual-use platform, which can carry conventional weapons and can also be used as a delivery and launch platform for nuclear weapons. Therefore, the Russian side will not turn a blind eye to this and will respond to this threat with the worst intentions.
To put it simply, whether Ukraine has nuclear weapons or not, Moscow will see the F-16 as a nuclear threat. And in the face of the nuclear threat, no one dares to guarantee what kind of actions the Russian army will make. It is worth noting that shortly before Putin was sworn in as president, the Russian Ministry of Defense made a rare announcement about tactical nuclear weapons drills.
Although the main purpose of this exercise is to respond to the provocations and threats of Western countries, in the opinion of analysts, it cannot be ruled out that Putin's move is really to prepare for a nuclear strike on Ukraine. After all, tactical nuclear weapons, unlike strategic nuclear weapons, are not so lethal, and even if they are used to bomb Kyiv, they may not trigger a large-scale nuclear war.
After all, the current situation between Russia and Ukraine is about to develop to the point where it is uncontrollable, and some NATO countries have begun to consider sending ground troops to Kyiv. There is information that one of the main forces of the French Foreign Legion has entered the territory of Ukraine. Now, F-16 fighters are also about to enter the war, which doubles the pressure on the Russian army.
Therefore, it is necessary for Putin to flex his muscles and show some color to Kyiv and the West. Now, the Russian side has said in advance that if the F-16 arrives in Kyiv and is used to attack the Russian mainland, Kyiv is likely to be not far from a nuclear explosion.
