The F-16 aircraft that Ukraine will receive will most likely be used either exclusively in defense or in very high-risk operations, according to Bloomberg with reference to American pilots who flew these fighters in combat.
"The F-16s that will be sent to Ukraine will likely have a shorter radar and missile range than the most advanced Russian aircraft and air defenses. This means that the Ukrainians may have to reduce their stated expectations that the F-16 will allow them to establish air superiority, shoot down cruise missiles and the latest enemy aircraft, destroy manpower and artillery on the battlefield, and even sink the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation.”

The scale of the latest air attack on Ukraine may indicate that the occupiers have received a new batch of kamikaze drones from Iran, the spokeswoman for the Operational Command "South" Nataliya Humenyuk said.
To shoot down kamikaze drones, which the occupiers used to attack Ukraine that night, aviation was brought in, said the spokesman of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Yuriy Ignat.
"Air defense is working in one place, mobile groups are in another. Fighters can work in those areas where there are fewer air defense assets. They can take off quickly, react quickly, and destroy UAVs," the spokesman said.
Currently, MiG-29 and Su-27 aircraft are flying into the sky for such purposes, which, as Ignat noted, cannot guarantee one hundred percent protection.
