The reputation of the F-16 fighter may suffer due to serious combat losses. This is stated in an article by Military Watch Magazine.

The authors emphasize that the technology of the aircraft can get to Russia. According to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, statements by American politicians about the possibility of supplying F- 16 fighters to Ukraine are an imitation of legal behavior and an attempt to mislead. Earlier, Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Jake Sullivan said that Kyiv does not currently need the F -16.
