Putin: if F-16s are used against Russia, they will become a legitimate target for us. Putin also said that possible deliveries of F- 16s to Ukraine will not change the situation on the battlefield.

Earlier, the head of the French Ministry of Armed Forces, Sebastien Lecornu, announced his intention to adapt AASM guided bombs for F-15 fighters. The French Ministry has said it could be sent to Kyiv in the near future. The Russian President made the comments during a conversation with military pilots in the Tver region.
