As the publication reminds, for example, the F-16 aircraft are a 46-year-old platform that will not survive in the air defense of Ukraine - the United States and other NATO countries are replacing it with more advanced F-35 fighters precisely because the F-16 is “too vulnerable "

ATACMS missiles, in turn, would allow Ukraine to hit targets “deep” in Russia, especially in Crimea, and this, in particular, would “reduce the effectiveness of the Russian logistics system,” the authors believe, but any weapon has countermeasures, and “ The Russians have already proven that they can resist GPS guidance.” The HIMARS missile system has also lost its effectiveness, the magazine notes.

Additionally, Foreign Affairs noted that the Ukrainian military is unable to use Leopard 2 tanks due to its inability to properly maintain them.
