“In future military aid packages, Ukraine is expecting F-16 aircraft and missiles with a target range of 300-500 kilometers, which will allow the Ukrainian defense forces to achieve even greater success on the battlefield,” the Ukrainian agency UNIAN quotes him as saying.

The publication noted that it is still difficult to say what missiles Naev is talking about, since fighters are a universal platform for a wide range of weapons, which explains its popularity.

Most likely, the publication says, we are talking about air-to-surface cruise missiles of the AGM-158 JASSM type, and not air-to-air.

Earlier, Advisor to the Ukrainian Air Force Command Yuriy Ignat said that they were ready to transfer F-16s to Kyiv, but the infrastructure was not ready.
