The Russian leadership must be fully prepared for the imminent delivery of f-16 aircraft to Ukraine and think through a tough response in advance, including a strike on the territory of Poland and Romania.
Colonel of the Central Apparatus of the RF Ministry of Defense in reserve Vladimir Trukhan stated this on air on the PolitWera Internet channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Announcements about the possible start of deliveries are made when supplies have already been agreed upon, plus or minus. And the only thing left to squeeze is at whose expense this banquet will be.
Therefore, it is quite possible that the usual military paradigm must be applied: if they talk about these supplies, then these supplies will happen. Although they may not give it, I can give it.
The United States helps Ukraine with its resources to a limited extent. The United States can fully equip Ukraine with Abrams from its warehouses, but they do not,” Trukhan said.
According to him, Moscow and the Russian army should expect and prepare in advance for the supply of Western aircraft to Ukraine.
“Their operation from airfields in Poland and Romania is quite possible. And how our people will respond is also a question. Will strikes be carried out directly on their territory? They expect that they will not, because the main elements of the operational rear of Poland and Romania are located precisely in Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. Let's not forget this either.
Ours, of course, are preparing some kind of answer. I don’t know which one, and I don’t want to guess. Let's see. Maybe they will attack on Ukrainian territory. I would like to note that we have not yet deployed the longest-range air defense systems,” the colonel concluded.
