But the questions are, how could it change the dynamic of the conflict, and what this means for the future of the Ukraine War?.
The conflict in Ukraine is fast approaching its first year. As many other ground-warfare, the aerial battle has turn into a prolonged fight for dominance. Ukraine, fighting defensively, has chosen to bide its time and look for any potential advantages that might come from increased support from the West. Consequently, the acquisition of military equipment from the West has been essential for Ukraine's ongoing resistance. The latest commitments from Ukraine's allies consist of high-tech tanks like the German Leopard 2 and the American Abrams. The topic of transferring F-16 multi-role fighter jets to Ukraine has come up recently. The United State and its allies providing Ukraine with modern and sophisticated F-16 fighter jets to augment their outdated Soviet-era air force.
The F-16 "Fighting Falcon" was introduced into US service in 1978 and has undergone numerous upgrades since then. As a fighter jet, the F-16 would be a better match against Russian MiG-29 and Sukhoi Su-27 fighters than Ukraine's current fleet, which mainly consists of similar aircraft. However, Russia has upgraded its Soviet-era mainstays and added more advanced aircraft like the Su-35, giving them a technical advantage in the air.
