Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Russia must take into account the F-16s’ ability to carry nuclear weapons “while planning” combat operations. However, Putin also assured his troops the F-16s would meet the same fate as the other weapons delivered by the West to Ukraine. Russian military aviation historian and author, Nikolai Bodrikhin, agreed with Putin’s assessment of the fate F-16s can expect. According to Bodrikhin, the only practical threat the US-made aircraft can pose to Russia is as a missile carrier on a suicide mission. Watch the video to find out more.
