Russian Su-35S fighter jets showed unparalleled power in the blue sky of Avdeyevka, leaving the Ukrainian Air Force huddled in its own airfield. This modern fighter with its extraordinary maneuverability and advanced ** system has crushed Ukraine's air resistance. However, the American F-16 that Ukraine looks up to has not been delivered, which makes Ukraine's predicament even deeper.
Desperate Choice: The Plight of the Ukrainian Air Force.
Although Ukraine's air force remains, its strength appears to be disintegrating in the face of pressure from the Su-35S. Although Ukrainian pilots are being trained on the F-16, the long wait makes Ukraine remain the soft underbelly of the Russian Air Force in the coming years, plunging into endless crises.
Allies are silent: the United States waits and sees and hesitates.
The U.S. has been vague about its support for Ukraine, and delays in aid have made Ukraine's situation even worse. While some countries promised to provide F-16s, the actual actions were disappointing. For Ukraine, time is of the essence, and every moment of delay means even greater challenges.
Future Prospects: Change and Unity.
In the face of Russia's assertion, Ukraine must unite and seek a path to change. Only by strengthening our conviction and enlisting more international support can we break the impasse and regain control of the air. And the United States, as an ally of Ukraine, has the responsibility to provide substantial assistance and jointly respond to the challenges from the east.
The rise of Su-35S fighters has dealt a blow to the Ukrainian Air Force. However, in the face of this challenge, the Ukrainian people will be relentless, seek change and survive, and fight for their country and freedom. On the road ahead, they will continue to work hand in hand with the international community to achieve peace and stability.
