This year, there are many important things to do in the world, that is, the United States agrees with NATO's military assistance to Ukraine. This decision will have far-reaching consequences around the world, especially the great increase in Ukraine's military power. The Danish Ministry of Defense recently announced that it will purchase 19 F16 aircraft for Ukraine in the second quarter of this year, which adds another strong guarantee to Ukraine's air power.
The arrival of these planes is seen by some observers as a possible turning point for Ukraine in the Russia-Ukraine war. But we still need to be cautious about this. In the past, many people who were called "kings of change" failed to fundamentally change the face of the battlefield. So, although the appearance of the F-16 fighter will have some kind of impact on the overall situation of the war, they are not the ultimate winner.
The F-16 fighter has strong combat effectiveness and can carry a variety of ** from Western countries, such as cruise missiles, anti-irradiation missiles, etc. Such performance could make Ukraine's air power more efficient. At the same time, the F16 also has the ability to update the direction of its attack in real time, and such mobility will make Ukraine more strategically advantageous.
However, we should also realize that the Air Force alone cannot determine the outcome of this war. The complexity of Army operations requires us to be ready for change. In the past, missiles such as M777 artillery and Seahorse missiles, which were hyped up by the West, although they also had a certain power on the battlefield, they failed to fundamentally turn the tide of the war.
The appearance of F16 fighters may play a big role in Ukraine's military strategy, but they will not end the war. In future wars, whether in Ukraine or elsewhere, we must carefully estimate the role of a single system. For China, the accident is also a wake-up call for China to keep an eye on military developments in the world and be ready to deal with possible future wars. The United States is likely to provide the same support in such an important area as the Taiwan Strait, which requires us to be vigilant and develop strategic plans accordingly.
