The deep involvement of American F-35** fighter jets in the Russia-Ukraine conflict poses a significant challenge to the Russian army, but despite this, the limitations in actual combat have not turned the tide of the war.
Singapore's Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen announced that Singapore will purchase eight additional F-35A fighter jets to strengthen its defense capabilities, which will expand the country's F-35 fleet to a staggering 20 aircraft, further enhancing Singapore's air capabilities.
Singapore's Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen reveals key information] For the Singapore Air Force's strong lineup of 40 F-15 SGs and 60 F-16 CDs, every major procurement decision needs to be carefully interpreted.
In a public discussion, Huang Yonghong unexpectedly revealed a secret closely related to the current hot event: the United States uses F-35 fighter jets to frequently detect and locate the Russian military's surface-to-air missile bases in Ukraine, while sharing this valuable information with NATO partners.
This disclosure undoubtedly reveals the importance of technical intelligence in the international situation.
The F-35A is stationed in Europe and the United States, and the signal behind the heated discussion is the signal behind the heated discussion] The movement of the F-35A fighter jet has attracted global attention because it reveals a new dimension of the F-35's deep involvement in the fight against Russia.
This prompts people to think deeply about why the losses of the Russian army over the battlefield in Ukraine have risen significantly since 2024. Ukraine's storm shadow** has repeatedly penetrated the Russian army's air defense network, hitting key targets, and even the air defense system has not been spared.
Although the performance of the Russian Aerospace Forces in the conflict did not meet expectations, they still controlled the air supremacy in the theater, squeezing the active space of the Ukrainian Air Force and turning it to guerrilla tactics.
However, the strength of the Ukrainian army's counterattack is not enough to pose a substantial threat to the Aerospace Forces. So, is the mystery of the sharp increase in losses of the Aerospace Forces revealed? The answer points to the tactical innovation adopted by the Ukrainian army - using German-backed Patriot-2 missiles and S-300 to carry out precision strikes on approaching Russian aircraft in the form of rapid ambush and evacuation.
Revealing the intelligence of the Ukrainian army**: The story behind the Patriot missile] Although the speculation of the Patriot 2 missile launcher is widely accepted, the specific way for the Ukrainian army to obtain the dynamics of the Russian army is still shrouded in fog.
Although NATO's early warning aircraft are guarding the Black Sea, and there are intelligence sharing bridges between Ukraine and NATO, the incompatibility of the two systems has led to limited response speed. However, the confirmation of the reconnaissance operations of the F-35 stealth fighter in the Russia-Ukraine conflict by Singapore has given us insight into the workings of this mechanism.
With its APG-81 radar, advanced optoelectronic system and ASQ-239 reconnaissance equipment, the F-35 can undoubtedly track and identify rapidly changing targets efficiently and accurately if it is close to the battle line.
The performance advantages of these F-35s undoubtedly accelerate the decision-making cycle for the Patriot air defense system of the Ukrainian army and greatly enhance the overall combat capability.
The F-35's forward reconnaissance capability is excellent] Huang Yonghong once mentioned that the F-35 not only demonstrated the powerful reconnaissance, identification and location capabilities of the Russian army's surface-to-air missile bases.
In actual combat, it can first lock the location of Russian air defense facilities, and then accurately locate them through UAVs, and then use Seahorse and other means to carry out accurate non-contact strikes.
At the same time, when the Ukrainian army uses long-range strikes, the information support of the F-35 can help them skillfully avoid the enemy's air defense network, significantly improving the strike efficiency and the possibility of breakthrough.
Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the recent losses of the Aerospace Forces are largely due to their insufficient counter-detection of ** fighters such as the F-35, and it is difficult to effectively identify and intercept them at a long distance.
The Russian army's anti-stealth defense line without AWACS is obviously flawed] From a macro point of view, if NATO fully intervenes in the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, Russia will face a serious challenge to F-35 air supremacy, they lack fifth-generation aircraft and insufficient anti-stealth means.
At the moment, NATO has not shown its determination for a full-scale conflict, and the tactical superiority of the F-35 cannot be translated into strategic overwhelm. For the U.S. military, the F-35's deep penetration into the theater of operations will increase the risk of being detected and attacked by the enemy.
At the same time, Russia has the means of counterattack, possibly striking NATO airfields with missiles, threatening the existence of the F-35. This reveals NATO's tactical limitations, and it is precisely because of the weaknesses of both sides that can be exploited that a confrontation situation has been created that is tense on the surface but stable in substance.
Air strikes may not rely entirely on air-to-air duels] Otherwise, the mission of the F-35 flying into Ukraine will not be just reconnaissance, but may quietly participate in actual combat. This highlights Russia's proactive position in the Russia-Ukraine situation.
Even if the F-35 secretly participates in the war, in the face of NATO's deep involvement, it will be difficult for Ukraine to reverse the tide of the war with this kind of *** alone.
