Russia Bolsters Air Defenses With MiG-31K as Ukraine Prepares for F-16 Deployment | Times Now World
In response to Ukraine’s acquisition of F-16 jets, Russia has significantly bolstered its air defenses by modernizing MiG-31 fighters and equipping them with hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, enhancing their ability to intercept targets under various conditions. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the imminent transfer of F-16 jets from Denmark and the Netherlands to Ukraine, expected to commence this summer. However, the impact of these jets is debated, with experts like former Pentagon Advisor Prof. Theodore Postol expressing skepticism due to Russia’s dominant air defenses and significant logistical challenges. These challenges include parts availability, language barriers, and the need for mission-specific reconfiguration, compounded by Ukraine’s infrastructure limitations, such as inadequate runways and shelters, potentially hindering the effective deployment and protection of the F-16s.
