（粵語）F-16已經在路上，隨時可能出現在烏克蘭上空｜【 #軍事熱點】

A pair of U-Haul trucks driven by a Ukrainian drone were driving at high speed on the road A first-person view of the drone was so close that it seemed to be a typical drone attack on the road But the story in this video is not a battlefield and the driver is not in danger This is the first-person view of the Ukrainian drone operator's obstacle training ground At that time, these two U-Haul trucks were helping to train the Ukrainian first-person drone pilot how to fly over obstacles avoid electronic warfare and hit moving targets In practice, it is not easy to lead the drone to detect and track dynamic targets It is not as easy as many drones chasing tanks, cars, and army videos Continuous training is required for drone operators Especially novice drone operators need to overcome many obstacles in the process of flying Training is a necessary course for these pilots From basic skills to complex training to tactical application and combat experience The obstacle training ground offers many challenges From the model of the building's exterior to the rotation of the metal bar to the space through the box including open windows, doors, and tank windows From attacking static targets to attacking high-speed driving targets such as tanks and armored vehicles Successful first-person vision drone operators need to be able to control drones and also be able to pair drones with ammunition and sensors In addition, newbies need to learn how to use Flying Bear, a high-speed 3D printing machine The Ukrainian Defense Communication Group signed a memorandum of understanding on Wednesday at the NATO summit and promised to provide 1 million first-person vision drones to Ukraine So far, the Netherlands, the UK, Lithuania, New Zealand, and Sweden have promised to provide 49 million U.S. dollars to acquire these drones as soon as possible The entire plan is expected to require more funds In addition to providing first-person vision drones the U.N. is also working hard to provide other types of drones including reconnaissance, attack drones, artificial intelligence-level drones and anti-drone capabilities The Ukrainian Ground Forces Command is recruiting newbies on a large scale There are people who are willing to drive first-person vision drones to engage with Russian troops Most of these people are gamers Now they have become the great discovery and precious asset of the Ukrainian military But for the enemy, they are a great danger From the news at the Washington NATO summit on July 10 The F-16 fighter jet that Ukraine has been waiting for is on its way to Ukraine U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said I am pleased to announce that while we are speaking here Ukraine and Denmark are cooperating with Ukraine on the F-16 fighter jet These drones will be in use this summer to ensure that Ukraine can continue to effectively defend against Russian invasion U.S. President Biden Dutch Prime Minister Dirk Zilver and Danish Prime Minister Medvedev issued a joint statement on Tuesday We, the joint leaders of the Ukrainian Ground Forces have been committed to providing Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets With the support of the U.S. the Dutch and Danish governments are shipping the F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine The three leaders also made a commitment to Belize and Norway to provide more aircraft and support to other members of the U.S. Ground Forces to express their gratitude For safety reasons we are unable to provide more details about the F-16 fighter jets The Air Force Alliance is made up of many countries and is committed to further strengthening Ukraine's air force capabilities including the 4th generation F-16 multi-purpose fighter jet construction The NATO is planning to support the protection and military training of these aircraft as well as the training of relevant pilots to improve combat effectiveness However, having a fighter jet is not all that solves the problem Ukraine still needs enough pilots to pilot these aircraft The Ukrainian Air Force will soon have about 60 F-16 fighter jets but there are currently only about 15 to 20 pilots Usually, 60 aircraft require 90 to 120 pilots to be able to perform combat effectiveness In fact, Ukrainian F-16 pilots need years of training to master all the functions and tactics of F-16 fighter jets including the number of flight hours that these inexperienced fighter pilots need as well as certain mission flight experience Therefore, from the F-16 to Ukraine to be able to fully utilize these aircraft there is still a long way to go At the same time the Ukrainian government continues to negotiate with Sweden on Ukraine's air force and British fighter jets Ukraine's Vice-President of the President's Office Ivor Zofovaya said Ukraine is still interested in buying Swedish JAS-39 British fourth-generation multi-purpose fighter jets But before that Ukraine had requested a suspension of these fighter jets' transfer to Ukraine On July 13 Swedish Foreign Minister Torbjörn Bjerkström said Ukraine has decided to postpone the purchase of JAS-39 British until the acceptance of the US F-16 fighter jets is completed Bjerkström said the reason is that two fighter jets are used at the same time However this is almost the same as the comments in foreign media One of the reasons JAS-39 British is so popular is that it can take off from high-speed highways This is extremely important to the former U.S. Department of Defense's temporary airport operations Zofovaya said I have never heard of Ukraine giving up British fighter jets On the contrary this is a topic that the President In August 2023 when Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mikhail Voronin visited Sweden he was very interested in British fighter jets However this topic was only brought to the public in March this year At that time, the Swedish Defense Minister Kingson admitted although there is no exception to the possibility of transferring British fighter jets but the F-16 is still the top priority He emphasized this decision was not made unilaterally but was made by the so-called U.N. the so-called U.N. Although the transfer of British fighter jets was suspended Sweden still made a contribution by providing ASC-890 to Ukraine's defense capabilities Compared to fighter jets ASC-890 is a more important military asset of Ukraine No matter which side decides to suspend the transfer of British fighter jets Kiev and Stockholm are still discussing the transfer of fighter jets Both sides are willing to promote this plan Ukraine has clearly stated at least 128 fighter jets can reach the lowest level in Russia However only the F-16 is not enough Since the spring of this year since the Russian tactical missiles hit Ukraine Ukrainian military claims have destroyed or damaged at least 15 Russian long-range air defense systems including the Russian S-300 and S-400 air defense systems Russia initially used Crimea as a jump board for its full-scale invasion and later used it as a base for air strike operations However, the current Crimea has no longer existed as an advantage for Ukraine's defense capabilities The reason for this is that the two sides have more and more missile defense systems In the past three months, the Business Satellite Image has confirmed that Russia's radars in Crimea and electronic warfare facilities long-range lines and airports have been damaged The analysis of British military research and intelligence agencies shows that Ukraine has achieved quite an impressive success in the past few months Russia has destroyed more than S-400 missile defense systems The continued attack on Russian air defense systems may force Moscow to transfer its warplanes from Crimea in order to avoid losing more aircraft The former U.S. Army Commander-in-Chief Benford Keyes, who advocated Ukraine's long-range strike capabilities, said he was impressed by Ukraine's use of U.S. Army tactical missiles Everything they are doing has laid the foundation for the future The F-16 fighter jets provided by the West will start flying in the summer of this year Although the number is limited if the Russian air defense system's performance is limited it will be a big hit for F-16s or other ground-to-ground weapons or high-value ground targets The head of Ukraine's military intelligence agency Volodymyr Budalov said last month Crimea is the first country in the world to deploy its most advanced S-500 Prometheus missile defense system in response to the Crimea strike Now, Crimea has almost all Russian military facilities located within the range of the Russian tactical missiles It may no longer be Russia's backdoor
