War in Ukraine, Russia threatens the West: Risks for F-16 suppliers

The West is moving to supply Ukraine with F-16 fighters. The alliance countries will also guarantee the necessary support for the training of military pilots. Clearly Russia is not sitting idly by and threatening repercussions for everyone participating in the project. Western countries will take “colossal risks” if they supply Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets. This was stated by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko after US President Joe Biden told leaders gathered at the G7 meeting in Hiroshima that Washington supports allied training programs for Ukrainian pilots in F-16s. .

“We are seeing that Western countries are still moving forward with the escalation scenario. This poses colossal risks for themselves,” Grushko said when answering a question about supplying Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets. “In any case, this scenario will be taken into account in all our plans and we have all the necessary means to achieve the goals we have set ourselves,” continued Deputy Sergei Lavrov.
