Russland truer med å skyte ned F-16-fly gitt til Ukraina: Utenrikspolitisk spenning øker
admin
According to Konstantin Gavrilov, Russia considers the deployment of F-16 planes in Ukraine as a serious security threat and is prepared to shoot them down if they enter Russian territory.
Gavrilov warns that the presence of F-16 planes in Ukraine poses a potential risk to nuclear safety, as it is unclear whether the planes may be equipped with atomic weapons.
Denmark has donated 19 F-16 planes to Ukraine, and Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen has confirmed that Ukraine will be allowed to use these planes against targets on Russian soil.
Russia’s ambassador to Denmark, Valdimir Barbin, has expressed concerns that the use of Danish weapons in Russia could escalate the conflict uncontrollably.
Russia has warned that it will respond aggressively if F-16 planes are used in Ukrainian operations that target Russia.
