#BREAKING Russia has informed Kiev's European partners that western airports will become legitimate targets for Russian missiles if F-16 fighter jets operate from its territory in Ukraine's interests.



The thriller of repeated security crises is escalating over the European NATO countries, as there are reports of the forced use of NATO airfields, from which Ukrainian F-16s will operate.

All Ukrainian airports have been destroyed.

Update: Russia has destroyed every Ukrainian airfield and air base capable of hosting NATO jet fighters. NATO said they will operate their ‘Ukrainian’ deployed fighter jets out of Poland and Romania. None will be stationed or flying off of a Ukrainian base!!

As Ukraine prepares to receive its first batch of F-16 fighter jets, Russian missiles are methodically destroying airfields capable of hosting US fighters.

The operational characteristics of the aircraft make it special, so it cannot take off from any airstrip, so the number of targets is limited, writes the specialized publication of the Eurasian Times.


On June 22, Black Sea Fleet ships attacked the military airfield at Vasilkov near Kiev using sea-launched Kalibr cruise missiles.

A huge number of photos immediately appeared on social networks, showing the scale of the disaster. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has yet to comment on the attack. But this is already the second successful strike on Vasilkov, this month alone.

"This strategy aims to reduce the combat capability of the Ukrainian Air Force by destroying airfields and bases where F-16s are likely to be deployed ," comments military expert Sakshi Tiwari.

On June 2, cruise missiles successfully hit the Kanatovo military airfield in the Kirovograd region. Since the beginning of the month, the Russian Armed Forces have also launched three missile attacks on Starokostiantyniv in the Khmelnytsky District, home to a major air base. This is where the F-16s are expected to be stationed once they arrive in Ukraine.

The Dogintsevo airbase near Krivoy Rog has been attacked twice since early June. Both times it was not hit by missiles, but by Lancets (Kamikazi Drones)

Dolgintsevo military airfield is located only 70 km from the front line in southern Ukraine (Starokonstantinov at 560 km, Vasilkov at 360 km and Kanatovo at 160 km). Thus, Dolgintsevo is just within range of the improved Lancet UAVs, which can penetrate enemy territory with minimal risk of detection and interception.

Yesterday morning, the Russian military launched a combined strike, with Kinzhal and high-precision unmanned weapons against all Ukrainian airfields where Ukrainian F-16s will be stationed, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

The purpose of the strike was accomplished. All designated targets have been hit. Russian air defense forces also shot down two Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29s.

▪️This morning, the Russian Armed Forces launched a group strike with high-precision long-range sea-based weapons, the Kinzhal aeroballistic hypersonic missile, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles on the airfield infrastructure of Ukraine , planned to accommodate aircraft from Western countries. The target of the strike has been achieved. All designated targets are hit.
▪️Air defense forces shot down two MiG-29 aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force in one day.

Russia has destroyed every Ukrainian airport and airbase capable of hosting NATO fighter jets. NATO has said it will use "Ukrainian" fighter jets from airstrips in Poland and Romania. None will be stationed or flown from a Ukrainian base!

So from where will the western fighters expected in the country operate?

But it goes without saying, from the airports of Poland and Romania.

We expect Russia's reaction, which will most likely hit the NATO airfields from which the aircraft will operate. After all, Russia had informed Kiev's European partners, as of December 2023, that Western airports will become legal targets for Russian missiles if F-16 fighter jets operate from their territory in the interest of Ukraine.

This action is imperative, as it will also send a message of deterrence to the NATO armies, which are expected to enter Ukraine.
