Stoltenberg: F-16s won't be ‘silver bullet’ for Kyiv

F-16s will not be “a silver bullet” for Ukraine in the war against Russia, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said, Report informs, citing foreign press.

According to the Secretary-General, no single system can decide the fate of war on its own:

“NATO allies providing Ukraine with F-16 fighters, sending weapons for those planes, and training pilots is a very important example of the alliance’s military assistance to Ukraine.

However, no single system can change the situation on the battlefield alone. F-16s are not a ‘silver bullet’ that will determine the course of the war. However, the acquisition of F-16s will increase the capabilities of the Ukrainian army in terms of repelling Russian attacks.”
