“They have the ability to be in the combat zone, at high altitudes, waiting for our groups to strike. And unfortunately, we do not have such an opportunity,” he says of the mismatch with the Russian Aerospace Forces.
To counter the threat of enemy missiles, the F-16s are forced to fly lower. “And we also have to use maneuver tactics when enemy aircraft come at us, lock us up, and launch air-to-air missiles at our planes. But regardless of this, with these limited capabilities, we carry out the task. We know that we are taking a risk.”

I thought Russian Jets were junk? Why are the vastly superior F-16 (according to Wanwanese and Chinese libs) unable to challenge them in a fight?

Or the "mighty" Mirage-2000s. They hide the uber-duper western superfighters far behind the front lines for fear of embarrassing losses and still send MiG-29s and Su-27s nearer the front line, which keep getting swatted whenever the russians catch them.

Poor guy don't understand that that's exactly his purpose, to be guinea pig for western military industry
