전 미공군 중장, \'F-16 안 주면 러시아가 이길 가능성 높아져\'

  이 장성이 말하길 서구제 전차는

주포 사거리가 짧고 많은 보급, 
정비 소요가 발생 하므로 전쟁의
흐름을 크게 바꿀 수 없답니다.

 반면, 전투기는 적 장비를 더
효과적으로 타격할 수 있는데
우크라이나의 소련제 전투기는
파괴 되거나 제대로 정비 안 돼
못 쓰는 상태라 하구요.
 
 
 그래서, 더더욱 F-16이 필요한
거고 F-16 주기로 결정할 경우
올연말엔 우크라이나에 배치될
수 있을 걸로 본다네요.

 하지만, F-16 지원 결정 쉽게
못 내리는 등 미국이 지금처럼
너무 조심스레 행동하면 러시아의
전쟁 목표가 달성될 가능성이
높아질 거라 하구요.

 

 Why Ukraine Needs F-16s

 2023.02.24

 By David A. Deptula and Evelyn N. Farkas


 Several Western nations have recently supplied 
Kyiv with modern tanks, including the U.S.’s M1 
Abrams and Germany’s Leopard, which is a positive 
development and a diplomatic victory for Ukraine. 

 But tanks have limitations. The gun on a modern 
tank has a maximum reach of about 3 miles, and 
the vehicle’s top speed is just above 40 miles an hour. 

 Tanks can’t operate long without tremendous logistical 
support, both in fuel and maintenance, and won’t do 
much to change the picture on the ground as the war 
devolves into an ugly World War I-type stalemate.

 Ukraine has made the most of its Soviet-era combat 
aircraft?including MiG-29s, SU-25s and SU-27s?but 
its air force is taking losses and wearing out over time. 

 The military doesn’t have enough spare parts to sustain 
such heavy use, and it will need something else “to close 
our skies,” as President Volodymyr Zelensky told Congress 
last year.

 But experienced Ukrainian fighter pilots can be trained in 
three to six months and contractors could be hired to provide 
maintenance and logistics support relatively quickly to get 
an initial F-16 squadron ready for combat by year’s end.

 The current Western formula is to approve weapons for 
Ukraine slowly and cautiously, wait to see whether they 
are effective, and repeat. 

 But that gives Russia the advantage of time and increases 
the chances that Mr. Putin’s war aims will prevail.
