F-16s in Ukraine Will Be Considered Nuclear-Capable Aircraft by Russia, Foreign Ministry Says
17:33 06.05.2024 (Updated: 18:59 06.05.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Netherlands and Denmark were among the first countries to agree to supply F-16s to Ukraine. The White House later confirmed that Kiev would receive the US-made jets from third countries once Ukrainian pilots complete the training to fly them.
Russia will treat F-16 multi-role fighter jets operated by
Ukraine as nuclear-capable assets, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
"We cannot ignore the fact that these planes are dual-purpose platforms that can be used both for nuclear and non-nuclear tasks … No matter what modification of the aircraft will be supplied [to Ukraine] we will treat them as nuclear-capable and we will consider this step of the United States and NATO as a purposeful provocation," the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry further warned the regime in Kiev and its
Western donors that their reckless behavior was driving the conflict in Ukraine to the point of no return.
"The regime in Kiev and its Western sponsors should realize that their reckless steps are bringing the situation closer to the point where it will attain ‘critical mass’ and explode," the ministry said.
