After the news that 14 Ukrainian Air Force pilots are being trained in F-16s at bases abroad, the Russians took action.
Today the Russian Air Force announced the delivery of new Su-57 fighter jets, which are the epitome of the Russian aviation industry.

The Russian Air Force plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, named after Yuri Gagarin (KnAAZ), has completed its aircraft production programme, delivering the final batch of fifth-generation Su-57 Felon aircraft to the Russian Ministry of Defence, according to a statement from United Aircraft Corporation.
The official company statement said that initiatives in 2023 aimed at improving the Su-57 assembly line, increasing aircraft production volume and resolving bottlenecks throughout the manufacturing cycle have boosted the plant's capabilities.
Measures have been taken to correct constraints not only in the final assembly workshop but throughout the entire production process.
Addressing issues relating to the sourcing of high-tech components from supplier factories and exploring improvements in assembly technology have been central to the project.
Yuri Slusar, CEO of United Aircraft Corporation, emphasized the ongoing modernization at the production facility.
By 2024, many key structures will be operational, advancing the implementation of future technical overhaul projects as part of the nation's defence industry development programme, vital to Su-57 serial production.
Το ρωσικό μαχητικό 5η γενιάς Su-57 Felon αναπτύχθηκε από το σχεδιαστικό γραφείο Sukhoi Design Bureau στο πλαίσιο της United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).
Using advanced composite materials such as polymers, fibreglass and aluminium, the Su-57 aircraft minimises its detection by all types of radar, reducing its infrared signature while having supersonic flight capabilities.
This project is relevant to both the war in Ukraine and the Russian confrontation with the US.
The United States, as the manufacturer of the F-16s, has given the OK to send the aircraft to Ukraine.
The Netherlands announced last week that it was "preparing 18 F-16 fighter jets for delivery to Ukraine in the near future, and this is exactly where Moscow intervenes.
Ukrainian pilots have gone to Britain, the US to be trained in the handling of this type of fighter aircraft, and something similar is being prepared in Romania at the two NATO bases in the country.
But the Russians have threatened to strike the bases from which the Ukrainian F-16s will operate, which, badly, will have a large proportion of Western pilots.The risk of a surprise Russian strike on countries neighbouring Ukraine is a huge conundrum for very strong solvers, especially now that the big Russian ground offensive is coming.
