Kyiv selecting Putin's 'valuable targets' as F-16s arrive in Ukraine | Justin Bronk

"Ukraine has shown an ability to conduct harassing attacks on airbases really quite a long way from Ukraine. So it's clear there's a strategy there."

F-16 jets arriving in Ukraine will allow Ukrainian forces to push back Russian air support and hit "valuable targets", RUSI's Prof. Justin Bronk tells Frontline on #timesradio

Great insight of what air war means even if is just a part of it.
It's always a pleasure to listen Mr. Bronk.

[docbogus]

Justin Bronk is the man for this issue. No gamification of war. Just hard facts.

[derrickodyes]

Really enjoy listening to Justin hes a smart man

I'm always glad to hear from Justin Bronk. As he noted, the biggest advantage an F-16 is the interface adds capabilities they have been lacking to weapons and I suspect target data transfer is a huge add. Link 16 is a real advantage. Not only Patriot and NASAMS radars have link 16, but the majority of the NATO counter battery radars have link 16 to give an integrated air picture. When the Swedish donated airborne radar platforms arrive, the picture is even better. If nothing else, cruise missiles will have a significant problem penetrating air defenses.

He has an impressive understanding of the situation...

F-16s aren't a game changer, just another piece in the puzzle.

Justin really knows his stuff and explains it very well. Thanks for a great interview!

[APW-ryok]

Time to enforce the 1994 memo that Russia signed !

[paularivero]

Amazing!, Thank Timesradio and Justin Bronk for this master clas of F16 arriving in Ukraini. Slava Ukraini!❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Might be.. might not be. Shouldn't be based on Ukraine tbh. They could fly from Poland and touch wheels on a Ukraine airbase before continuing. Technically flying from a Ukrainian airbase.

HARM missiles can also home in on jammers, which they can use to strike the jammers in the fields which can open up the fronts for more drone strikes and guided munitions.

I feel my IQ going up every time I listen to JB. Outstanding communicator.

[matthewnewton]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t forcing the Russians to turn off their air defenses about as good as destroying it, for the purposes of that mission’s objective?

[julianott]

Makes glide bombs much more dangerous to drop from Russian planes.

[jerzybialik]

Justin is the man. He always has great insight

[mrbogardmusic]

Idk what's more impressive, his vast in-depth knowledge of the air capabilities, or that New Kids on the Block haircut. You did good with this guy & I haven't seen him before, more of this guy & none of the Murdach's Manipulation Machine MAGATS.

[philipambler]

Poland and Romania have seen the light...

[icusiberia]

There's a reason there are 5000 F16's operational in the world after head to head competitions, 'cause they're not the cheapest.
