Ukraine uses highways as runways for F-16s - LCI
Fri, August 30, 2024 - 23:43

Ukraine can use sections of roads or highways for F-16 takeoffs and landings. This helps reduce the risk of the jets being targeted by Russian air defense systems, according to LCI.

Former military pilot Xavier Tytelman provided LCI with a video allegedly showing Ukrainian forces dismantling central dividers and modifying the asphalt on roads.

In his opinion, tthis is how Ukraine is trying to reduce the risk of F-16 jets being targeted by Russian air defense systems.

Another LCI expert, French General Michel Yakovleff, noted that similar methods have been used in the past in other countries. However, he mentioned that takeoffs under such conditions are riskier than those on traditional runways designed and marked for aircraft operations.
