Debate continues online about the ability of Russian fighters to eliminate aerial targets with air-to-air missiles from a distance of more than 200 km. However, military expert Evgeny Mikhailov noted in an interview with www1.ru that the Russian Aerospace Forces have more advanced technologies at their disposal in the context of aerial confrontation with NATO alliance aircraft.
He pointed out that if NATO F-16s take on the task of missile defense 40 km before the line of contact, they will become a very easy target.
Strikes at such a great distance, at 213 km, are primarily a threat to the F-16. We hinted that such aircraft would not last long.
Earlier it became known that the crew of the Russian Su-35S intercepted a MiG-31 aircraft with a strike from a distance of 213 km, which is a world record.
