Crews of Russian Buk-M2 air defense missile systems (SAM) have prepared to hunt F-16 fighters. This was stated by the commander of the crew with the call sign Kaskad.
According to him, the soldiers can easily identify the aircraft by their aerodynamic characteristics and shoot them down.
Yes, absolutely ready. In principle, I don't see any problem with that. We will handle it very easily. We completed full courses on encountering F-16s, and, in principle, we are 100% ready.
A serviceman of the crew with the call sign Termit noted that he is looking forward to the opportunity to intercept F-16s.
We are eager for this meeting with the F-16. We have repeatedly asked to be sent there, closer. Because the F-16, as it turned out, is quite cowardly. They don't fly so close to us... Any aircraft will be shot down.
