The next packages of military assistance to Ukraine will include F-16 aircraft and missiles with a range of hitting targets of 300-500 kilometers, Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Seriy Nayev said.

"In subsequent military assistance packages, Ukraine expects F-16 aircraft and missiles with a range of hitting targets of 300-500 kilometers, which will allow the Ukrainian Defense Forces to achieve even greater success on the battlefield and liberate our territory from the enemy," Nayev said in an interview posted on the Joint Forces Command Facebook page on Sunday.

According to him, the Ukrainian arsenal has already been replenished with modern weapons from drones to advanced air defense systems, and the Ukrainian army has mastered them very quickly. Nayev expressed confidence "that no country in the world has such a variety of weapons as Ukraine."

"Thanks to the material and technical assistance of partner countries, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received Western artillery weapons; in terms of their tactical and technical characteristics, similar types of Russian artillery prevail. In particular, the M777A1, FH70 field howitzers and CAEZAR, AHS Krab, PzH-2000, M109 self-propelled artillery mounts were received, which, in combination with counter-battery systems and reconnaissance UAVs, allowed the Defense Forces to neutralize the enemy's multiple advantage," the commander said.

At the same time, he said the greatest threat from the enemy currently comes from missile and air strikes using long-range aircraft, Iskander operational-tactical missile systems, Kh-47M Kinzhal hypersonic aircraft systems, and anti-aircraft missile systems. S-300/400 and Iranian kamikaze drones of the Shahed type. "The massive use of all types of missiles and UAVs is carried out from the depths of Russian territory, which does not allow them to be hit on a larger flight path," Nayev said.
