"F-16s will not become a "silver bullet" for the Armed Forces in the war with Russia", NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg commented in an interview with Bild.
"The fact that NATO allies are supplying F-16s, as well as pilot training and the supply of weapons for the F-16s, is another example of significant military support from NATO allies to Ukraine. But the battlefield situation cannot be changed by a single system. This is not a "silver bullet" that will change the whole war," Stoltenberg believes.
"However, the F-16s are important. They will further strengthen Ukraine's ability to repel Russian aggression. So I welcome the fact that the Allies are now working hard on these supplies, as well as training pilots and technicians for the F-16," he added.
