Russia disclosed information claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly threatened that the F-16MLU fighter jets provided by the West, no matter which airfield they take off from, will be a "legitimate strike" by the Russian army Putin released cruel words because now the West is promoting the supply of F-16 to Ukraine, and Western countries in Europe have promised to provide second-hand F-16MLU fighters last year, judging from the information released by Romania, there are already Ukrainian pilots receiving corresponding training, so it is an ironclad thing for the West to provide fighter jets. Just after Putin's cruel words, the bad news came, and there was already quite a rhythm of F-16MLU fighters joining the conflict in the Ukrainian crisis, because a Su-27 fighter jet of the Russian Air Force was suspected of being hit.
Russian social media posted a video on March 28 of a Russian Air Force Su-27 fighter jet suspected to have been hit by a missile over Crimea, and then began to "fall leaves", and the fighter eventually crashed into the Black Sea waters near Serstopol. Previously, it was reported that a Su-35 fighter was shot down, but judging by the latest news, it was a Su-27 fighter of the Russian Air Force. Since the Su-35 fighter and the Su-27 fighter are not much different in appearance, the Su-27 fighter will be mistaken for the Su-35 fighter. In fact, there were fighter jets crashed in the Russian Air Force before, and it was rumored that the US F-35A Lightning II fighter may have intervened in the conflict, so now that the Su-27 fighter has crashed, the F-16MLU fighter has become a new rumor.
In fact, the West has not delivered F-16MLU fighters, so the sudden crash of the Russian Su-27 fighter is caused by other factors, judging from the information released so far, it is very likely that it was attacked by friendly forces, because Crimea is often subjected to long-range attacks by Ukraine, for which the Russian army has been in a state of tension for a long time. At present, the Ukrainian Air Force still has some air forces, including Su-27 and MiG-29 fighters, etc., which have the same characteristics as Russia, so Russia may miscalculate, so as to directly use anti-aircraft missiles to "counterattack", Celstopol is located at the southern tip of Crimea, so it is relatively close to the area controlled by Ukraine, which increases the probability of miscalculation.
Russia has already suffered a number of bizarre fighter losses, including an electronic warfare plane that was attacked by missiles and nearly crashed, in addition to a video of the crash of a suspected A-50U airborne early warning aircraft, as well as photos of wreckage scattered on the ground. The Russian Air Force fighters were not lost on the battlefield, and there are many doubts in themselves, for which it is widely believed that the army mistakenly shot down the relevant fighters, but the Russian Ministry of Defense did not give an explanation. Now the Su-27 fighter is also suspected of being shot down, so it has once again sparked discussions in the outside world, Russia is called a fighting nation, in fact, not because of Russia's bravery, but because Russia also has a big heart, during the Ukrainian crisis conflict, Russia's rough tactics have been recognized as a fact.
In the recent stage, Ukraine has repeatedly used long-range precision-guided weapons to strike at the Russian-controlled Crimea region, during which it has used Storm Shadow cruise missiles, in fact, Ukraine has also used M142 Seahorse high mobility rocket launchers to strike targets located in Crimea.
