Ukrainian F-16 pilots running out of air-to-air missiles, falling back on cannons
Ukraine's F-16 pilots are facing an acute shortage of air-to-air missiles during daytime combat sorties, in some cases engaging Russian aerial targets with the aircraft's 20mm cannon, the commander of Ukraine's 107th Air Wing has warned. The shortfall affects AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles that are also used by NASAMS air defense systems protecting Kyiv.
