The Global Times previously quoted Russian media reports as saying that in response to the F-16 deployment in Ukraine, the Russian army recently used "Iskander" tactical missiles to carry out multiple rounds of strikes on Myrhorod Airport in the middle of the old Konstantinovka Airport in western Ukraine and Doldyntsevo Airport in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

A Western defense industry source said that the old Konstantinovka Air Base is an ideal choice for the Ukrainian military to deploy F-16s. It is equipped with shelters built during the Soviet era and can better deal with Russian attacks.

Russian military expert Viktor Litovkin said that the Russian army's continuous attacks on Old Konstantinovka and other Ukrainian air bases mean that Moscow's top leaders are aware of Ukraine's intention to deploy F-16 fighter jets and are closely monitoring the developments at these airports.

Russian sources said that in response to the Russian military's attack on Ukrainian air bases, the Ukrainian army may deploy F-16s in third countries such as Poland and Romania, while the air bases in Ukraine will be used to refuel the fighter jets and replenish ammunition.

Sergei Golubtsov, Chief of Staff of the Ukrainian Air Force, also publicly mentioned in June this year that Ukraine will store some F-16s outside Ukraine to prevent them from becoming targets of the Russian army. At that time, Russia warned that if Ukrainian aircraft use NATO airports to perform combat missions, then these airports will become legitimate targets of Russia.
