To take fight deeper into annexed Crimea, as Russia uses as major naval base & protected by air. Pre-date are notable now because they are close to service Ukrainian pilot & crews continue conversion training in western F-16 jets. Jets won't be a game-changer, but another significant arrow in the quiver for Kyiv.
A classic tactic to overwhelm air defences is to swamp them with targets, thereby occupying their acquisition & use multi tracking systems help. These F-16 multi-role aircraft provide a stronger air-to-air & air-to-ground capability, thereby potentially improving Ukrainian Air defence -- Repelling Russian threat from skies is vital protection of cities & critical infrastructure such as energy plants. Denmark, Netherlands & the US expect to deliver up to 85 of this "Vipers" to Ukraine till next year...

Ukraine did not use it airforce to attack Russian threat from skies, it is vital to protection not only cities & but also is critical in ground attach such as in frontline. Look like Denmark, Netherlands & the US did not deliver enough jet fighting to full 85 this "Vipers" to Ukraine till next year?.
Thay why Russian can captured town of Selydovo earlier this week – its biggest regional prize since seizing Avdiikva – Russian are pushing toward Kurakhov soon. Sitting astride N-15 highway, the settlement is just south of a mile-wide stretch of Vovcha River & supports the movement of troops and materiel in the region. As such, it is a bulwark on a Russian advance toward Pokrovsk about 20 miles to the north.
Russian forces r less than 3 miles from Kurakhov, according to DeepState. Control of city is key to a pocket of Ukrainian-held territory that Russia is pushing toward from north, east & south. A Russian mechanized column “has already pushed into city’s eastern outskirts..,” independent Russian Meduza media outlet reported. “Addition Russian units are pressing in from north (from direction of Selydove) from south (from the direction of Vuhledar),” which as we previously reported was captured early last month.
“Ukrainian defenses to the south of the city appear especially weak,” Meduza added. “After a chaotic retreat from Vuhledar, the brigades seem worn out, and even reinforcements sent from Zaporizhzhia haven’t been enough to help.”
