The Italian Air Force command decided not to raise its F-35 fighters to intercept a group of combat aircraft in the sky due to the fact that the military group, in addition to bombers and AWACS aircraft, also included Su-35 fighters of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
This decision was probably caused by the fears of the highest flight officials of Italy by the fact that the combat fighters of the Russian Federation, without hesitation, could commit a demonstrative massacre of the 5th generation combat aircraft, writes Avia.pro. For some reason, the design of these military aircraft is constantly criticized in Italy.
The airspace incident happened the day before yesterday. On this day, a link of long-range strategic bombers-missile carriers of the Russian Federation Tu-22M3, one AWACS A-50 aircraft and Su-35 fighters flew along the central part of the Mediterranean Sea. Despite the fact that the Russian Tu-22M3 bombers, in theory, could work out a missile attack on the territory of Italy, the Italian military pilots on F-35 fighters were not forced to raise even such a strategic moment into the sky.
Earlier it was reported that NATO fighters were indeed raised to intercept a group of Russian military aircraft, however, due to the presence of Su-35 fighters, considered to be the most advanced combat aircraft today, the Alliance fighters did not dare to approach the Russian bombers. Experts note that NATO's refusal to use F-35 fighters against Russian Su-35s indicates that the American combat aircraft is not ready for such a meeting.
