But something like the psychology; the cultural preparedness or nationalism required to endure and win a long, serious war (as well as the sacrifice of comforts and conveniences)....this, they cannot dare imagine.

@@PeterLawton I think he meant peace negotiations will not happen this year, for political reasons - but the longer the West refuses, the more Russia is going to take and solidify their control of eastern and (perhaps soon) central Ukraine. Already in late 2022, EU diplomat sources who had been to Ukraine identified a Russian takeover of Slovjansk and Kramatorsk as the tipping point that would bring about a serious redrawing of Europe's Ukraine strategy, a recognition that it was no longer realistic to give Kiev in blanco support for ever and expect a coming reversal. Those two key cities, along with Pokrovsk, are now only about 20-25 km away from the front and they will most likely fall in the next few months. Behind them, there is little in the way of possible fortifications and defence lines so once Russia has taken over those three, the advance towards the Dniepr river would likely speed up.

Agree, the only thing that reasonably would have had a chance of turning the war around would have been a massive intervention by NATO with their *own* armies, hundreds of their own fighter aircraft (plus most likely a second front in the southern Baltic Sea/Poland/Belarus region). That was never a realistic option seen from the West - NAT0 have no wish to risk a massive bleeding of their own forces and a possible expansion into WW3, and they haven't actually fought a ground war of this kind against a peer adversary for more than half a century - so the framework remains to keep on pumoing nutrition fluid, big money and armament to UKraine, and that in itself is not a winning concept against Russia.

The best explanation I can give for why this is taking so long is a combination of Pro Putin politicians who have deliberately stalled all aid to Ukraine, not just these F-16s, in basically every country that has F-16s to give, not just the US along with aging politicians in those same countries who DO support Ukraine but are following a policy of escalation limitation and management I deeply disagree with. On top of that there's military training for not only the pilots but also the ground support crew like the maintainers and other technicians that needs to happen even if the personnel have experience with soviet equivalent planes, and bureaucratic and logistical issues that need to be planned for and solved so that the Ukrainian F-16s don't run out of spare parts on the first day. The reason DW is reporting on this is because the entire process is a public issue, there might be elements of the process that will not be disclosed but the fact that Ukraine asked for fighter jets and several countries responded that they'd like to donate them is not a secret at all.

The willpower and tactics as well as just having enough of everything is more important than any particular "game changer," especially as most of the real fighting is still done with T-series tanks, Kalashnikov rifles, RPGs etc. That, and the fact that Russia has not had very brilliant tactics, thank goodness.

@@occamraiser Troll, Ask General Gerasimov. He is in charge. But just offhand, I would say that lacking nuclear weapons, destroying the entire UAF was not a priority. The Russians have been busy destroying weapons depots, air defenses and electric infrastructure. The Russian AF has been intercepting UAF and hitting them on the ground. The UAF had to get MIG-29s from other countries to replace their losses. The MIG-29 can operate from grass fields because their intakes are protected from foreign object damage and they can be hidden from the Russians. But it is only a matter of time before the UAF is completely destroyed.

Yep, also there will be only a rather limited number of them coming in over the next 2-3 months(shortage of properly trained Ukrainian pilots being just one of the reasons) and there are no useful and safe airfield to launch them from in central or southern Ukraine, so most likely they will have to be based in Romania.

@WangMingGe2 ай бұрын
Yes....people often overlook that the F16 was introduced in the 1970s and even then, it wasn't the top line fighter (that was the twin-engine F15); the F16 was the cheaper, more mass-production-oriented fighter. And, of course, much has changed in the decades since then. Russia does not have a lot of its new generation fighters as a percentage of its air force, but they vastly outnumber the amount of (old, worn-out) F16s promised to Ukraine.
