F-16 Will Be a Game-changer for Ukraine's Air Force and They Will Arrive Very SOON

The strike capabilities of the world's most iconic 4th generation small jet fighter F-16 are enough to make the Russian air force more than nervous. Su-34, Su-35 and even strategic bombers will be in the danger zone when Ukrainian pilots will be roaming the skies of F-16s.

A brief history of the confrontation. Globalists are against the Russian people. 2007 - Putin, speaking in Munich, accuses the West of unleashing wars, organizing color revolutions, and destroying the world order. 2008 - The West launched a war against Russia, killing 79 Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia. 2014 - The West organized a coup in Ukraine, brought the Nazi junta to power there, began to destroy the Russian-speaking majority in Ukraine and arm Ukraine, preparing it for an attack on Russia. 2007-2022 - The West is trying to sway protests in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, trying to carry out coups in these three countries. 2022 - The Bandera junta attacks the independent republics of Donbass and starts a war. 8 days later, Russia invades Ukraine and begins an operation to protect the republics of Donbass. 2024 - Russia liberates the Russian lands of Ukraine from Nazi occupiers, the standard of living in Russia is high, the standard of living in the West has collapsed, the whole world is on Russia's side against the West. .

Ukrainian maintenance personnel didn't start training until Jan 2024. I worked on F-16s.

@TalorcMacAllan-rj3nr It takes a heck of a lot more than mere months to make a combat fighter pilot. These things are easy to look up. The website of your own country's air force (if it's a NATO country) should have info.

[@pabloottawa]

Ukrainian pilots have been training on the F-16 for over a year now. They are ready if not, close to it. Even better, US instructors tasked with training Ukrainian pilots have reported a much quicker learning of the jet and its systems than anticipated. The pilots are highly highly motivated to learn and succeed and this is showing in their progress. What normally takes 1-2 years is taking less than a year. Once pilots know the jet and the systems the training turns to logistics and planning. They’re getting the job done faster and with greater accuracy and success than pilots who undergo regular training for the F-16.

Aviation is essential to NATO doctrine. The lack in this area is why the Ukranian counter-offensive did not make progress. For example, when breaking through minefields it is essential to gain local control of the skies and to destroy any artillery that can interdict a breakthrough. If you look at any conflicts where US and other western aircraft have gone up against Soviet/Russian aircraft, you can see why this is such a game changer for Ukraine.

@@felixluisocasio8948 You are talking about a very wealthy, highly trained army in a conflict 42 years ago. Where are you getting these numbers from???? The large Syrian air force commitment sounds like the 6 Day War, but that was 1967, before the F16 existed. It's not a "theory" that 1982 was 42 years ago, or maybe you never learned math in school. The F16 was a 4 year old plane then, now, it is almost half a century old. The blocks of planes the Danes and Dutch have are also old, and the airframes in use for over 20 years; they are worn-out old planes. The Serbs in the Balkans were using mostly Mig21s...you know, (or, I guess you don't, because you seem terribly informed and incapable of basic logic or counting), the same ones the North Vietnamese used in the Vietnam War, in the 1960s. Also, that was 25 years ago. The Russians have 5th generation aircraft (SU57), as well as SU35s (introduced 2014).

It won't be a game changer. As a Ukrainian military commander said the other day " it was needed in 2023, not t 2024". They won't make a huge difference, their radars are very old and out of date, the missiles will not be the best available. It will have a small difference, they'll be very vulnerable to Russian long range air and surface launched missiles.

Let’s leave that to be seen and proven in battle

[@mathias2868]

Maybe another GAME CHANGER?🤣

[@samlos354]

What are they waiting for. If there are pilots to fly them they give them the planes!

[@lengangkealin6565]

Please let F-16 and Su-35 race in the air space to judge there power

[@homodinaricus]

I'm just waiting for the day they just delete all this "game changer" videos the way they did with Leopards lol.

[@hankhaney3785]

"Soon".......our "pathological liar" promises !

[@josiprakonca2185]

Really? Who will pilot them? Where they'll land? How they will be maintained and serviced?

[@cosmicdebris2223]

what can we make of comments from Ukrainian senior military people stating "they're coming too late... will hardly have an effect anymore" ?

[@ericp1139]

Bro actually used “game changer” haha

[@danieldon2973]

They Wont make that Big of a difference unless they come with a shitload of long range missiles and a “clearence” for engang targets inside russia.

Just a minute I have to put my Russian glasses on . Oh yes F-16's = Nuclear Weapons. On a serious note, you might want to mention that part of the F-16 transfer I believe the Swedes were considering throwing in Swedish Grippen Fighters as well.

[@trpugh9748]

The US is retiring those aircraft I don't understand why we're not sending f-16s from the US we have so many of them we could open up a used F-16 airport get them planes out of here send them to Ukraine get their pilots trained on them they need more than what other countries can give the USS face in them out send them to Ukraine train their pilots

[@danielcamacho1913]

The US is converting retired F-16s into QF-16 target drones, for our own pilots to practice. Maybe Ukrainian pilots are also getting this kind of practice which would mean, in a roundabout way, that we *were* donating F-16s to the cause. 🤔

There are alsdo hundreds of Abrams tanks gathering dust in the desert that could have been shipped over long ago.
