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.

It's so exciting to see Lloyd Austin speaking so boldly from his prepared remarks, two years into the failure of the Pentagon to adequately oppose the long-awaited Soviet advance. All that money Reagan and others invested sits in warehouses awaiting more cash from Congress to buy new toys.

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. .

[@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.

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).

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

[@vaterunser3879]

These are good news and u wanna create Hope and good mood... But: How u gonna protect the hangars from ruSSian attack? From their anti-air defense? Resupply fuel, missiles, bombs? So many questions that hopefully were answered upfront, the public doesn't need to know but I hope UA is well prepared

[@ssgore001]

They have built underground bunkers for all of them

[@neilfoster9517]

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

[@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.

[@kirkclarke7396]

It wont be long until ukraine asks for more fighter jets woth longer range

[@StoccTube]

The most critical part of F16 isn’t that it’s a fighter, it’s that it is a platform to properly utilise and not just Jerry rig NATO standard missiles and bombs. Thats what will change this war, not dogfighting. Basically any NATO standard jet that carries current standard weaponry is going to get the job done. They just need F16 because there are so many of them and that will help the training, logistics and maintenance happen more efficiently.

[@dessmith7658]

Do you think that's wise

[@samlos354]

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

[@pliashmuldba]

Denmark are selling some of its F 16 to Argentina, so NOT donating all of its fleet, also can not sell / donate all before our new F 35 are delivered, ATM only 5 F 35 in Denmark.

[@saleem956ify]

F16s will be a game changer like everything else before it.

[@anthonyhulse1248]

The game changer was Ruzzia invading a sovereign country, abducting thousands of kids, massacring civilians, and destroying non military targets, and committing thousands of war crimes. Do you approve?

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

[@tallguy6055]

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.

[@josiprakonca2185]

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