Russia To Burn U.S' F-16 Jets In Ukraine? American Fighters Set To Make Entry Into War

Ukraine is all set to receive F-16 jets from United States within weeks. UK Daily Evening Standard, citing high-ranking military source, claimed that aircraft were due to be supplied to Kyiv either by June or July. However, it didn’t report which nation would supposedly deliver jets or the number of jets that Ukraine would receive.

The F16 is a fifty year old aircraft. The Russians will use them for target practice. When is the US and NATO going to understand that the war is lost for Ukraine?

[@franmaric4378]

do you really think they don't have the brain to understand that? I mean the real western leaders... one should only ask themselves what is the final product of whatever they are doing, and answer comes immediately - making ukraine fight to last man standing, that's their plan. Why? I have no idea

That's what they said with the Abrams, and just about every weapon the West supplied to Ukraine. It's laughable to think that 41 F16s can take on the whole Russian Air Force.

[@lancecahill5486]

Russia has a couple jet fighters that are comparable to the F-16: the MiG-35 and Su-35s. So it comes down to pilot training and experience as well as the use of AWACS (which the Ukrainians don’t have). It would be interesting to see these aircraft flying against each other. Then, again, every time Ukraine gets a new weapon system from NATO, it’s always hailed as a “game changer” that would turn the tide of the war. So far, none of them have done much for Ukraine.

[@chrissmith7669]

Russia is the only one that is rattling on and on about nuclear war. It is the one that provoked the conflict. It invaded. No one is threatening Russia with invasion.

Putin gave a bounty for first Abrams tank captured/killed as well as first Leopard tank, Bradley, etc. Will first kill be SAM or dogfight?

[@mikejones6065]

It certainly won't be by the Russian air force given how incapable they are of doing anything. By the way dogfights are a thing of the past except in the minds of Russians who don't have proper stand off weapons. NATO weapons can shoot down Russian planes like 100 miles before the Russians can even fire one back. By the wa7y those Abrams were 40 year old down armored customer models dug out of the scrap yard and still lasted several times longer than Russia's brand new tanks did on the battlefield. No one will ever buy weapons from Russia ever again.

[@koukimonzta]

This will not be taken lightly by Russia 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪💪

[@mikejones6065]

It\'s not like Russia can do anything about it. Putin wil threaten nuclear war again and everyone will ignore him and cross more red lines that Putin claims will trigger nuclear war. Just like the 5000 other red lined they have already crossed.

[@yorkshirelad3524]

A bit like how the abrams tanks were going to sweep to Moscow

[@mikejones6065]

The Abrams tank is over 40m years old, Still the US refused to send US models and sent 40m year old down armored customer models dug out of the scrapyard. Still those scrap models lasted several times longer on the battlefield than Russia's newest tanks. Of the abrams tanks that were destroyed over 80% were from friendly fire. The only sent a few dozen Russia lost thousands of tanks in the meantime. also the crews inside Abrams tanks survived unlike Russian tank crews that were launched into space. The US refused to send their models because they didn't want Russia to possibly capture one and learn how to build a tank that isn't garbage.

What happened to f16 in Vietnam with the used of s300 only

[@mikejones6065]

The F16 wasn't in Vietnam. Russian air defenses are incapable of shooting down anything unless you count Russian air force jets. Russia is quite good at shooting down their own jets. The Ukrainians destroyed 3 s-400s in Crimea like 2 weeks ago. Of course Putin announced the S500 2 days later. Enough time for a different color of paint to dry on a S400 which he now claims are new and improved. If it shot down anything that wasn't Russian it would be better than the S400

Do they even have pilots left? Or are these more NATO flying junk yard aircraft? Are the electronic countermeasures updated or will S400s be invisible to them? So many questions.
