Also, its radar is better than the russian aircraft.

[@biggaysexyballs8035]

My eyesight is better than russian radar. 😂 Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

[@user-yj1on3bf1v]

false, the latest modification of the F16 has a radar worse than the SU-30SM, also the MIG-31 and SU-35 detect a target with RCS 3 square meters at a distance of 400 kilometers, AWACS a50 at a distance of 1000 kilometers. Russian aircraft have missiles with a range of 300 kilometers. US aircraft have no chance.

[@rpetit2079]

I wonder where those f16 are right now? Keep waiting.

[@jodycarter4837]

Very Good Response Biden 💯

[@kimberlyaccurso1921]

Finally! Stay strong you’ve got this! I am looking forward to your Victorious Day! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇸

[@rpetit2079]

Are those f16 there yet or are you still waiting?

[@righteousbyfaithinChrist]

Dear Ukraine: The people have supported the delivery of fighters for a year now...sorry its taken so long to be acknowledged. I would like the US to bring in other partners, such as Belgium??? Whoever has them? Let us include everyone who desires to be a part of thos victory!❤️🙏

[@Mike-zx1kx]

Sorry to tell you but it are USA that have blocked other nations from donating training and F 16´s! I guess your media, sadly, again, have failed to inform you correctly. Nation's like Denmark, Belgium, The Netherlands and more have been open to talks about donating F 16´s. Biden and Biden alone have been the showstopper for this! We are very happy in Europe that Biden finally caved. We all know POOtin have nukes and we all know he can drop them if the pushes the button. But that are out of our control. If POOtin wanna erase himself and the entire Russian nation by dropping nukes it are his choice just as it were his choice to illegally and unprovoked attack a free independent democratic nation. Personally I do not think we should stop with planes. I think we all should join this war immediately and throw these Russians back where they belong. We have an urgent climate crisis and energy transition to attend to and cannot spend years on POOtin´s nonsense. Let´s all join, kill the bastards not leaving and move on with our life´s. Enough Ukrainians have suffered. We could finish this inside 20 days.

[@shirleywright6879]

[@marksnyder8022]

Denmark and the Netherlands are on board. They may speed up infrastructure development and ground crew training. I think the Danes have already had a hand in pilot training.

[@JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

Awesome news. I hope the training is accelerated for more pilots. They need loads, so the pressure isn't just on the shoulders of a few. Glory to the Heroes UA.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

There are several other advantages to the F-16. But I'm not sure the AFU will get all the 'super secret sauce'. There will be plenty of advantage no matter what version they get.

[@tomschmidt381]

The other advantage with F-16's is they will be able to fly NATO munitions. True Ukraine has modified some of their Soviet era aircraft to fly western munitions but I think they do not fully their functionality.

[@treefiddy727]

AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles for one which has to be preprogrammed on a Fulcrum. Not so on an F-16.

[@nicktechnubyte1184]

Ukraine 🇺🇦 will soon become a fully united country again free from all russian interference and become a new member of the European Union 🇪🇺 and NATO while the entire russian dictatorship will be completely dissolved, stripped of their nuclear weapons, and russia will be turned into separate smaller countries with no military power whatsoever! Glory to all the brave people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 and all those who support them against the tyrannical dictatorship of russia! SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦!!!!

[@Ukie88]

One can only hope🇺🇦🇨🇦

[@denisheath5681]

Unfortunately the 5 or 6 new Russian speaking States will probably all have nukes and some will probably have evil, murderous dictators, like Stalin and Putin. Also Ukraine needs to work harder at eliminating corruption, and confiscation the assets of those convicted, for use in the war effort. Western countries need to agree to liquidate their overseas assets, and return the funds to Ukraine for use in the war effort. Ukraine will become a NATO member, but not a EU member, until it does a much better job at eliminating corruption. 🤔

[@blazjurgec5260]

You will all be gone by then.

Never thank Biden he's the reason Putin invaded Ukraine...

[@cylentone]

As far as I know, there are many former F-16 pilots who have volunteered to fly for Ukraine. The F-16 is more interesting for Ukraine because of its advanced weapon systems than dogfighting - that's why they want them = air defence (ballistic missiles, drones, etc.).

[@rpetit2079]

Are those f16 there yet? Keep waiting.

[@T_Boz1]

Sorry, did you Ukrainian pilots are trained or training? There is a huge difference.

[@andreasahrhaus9309]

O.K. If ukrainien pilots are ALREADY trained on a level to get in action, there are two posibilities. First: Delivering F-16 was decided since at least half a year. Otherwise the training couldn´t be finished yet. Second, just imagine: One day it shows that the pilots are actual NOT UKRAINIAN.

[@landser8616]

Next delivery nukes, Biden said

[@Ryan_Revier]

Don't bring up high hope cause all of the NATO still using the F-16s and by the matter of fact, only Australia could give a full answer to Ukraine will fully use for the Ukrainian Air Forces as they will need to get it after mastering the abilities to fly the F-18 and Australia will acquired to get a new F-35 from the US after the deals is made..so no more pushing for the F-16 since it still on contract on all NATO allies.

[@cdubb642]

Kick their ass Putin

[@andyfr4072]

Who will give the F16 to Ukraine?

[@maninredhelm]

I hope one of these weapon transfers lives up to the hype. So far only HIMARS has made a lasting impact.

[@treefiddy727]

Only HIMARS? NLAWs, Javelins, Caesar, Gepards, M777, etc etc have all had a lasting impact

Ukraine WILL HAVE F16: When Will They Arrive? You all did not answer the question! So why have it as TITle

[@biggaysexyballs8035]

Soon. I heard a matter of months. Probably sooner.

[@debo750]

Russia is on the right side of history.

[@rds283]

Is it true Pakistan army or mercenary will fly f16 jets in Ukraine??..

[@marvinegreen]

15 of the 40 hours I have in a Cessna 150 were solo hours. That took me 6 months. When will the F-16s arrive? Better to ask when the pilots will complete training. When will the Ukrainian S300s be configured to NOT shoot the F-16s. When will communication with every soldier/unit with manpads be in sufficient timely communication to not shoot F-16s down? When will maintenance equipment and trained ground crews arrive? The more complex the system the more time required to do it right. TimeLines can be accelerated but not eliminated.

[@Mike-zx1kx]

Ukraine have very skilled fighter pilots. It´s not like they need to learn what an aileron are. They need to be trained to the F 16´s as a type rating. I am sure their pilots are motivated to be trained in weekends as well. Let them eat and sleep in the sim for a month and then do the same in the air and they are good to go.

[@stischer47]

The US military has said that its taking the Ukrainian pilots are learning how to fly the F16s in 4 months or less, some in 2 months. They will be coming once the support infrastructure is in place. Plus the pilots have been training in simulators for at least 2 months. Are you truly comparing yourself to a Ukrainian fighter pilot because you have soloed in a Cessna150?

[@user-yj1on3bf1v]

in ukraine there is not a single airfield for NATO standards, the f16 wheel will come off on the first landing. f16 in the best modification are not able to detect a target at a distance of 200 kilometers, they are worse than the SU-30SM. The MiG31 and Su-35 also see targets of this size at a distance of 400 kilometers. The Russians are armed with R37M missiles with a range of 300 kilometers. S400 long-range missiles with the ability to intercept targets beyond the horizon. It will be a funny show, soon you will see how the American trash will be destroyed.

[@marvinegreen]

@@user-yj1on3bf1v You make some points worth considering - except for the excessive estrogen of the last line. I was wondering if the fuel and connectors that the MIG-29s use were even compatible. Also the F-16s low air intakes mean the runways and taxi ways need to be kept squeaky clean to avoid ruining the engines. People tend to underestimate the pyramid of infrastructure that lays below most "technological wonders".

[@user-yj1on3bf1v]

@@marvinegreen there is no selfishness here, that is what you will see. F16 even in the new modification has no chance there. Aviation and air defense of Russia sees all targets there. These planes will not be in Ukraine, but in Poland, and I think there will be US or NATO pilots. And it will be possible to strike these planes from the territory of Belarus.

[@blazjurgec5260]

You will doomed us all.

[@stuffbywoody5497]

So, when will Ukraine get the rest of the promised equipment and ammunition promised to them?

[@admilsonoo7]

Yeah, I refuse to accept that, where some people said that an invader of a smaller country side is the right and taking it by force is correct and normal... Because people have died, wars and invasions will become the new normal....And There will be new invasions. .. China wants to invade and take Taiwan By force, North Korea wants to attack South Korea or Japan. All this because we accept it very well... People accept it well when a bigger country like Russia invades a smaller one. We will have several wars because Russia is right to invade and kill people in Ukraine another country... Because you hate the USA.

[@employeeofthemonth1]

The answer is in a year. Coincidentally, this decision should have been taken a year ago in which case the answer would have been now.

[@marksnyder8022]

F-16 is not the world's best plane. It may not be the best plane available. It was built to function in a different doctrine than the Soviet/Ruzzian system. It has evolved into am capable jack-of-all-trades fighter that can beat just about anything Ruzzia can field. And it exists in numbers. Smaller countries who fly it as their front line fighter can help bring Ukrainian pilots along so that they can use it in a similar way. In the US Air Force it sometimes gets looked at almost as a CAS plane.

[@user-yj1on3bf1v]

false, the latest modification of the F16 has a radar worse than the SU-30SM, also the MIG-31 and SU-35 detect a target with RCS 3 square meters at a distance of 400 kilometers, AWACS a50 at a distance of 1000 kilometers. Russian aircraft have missiles with a range of 300 kilometers. US aircraft have no chance. How are you going to defeat the Russians? Clowns.

[@tonyyarbray]

they have to train on them first...i thought at some point some Ukrainians trained early on thinking maybe down the line but maybe that was for some other aviation training... in the mean time they should figure out away to retro fit some more actual modern weaponry guidance and detection electronics onto their old russian and soviet pieces of junk they have that could be more effective against the russian's old russian and soviet pieces of junk they have like they did with various bombs and the storm shadow

Unless the F-16 aircraft, flight & ground crews, ordinance mix, fighter base defences, intelligence networks, logistics, etc., are significantly superior, the plan will not have, nor be able to sustain the air superiority punch everyone is hoping for.
