Look into Russian airborne radar and you’ll understand why the US military never felt threatened for 24+ years. They are just starting to felid their first airborne Aesa in the su57. Not only that to read up on Egypt testing Su35s and Rafale’s to buy them. The Rafale made the Irbis-e PESA on the Su35 useless with its EW suite. It had first look, first shot, and first kill against the Su35s every-time when it’s ECM was on. After seeing what Israel did to Iranian IADS it’s safe to say whoever dominates the EM spectrum wins the war.

This is true. F16's can reach out and touch you from many miles away... no dogfighting required!!

[@davemccrillis1470]

The problem I have with this story is Ukraine not talking. They act like arrogant nfl players spiking the ball and dancing in the end zone about everything and have since day one.

[@robinblankenship9234]

An American F-16 pilot told me that, against the F-22, his plane was completely helpless.

[@kcmkwhite1]

Newer generation. The 22 is about to be retired it had lots of problems with materials and oxygen in the begining. Better jet today.

[@OtoyaYamaguchi-i1b]

True. Same for the F-15. Raptors still dominate the skies 20 years later. You can't defend against an enemy you can't see or detect.

[@scottd9448]

It's 34 years old though, with few upgrades. The Soviets knew how to build amazing aircraft, but the end of the union ended the might of Russia.

[@Picasso_305]

Apparently the FU 24 was over hyped

[@thomasshepard6030]

The F16 falcon might be old but it’s still 100% better than any modern Russian fighters

[@johndyson4109]

The F-16 is also the KING of the RATE fight...

[@Biggles732]

If su44 is steathily downed by a standoff unseen F-16, then it's not called a dogfight

[@richardotier6820]

What's the mystery? The Su-34 has been one of Russia's most heavily lost combat aircraft. The Oryx website, which keeps an up-to-date list of aircraft lost by both sides, lists at least 35 of these attack planes lost, including shootdowns and accidents. (Oct 14, 2024) A Patriot surface-to-air missile system is also a candidate for SU-34 shootdowns.

[@justsayen2024]

Those F-16s came from European NATO countries.

[@yannduchnock]

The F-16 was significantly overtaken by the more recent aircraft. For exemple, the Rafale is much superior, including maintenance.

[@Conservator.]

The range of the radars and the missiles are crucial. Omitting them makes mentioning of these systems useless.

[@YepTriedToTellYou]

The U.S. built 4630 F-16s and operates only around 800 or so. There is a near-unlimited supply of them.

[@Oleksiy777]

1. We are talking about a couple dozen F16 in total given to Ukraine, against 500 jets remaining in Russia. 2. F16 nowadays routinely perform Russian missile and Shahed drone hunting missions, striking them down almost every day. 3. F16 which were given to Ukraine, are not exactly "new" plains. Most of them are given because they are being decommissioned from service in EU countries. And they are far from being in top configuration, i.e. not fully modernized. So what outcome do you expect? They are already doing in Ukraine more than thinkable. But don't expect them to win the war, crush the entire Russian Ari force, etc.

[@mikesuch9021]

Would not accept a brand new one in pristine condition. Aircraft will be obsolete in 2 years

[@robertw5316]

As they say "The first casualty of war is Truth". Therefore I take both sides of the argument with a big grain of the proverbial salt.

[@noreply5461]

Comparing a fighter with a tactical bomber is just stupid. Of course the F-16 fighter outperforms any given tactically bomber in a dog fight. This is absolute nonsense.

[@cerescop]

Nothing new, Turkey shot down a Su34 during the Syrian war with a F-16.

[@ig8083]

F-16 can definitely take down an Su-34 with the right pilot in a dogfight situation. How many pilots does Ukraine have to do that? They just got the planes and now they are top gun? It takes time, or talent which could very well be.. I guess. Time will reveal all...

[@darrencorrigan8505]

Thanks, Tech.

[@bbivens8263]

So,... If Ukrainian pilots don`t have enough seat time to properly use an F-16, that begs the question of "who" is actually flying them into combat? There are many, many, former experienced pilots that could get paid really well as mercenaries. The CIA has often requested "temporary" duty of certain Special Ops Forces members for some of their missions, where they are actually spies because they are out of uniform. Whoever is flying these F-16`s, and getting SU-34`s, is most likely NOT a Ukrainian. An F-16 is a LOT of money to waste on inexperienced pilots.

[@allengreg5447]

Cats' easy-going attitude masks a sense of hidden power. Their relaxed, indifferent demeanor suggests they possess formidable, untapped abilities, creating an aura of mystery and respect. It's as if they're saying, "Don't underestimate me-I have skills you'll only see if I choose to reveal them.

[@michaelmoorrees3585]

3:23 - Actually, no. The F16 was to supplement, the F15. The F15 was originally intended as the air superiority fighter, while the less expensive, F16, from the start was lower cost multirole fighter, that could also attack ground targets. That's how the Israelis used them to destroy Iraq's nuclear facility, for making weapons grade materials. Over the decades though, later variants of both aircraft, equipped them for roles, never imaged, way back when.

[@YepTriedToTellYou]

Agility and tactics are tops.

[@jonathanwalda811]

no money no weapons for Ukraine

[@martensjd]

What are the planes at 8:20 that resemble F-111s?

[@odonovan]

3:28 - HINT: That's NOT an F-16.

[@christopheralan4845]

and... which part was I not supposed to see?

[@theeddorian]

The SU-34 can't be nearly as stealthy as claimed. Those visible rivets and other breaks are readily detected.

[@davidmartin4683]

Not a hawk but a Falcon

[@raymondantell8368]

The way I see it is that an airplane is only as good as its pilot. Sure a more advanced newest latest tech craft will have an advantage, but a pilot that can pull several 9G turns without blacking out will have the upper hand.
