At an airbase in Denmark, the Danish Air Force has been training six Ukrainian fighter pilots to fly the F-16 Fighting Falcon using the Danish, Norwegian, and Belgian Air Force fighter jets.
A coalition of NATO Allies, including Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, has agreed to donate their F-16s to the Ukrainian Air Force. As part of the deal, Danish instructors at Skrydstrup Air Base train Ukrainian pilots, technicians, and ground crew how to fly and maintain the F-16.
The Ukrainian pilots are praised for the F-16, noting its responsive controls and agile flight features.
Thanks for watching.
Hope you enjoy it !!

#ukrainewar #ukrainef16 #ukraineairforce #Russia panics: Ukrainian pilots ace F-16 training program - VÄda a technologie
Putin must know his rhetoric is escalation on its own because Ukraine is not a nuclear power. He knows just because the F-16s are nuclear payload capable, does not mean Ukraine is capable. US or NATO would not re introduce nuclear capability with Ukrainians. Nuclear weapons are only limited to countries that have a nuclear weapons program. Nukes are not a weapon just handed out to every allies. That would be irresponsible. Unlike the Soviets that gave this technology to the Chinese and North Korea and has helped the India and Pakistan and is helping Iran to develop this technology.
Putin is using what excuses he wants to talk nukish...
Nonsense. The psychos in DC want a nuclear conflict any way they can get it.
Nukes are worthless in warfare - all itâs good for is propaganda of âI have a big stickâ.
Things are catastrophic! whatever they need should be given to them!!! Right now they are fighting and dying for us!
Not sure Putin cares abotu that, he will continue to push the same narritive, the message is more for his allies.

@@duartesimoes508 Prawidlowo
Everyone rages about Germany not sending the Taurus missile, but it's not the only variant. The Storm Shadow and Scalp missiles sent by the British and French are the short range versions. Neither of these countries how allowed the long ranger version to go to Ukraine either. I note this because when you look at the second highest donor of military aid to Ukraine, it is Germany. When you look at all the words coming from Emmanuel Macron, one could be easily fooled into thinking he's ready to send the French army, and yet the French have sent so little and Macron even shamefully went to Putin's most recent inauguration.
@@duartesimoes508 There's an issue beyond that. The site a lot were stored in was found to have grown mould throughout the batch and there's a severe issue in that they may not launch off a wing or worse. However, see my other comment about the British and French options that are available.

at the beginning of the war, there were cases when a pair of Ukrainian fighters entered into battle against twelve fascist ones. losses of 3 fascist SU-35s (the rest fled from the battlefield), against 1 Ukrainian SU-27. And this is in an air battle, without air defense. Now fascist planes do not enter Ukrainian airspace. They throw bombs at a great distance from the front line.
You bombed and destroyed Ukraine's cities and then you are saying provocation. Unbelievable mentality.

It's my understanding that Ukraine may need to increase its standards when it comes to runway maintenance. The F-16 has quite an aggressive air intake.
That's why I thought the F18 was a better proposition... it can land on roads and highways etc... but hey, what do I know.
Yeah it's more of a problem with the low slung intake but good roads that have been swept for FOD can be used.
Its not like they will station them at the previously bombed airports near the Russian border, im sure they will be flying them from a well maintained airport somewhere deeper in Ukraine.
just needs to be clean. No gravel or loose asphalt.

Danes support Ukraina and Lietuva.
From hears from a Danish Fighter Pilot, Ukrainian has skills like no other.
Thats its a must to help Ukrain. Now and in the future.
Slava Ukrain.
Seems more likely that the F-16 will first replace the Su-24 as a missile truck for long range weapons such as Storm Shadow. The Su-24 are the oldest and least numerous fighters that Ukraine has in service.
After that, phasing out the Su-25 ground attack fighters would make sense because they are the most vulnerable and tactics can shift to somewhat longer ranges using glide bombs instead of rockets.
MiG-29 and Su-27 models that Ukraine has are dated but still serviceable in some roles. They tend to have more limited capabilities than the F-16 for beyond visual range air to air combat in particular but the Su-24 and Su-25 are much worse for air to air as they are designed almost entirely for ground attack. F-16, MiG-29, and Su-27 are all multirole fighters that can either be used for air to air or air to ground as needed.
F-16 will become their best fighter for both air to air and air to ground roles. The question is which role is in more urgent need of an upgrade for the most common missions. Most missions for fighters in modern fighter combat are air to ground.
The F-16s will also probably get some air to air kills but I suspect that this will just push Russian fighters to launch weapons from further away inside Russia, where it would be risky to chase them inside the Russian air defenses.
That plus it will play a role in air defence, intercepting cruise missiles
F16 cannot replace SU24âs because they ate unable to carry heavy weapons like SCALP missilesâŠas i known, the only light fighter able to carry it is the Mirage 2000âŠ
@@leneanderthalien if that's the case, it would explain the recent purchase of around 80 soviet aircraft from Kazakhstan by the USA.
@@leneanderthalien also... I believe the Mirage was offered to Ukraine. I'm not sure why there's no news on that front
Russiaâs air defense?? That is laughable considering how often and deep Ukraine has been able to strike into Russia. Ukraine has been shaping the battlefield to get ready for the f-16âs. They have been consistently hitting their air defenses.
Remember that, prior to the collapse of the USSR, nuclear weapons were stored in Ukraine. In order to coerce Ukraine to have these weapons removed, the Budapest Memorandum which "prohibited Russia, the United States and the United Kingdom from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine". As usual, Russia totally ignored the agreement.
And nato totally ignored the promise not to expand eastward.

As an avid Flight sim addict for 30+ years, the F-16 is still a thing of beauty, form & function. Not saying that the Su-27 and its derivatives are not a graceful, bird to look at, also a great airframe worthy of acclaim. Just not user-friendly.

I think that a better idea would be for the western governments to make it known that they will not persecute any of their retired pilots and ground crew who would form "volunteer squadrons" modeled on the "Flying Tigers" in WWII and the various other volunteer squadrons in WWI and II. They would form the core of the new squadrons, providing experience and and mentoring and guidance for the new Ukrainian pilots.
The russian planes can be modified to carry western weapons, but they do not have the electronics to support the full functionality, the full feature sets, of those weapons! The F-16 does.
Great footage, however, I wonder whether this information can not be used by Russia against Ukraine?
Good work Denmark! I read they were getting Block 15 which are pretty old. Dows anyone know what upgrades have been done?

I have to question the generalâs take that those Danish F-16s are competitive to the most current combat aircraft. Those were Block 20/30 air frames, even with upgrades. Thereâs a reason why Denmark ordered and received F-35s.
While the F-16 is superior to the F-35 in BFM. The current Danish F-16s are lack the avionics, EW suite & BVR capabilities of the F-35. As such, the F-35 is replacing their F-16s and this allows Denmark to give them for free to Ukraine.
Now, I donât see a time when anyone will give Ukraine free F-16V Block 70s. The most current, modern F-16. Superior radar, long range, better avionics, etc.

what about ground crew and weapons techs and like .. who trains them ... I heard somewhere that the ratio btw pilot and support crew for the plane is at least 1:20 . And for a ground crew a whole lot less people can speak english or other languages to be trained easily ... that is going to ba a monumental tasks. Without sufficient ground support the planes are no more than expensive "meta;l"
