Ukraine To Receive First US-Made F-16 Jets In "Weeks" As Fighter Pilots Complete Training | Russia

- Ukraine is expected to receive its first F-16 fighter jets from its Western allies in June-July, said a high-ranking Ukrainian military source. However, it is yet to be ascertained which country would supply the F16 fighter jets to Ukraine. So far, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium have committed to sending F-16 jets to Ukraine. The Ukrainian military, facing Russia's full-scale February 2022 invasion, has been limited to a relatively small fleet of Soviet-era jets. For over two years of war, Ukraine has sought US-made F-16 fighter jets to counter Russia's air superiority.

Most people are actually looking forward to F16 exhibition in Moscow like we saw the Abrams, Leopards, Challenger tanks etc
We also have seen the captured Russian t90. Oh an don’t forget the t90, the supposed best tank in the world, was defeated by a Bradley. We have it on camera 😂
@@A_Derpy_NINJA and don't forget the "Invincible" Kinzhal, which the Patriot has shotdown. Now on display in Kyiv.
I don't think so. If they shoot down a F16 it will blow up once it hits the ground. They would have to steal it somehow.
Yeah pretty sure they are going to be disappointed
Contrary to popular belief
Ukraine doesnt need the F-16 to go blow for blow with the Russian air force
They need the F-16s ability to use virtually any western country weapons for air to ground targets
Russia is using jamming to disrupt JDAMs but the F-16 can use laser guided bombs which are immune to jamming
Since Ukraine destroyed 2 A-50 as well attacked several S-300 and S-400 sites
Russia's ability to maintain A2/D2 over Ukraine has been severely compromised
Note that you only captured downgraded variants of US armored vehicles - sensitive technologies have to be protected.

Another game-changer is set to become another source of shame
said game changer isnt gonna be up in the air confronting air targets though, its likely to do hit and runs where it closes a certain distance and drops a smart payload to go towards Crimea faster and larger distances. its a run tactic because the jet is too far from air defenses to be shot down. its only chance of being shot down is if russia deploys AA at the frontlines, its only use on the air combat role would be to go after strategic bombers that wander to deep but like what russia also does, ukraine will just do it also. its like expensive artillery for behind the line targets.
@@Chivalry2Clips And you haven't thought of the fact that after a sortie the F16 has to land somewhere? In a place that can and will be detected after which it will be destroyed (if it survives its mission)?

Depend. If you are in a life sentence, you get a better chance on the battlefield by putting your hands up and surrendering to Russia and you will be free after the war. No more prison sentence and you don't have to die.
So why did so many ruSSian prisoners go to certain death in Ukraine if it is better to stay in prison?
Ukraine can't even capture krinky. Now they want Crimea.
No way they will immediately allow rookie pilots to fly these jets so soon 😂 it will be flown by NATO pilots

Word is that the English-language training element for the Ukranian pilots has been a disaster, and thus, Western "mercenaries" will actually pilot these aircraft -- i.e., active-duty pilots who agree to take an "early retirement package." As well arises the question of what airfields will be suitable to deploy, rearm, refuel, and maintain these aircraft from. There are none such left in Ukraine. And if airfields in NATO nations are used for this purpose, they automatically become legitimate targets for Russian missile and airstrikes -- as the Russians have already repeatedly made abundantly clear.
Politicians watching too much TopGun.
Not just politicians but also civilians watching fantasy movie like top gun and living afar from reality. This Russia Ukraine war is not like any war they have seen before. It is in an absolute different league. usa, europe in the past have performed multiple airstrike before daring to land foot on the ground, this one is face to face, strategy, tactics each and every seconds, minutes changes as per changing situation.
They are training to die in the F-16. They want to go out in style.😂
Some years ago an F 16 was shot down by an Indian MIG 21 near India's border with Pakistan. Do they stand any chance with the latest Russian Fighters, or air defence systems?
These will launch from where??? Shame on these wesr fools
why does everyone forget ukraine still have active jets, they literally aren't gonna be sitting ducks awaiting a strategic weapon. by the time russia sees a plane its likely to reposition itself from ukraine radar and air guerilla tactics
The Su-35 radar sees targets at a distance of 400 km and the R-37 air-to-air missile has a range of over 300 km. The F-16, even the newest ones, will simply be shot from afar as if in a shooting gallery.
Hope this works. Nothing else is anymore. Sorry Europe. Peace from Canada.
Ukraine is a dead horse at this point
We've only just scratched the surface. If we chose to ramp up production we could give the Ukranians enough to do this without our troops being involved. Canada produced more Than 1 million artily shells PER MONTH during the last war with a despot.

Recapture krimea ?😂😂😂😂 und 😂 in selenskyj Film 🎥 😅😅😅
The sad thing is they don't care that Crimea doesn't want to be "recaptured" because it was never captured in the first place!!! The vast majority of Crimeans are ethnically Russians or Russophones and they voted to return under Moscow's rule a decade ago, after the coup d'etat in Kiev that installed ultra-nationalist anti-Russians in the government! The same thing that the USA is trying to do in Georgia now, by the way.
Crimea originally was Russian territory. It was late Nikita Kruschev who made it part of Ukraine for ease of administration as that country was part of Soviet Union.
Crimea Russian forever. Peace.
Lets cut to the facts. When this news is out the F16 were already in Ukraine 2 weeks ago...
😂😂😂😂😂😂 They are actually dreaming
Greenhorn pilots will only fly these .No way will an RAF pilot or a US airforce pilot fly these over ukraine . A death sentence with modern air defence systems .
Ukraine still flies older russian jets in Ukraine. They'l keep their distance like they do with the SU24s
What happened to the most anticipated with promo video of "shh" gesture of "spring-summer-autmn-winter counteroffensive"??
And this expert thinks, that if Ukraine destroy Crimea, that Russia will stop the war ? Or doublole down ?
whatever russia gets now, ulkraine will never get back as far as I can see
Crimea is Russian. Historically Russian.
First it was after Easter and now it's July? WTF?
You're just getting Ukraine deeper into trouble with these jets
This year will show many f 16s downed.... history will recorded.
May western forget ukarine against russi, not NATO VS farmer afghan and midle easr

If successful ...wich I doubt it... they're gonna say newest generation kick ass...if not oh they're d older generation,we took out the latest technology cuz bla bla...same waste of lifes shame on the west
used wisely with the right weapons the f16s could be an asset, but don,t expect miracles from any machine.
Goodbye Odessa
Yes. ruSSians say goodbye to Odesa - it will never be yours.
It's alway yours, nothing left standing , just stones and sands.
So hear we go again
If Putin valued Crimea, he shouldn't have rocked the boat.
The opposite is true. Putin knows exactly what needs to be done.
The advanced jets will probably have all the classified advanced tech taken out like everything else
Ukraine will never get Crimea back. And Russia doesn’t use Kerch bridge for military supplies anymore. Kiev has said this themselves use the new railroad they built
Slava Ukrainian soldiers🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤❤❤from the Philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I guess that losing Crimea would either mean the fall of the Russian Federation as we presently know it or set the inception of an appalling warfare way beyond what we've seen so far.
"Pilots are part of the problem. Of course, we also need to train ground personnel, that is, technicians. However, you also need to make the system and its weapons compatible with the 'friend-foe' identification system. Ukrainian air defense should not open fire on sight and should fire according to the signatures on the radar, against its own aircraft." "It is very important that he does not open fire."
Just like himars, atacm, Abram tanks; f-16 fighter jets will meet the same embarrassment in Ukraine. So these jets are no longer a big deal against RF.
Then, USA will say that F-16 is downgrade in their specialbility like precision missile 😂
You will be needing like 2000 f16 to be able to recapture Crimea
crux was supposed to be an expert in military analysis
Russia is gonna put it's very best pilots. It's Most experienced pilots To show nado in the rest of the world what can happen to their enemies

Any Russian Pilot would do.
As armas milagrosas para a Ucrânia eram os Leopard, mas os Leopard ficaram em exposição na Rússia.
De seguida eram os AMX , mas os AMX ficaram em exposição na Rússia.

Go go go ukraine its a shame for russia they could not even defeat the underpiwer ukraine what a shame
More support to Ukrainian
F15 is better than F16👍❤😁
Brilliant news for Ukraine 🇺🇦❤ 🇺🇦
When people will learn that there is no game changer in warfare? All platforms have its vulnerabilities and the way you mitigate them is by use them in combined tactical operations. The F16s are vulnerable to Russia’s S 300, S400 and other anti aircraft systems. Another problem that the Ukrainian have is that you can’t compress years of training in a few months. You can learn the basics but they will not be proficient. Plus, a few F16 will not make that difference when Russia have hundreds of equivalent and more advanced aircraft anyway.
*Vince McMahon theme plays*
You need soldiers if you want to defeat your enemy. Even F35 means nothing if you don't have soldiers to save Crimea. What happened to US army in Afganistan?
Save what? Crimea historically Russian.
People about 97% voted for rejoining Rus. Peace.
Big Ukraine used to be Russian. A fact.
Who said F -16 will play crucial role. What about Russian fighter plane better than F-16
Ukraine has sought US-made F-16 fighter jets to counter Russia's air superiority
S400 controls the sky’s
Gen 4 F-16s against Gen 5 Russian fighters?
Well, let us see if it can make a difference when detected by Russian radars
let them recapture Kherson first after that we will talk about Crimea because it's annoying to repeat such non sense over an over again
now that training is done for the rookies they can move to defeating the entire russian army by themselves right? lol
Like getting a well used car from your brother-in-law.
Noway
No use
F16s lost it's credibility is true
Battlefield scenarios r changed now
The terrain will part wont be that part then
This is nothing but testing Russian forces. If those F16 can't do much damage, the NATO will postpone their strategy of putting boots on the ground and reevaluate their next move.
these will never make it off the ground
If Ukraine had given its soldiers a choice and shown the reality of war and its losses, the Ukrainian army would have deserted long ago.
You think they havnt already
You know how irrelevant F16 is right now when Zelensky himself isn't begging the rush of F16s. Zelensky is instead begging for more ammunitions and patriot system.
"recapture" ? Crimea has always be russian, except during the first russian state in the IX th century, with Kiev as the first russian capital.
The nato tanks were supposed to be another game changers. Now, they are war trophies in moscow.
Who authorized this?
Remember this, F-35 was shutdown in Syria by s-200. F-16 is not a game changer but would help them in their counter offensive.
Well they said western tanks would penetrate right through all the way to Crimea, but that didnt happen did it? Cant wait to see what the F16's will do... tho yeah they are very good planes...
Remember the good old USA has been telling everyone they made the best equipment, planes, tanks, missles, etc. Etc. Since WW2, but their war record says different, only 1 win (Gulf) with help from god knews how many other nations, out of 6 major wars. Leaving (ha-ha) humilitated in Vietnam and Afghanistan to a bunch of sheperds with AK47's .
