  1. russian news is saying that the war will depend on the outcome of the upcoming air battle. if the F16s can take down the SU-34s this could be the end of the russian invasion. they say the battle will happen at the end of july and the AFU is saving up weapons (ADA and long range rockets) for that battle

  4. Sounds like they’re trying to bait F-16s into coming into range of MIG-31s or S-400 air defences. Unless Ukraine is about to do something crazy, they will unlikely be anywhere near enough to be targeting SU-34s.

  5. I wish, however I doubt a news agency has the necessary military knowledge nor interior connections to do such a prediction.

    It would still be nice for Ukraine to have air superiority, this would bring a world of hurt against the russians.

  6. shady sources on twitter that declare the scheduled date for an air battle and declare it as the deciding factor in the war, eh?

    No red flags there.

  7. The end comes when Putin’s serfs are ejected from Ukraine and what’s left of his wannabe tsardom pays up. Whether he’s alive when it happens is of little consequence. These false all-or-nothing narratives are straight attempts to reduce Ukraine’s will to resist and contest, nothing more.

    What happens to those calling themselves “Russians” is in their hands. Ukrainian will do as they must with whatever means they have as long as it takes to realize their goals. This and not some other way. Certainly not the Kremlin’s.

  9. Between F-16s arriving in theater and a Biden re-election this could be the 1-2 punch that ends Putins reign.

  10. Are they actually… boiling down the outcome of this conflict on a large scale ww2 style air battle Ala Britain and Kursk?

  11. Will the F16 be equipped with some modern missiles like sm6?

  12. I love how ludicrously wrong this is. No an air war ain’t happening. We won’t see f16 vs su34.

    Ukraine can’t risk the few pilots it has and limited frames in risky missions.

    They will be intercepting Russian cruise missles, chucking long-range glide bombs, and flying stormshadow up to launch.

  13. This is kind of true. Since the begining UAF are fighting under russians air superiority. If they manage to get it, it will be really powerfull on the battlefield.

  15. This guy is one of the biggest clowns on Twitter. Nobody takes him seriously. I wish this was the case but it isn’t and will create false hopes.

    The F16s will be a small upgrade to existing airframes. It’s about a long term commitment but mainly replenishing lost resources.

    30 pilots aren’t going to make a big difference unfortunately except increasing the range of weapons available which will hopefully help reduce the glide bombing and increase air defense capabilities.

  16. War will be over once Trump isn’t re-elected, that’s it. At that point, China will have to rethink its approach and just maybe conducts special military operation to help Chinese minority bullied by russian extremists in “unprotected and badly policed” border regions. And they will never leave…russian state knows this so chances are putin will have very little time left at that point.

  17. Does anyone have any stats on the largest air presence of Russia since the war began?

    Not what Russias air fleet is, but the largest amount of planes in the sky over Ukraine has been?

  18. This sounds like the sort of stuff that was popular for “armageddon” churches to spew in the 90s…about the conflict between God and Satan.

    I never understood why there would be a mortal fight to the death between immortal beings, especially If God is so powerful as to speak things in and out of existence and just has to say “ok yeah you no longer exist Satan, you’ve shown everyone what you’re made of…poof you’re in hell or dead or whatever”…but…I wasn’t the one writing the sermons. Some even went further and had humans divided along theological lines and battling alongside the angels/demons/etc – just bizarre stuff. As if we could use artillery against demons because … I don’t get it either.

    Anyway. Is Putin telegraphing that there will be a battle? Or is he expecting that when this ‘battle’ never happens that NATO got scared and backed down (or something)? Or is he setting the public up to accept a Russian loss if/when it happens? Or if Russia wins, that he warned everyone and “see I know what I’m talking about!”?

  19. If Russia controlled the skies, they wouldn’t be relying on occasional missile barrages to remind us that they do have a memory of how airborne weaponry is supposed to work.

  20. What if they are planning for a controled defeat? 🤔
    What if tjey will hype up the importance of this “Air battle” then say they lost it and that it’s time to pack things up.
    Surely not I know but let a man dream..

  21. And they all should only use auto cannons! The war will be decided in WW1 style dogfight!

  22. Well I guess it’s closing time for Russia then. Pack it up head home you have it your best 😂😂
