  2. Instead of mak8ng peace nature is adding fuel to the fire I don't who win or looses this war all I care is innocent peoples who is not involved

  8. They may be older planes, but they can be used as a platform of nucleair weapons. Russia already announced they would see them as such. Ww3 underway

  11. This is useless…… I suspect Russia will destroy the F-16s as they have done to other NATO "Game Changing" weapons!
    Ukraine should simply seek a just peace with Russia (and not be used as a proxy for NATO aggression)!

  13. F16 capablety is not so strong against russia.russian air superiority is far advanced against F16 is not questionable.F16 may cause some destruction in interior part of russia.but not gamechanger

  22. Almost all running wats have been destroyed where will these f-16 jets base? Putin said any base outside Ukraine which will be used to launch attacks on Russia with automatically become legitimate target.

  23. After 50 – 60 pilots of F16s killed, what do USA and EU next ? F35 and new pilots ? Pilots from EU and USA ? OR what ?
