Will F-16 fighter jets tip the balance in Ukraine’s favor in its war against Russia? DW News

In Ukraine, anticipation is growing over the imminent delivery of Western made F-16 fighter jets. They’re expected to arrive in the coming weeks from Denmark and the Netherlands. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the fighter jets will be a game changer in Ukraine’s military efforts to repel Russia’s invasion. But speculation is rife over where the F-16s will be based. Many Ukrainians are concerned that having the jets in their neighborhood could lead to intensified Russian attacks.

  1. F-16s will be on display in Moscow 🇷🇺, just like a ton of Western weapons we have on display 🇷🇺

  4. They should have been flying since April
    We are a few days off August so very late
    Plus they can't fly close to front too high is the risk of a shot down

  13. I smell fear in western minds and media. They always announce every weapon they want to give Ukraine.This f16s are garbage, they won't change anything.

  15. Guys: Ukraine has the full rights to also buy fighter jets for its air force to guard & defend its skies. More fighter jets is better like F-16, F-15, F-18, Gripen Sabb 39, Mirage, Rafale, Typhoon .

  18. Yeah DW, please do broadcast to the Russians where the F-16s will be parked. Care to provide the exact coordinates to them and date of arrival while you're at it?? 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

  22. Wow its amazing this new channel tells you how many planes and wbere they will be stored. Damn great cheat code only if the Russians were looking at this clip!

  24. Another gamechanger, Russians have thousands of plains and what did they achived? You think one hudred F-16 will make a difference. Pathetic

  27. NORA LYNCH OBITUARY DEATH USED TO WALK BY FAMILY HOUSE SONS I GO TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH MICHAEL LYNCH LIVES CHICAGO ILLINOIS JOEY LYNG LIVES AUSTIN TEXAS

  30. Weren't the Abrahams and leopards and himars and bradleys and nato firearms a game changer?
    How much time did the game got changed already?

  33. DW as an investigative news outlet should investigate how Germany and USA have colluded to slow down Ukraine help and to practically lead us to the situation where ruzzia has the upperhand, not unlike how they gave putler what he wanted for 2 decades. Don't look at the weak sanctions in 2014, Putin got to invade a lot more after that, Syria etc

  35. We have been hearing this ever since all delivered weapons were named game changers there is no where Russian missiles can not reach no air defence can stop the Iskander they will be distroyed no air defence can stop Russian missiles not to mention the Russian electronic war fare and air defence and air to air missiles those air defence are meat to the Iskander pin point strike

  36. If some F-16s made in the 1980s is the game changer,
    then Belgian can occupy Moscow, Singapore can takeover Asia.

  37. Everything he received its a game changer but when he loses them from Russian bombing he crys for different weapons, next he'll be asking for submarines and b52 bombers.

  47. 0:08 Kiev says 'game changer'. They also called Javelin, Bayraktar, HIMARS, NLAW, Switchblade, ATACMS and Patriot for game changers, but the game has not changed. They need many, many of F-16s, pilots to fly them, crews for maintenance, good armament – which they do not have/get.
