First Batch of F-16 Jets Arrive in Ukraine, Russia Warns of Major Escalation | Firstpost America
The first batch of long-awaited F-16 jets have arrived in Ukraine, Lithuania’s foreign minister and a US official confirmed on Wednesday, an effort Kyiv has said will help rebuild its depleted air force. F-16s, built by Lockheed Martin, have been on Ukraine’s wish list for a long time because of their destructive power and global availability. The F-16 specialises in suppressing enemy air defences. The West had hesitantly moved towards to provide the jets after concerns that arming Ukraine with advanced weaponry would further escalate the war with Russia. However, NATO members Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway agreed to donate a total of 50 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. Meanwhile, The U.S. has been training Ukrainian pilots on how to fly the jets and has already graduated the first group of pilots on its operation.

If Ukraine use f 16 jet fighter what happen to Russia?
Too little. It's too late and a dollar short. 😂
F-16 💪
The guy is demonic.the Russians must win.
Hard to believe they would start a necleur war over Nazi globalism.
Need expertism to fly these jets. Even a well trained pilots on these jets know how things work in real wars . Now that they have givein f16 for wars, they will start selling to other countires
It’s all a con. The defense industries get to replenish the US arsenal at taxpayer expense.
Also at higher prices. No doubt kickbacks to the Democrat Party as ‘donations’.
We’re being scammed !
Waste indeed, no one can win this war, poor tax payers all the money used for scams.
Right time for Russia to prove that F16 are useless
at the beninging, theres peace, but then, Ukrainia wanted to join nato, all hell break lose….
60 year old technology
🇺🇲
Wow !!! Tonka toys delivered !!! 🎅
Are these equipped with AI? If they are I am sure they will not say. "The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced on Feb. 13 that it successfully tested an F-16 test aircraft with an AI software that flew the aircraft for 17 hours.Feb 14, 2023"
Air superiority against who..😂😂😂
good morning
They shoukd donate F16 to India so that we can protect the world.
Russia always warn of escalation 🤡 so many red lines, only talk.
Another game changer 😂😂😂
Overpriced American junk lmao. Even Honda cars made in the US are crap compared to ones made in Japan.
We will soon see arshes!
With the Russian depth of air defenses, not sure how good they are compared to what Ukraine had at the start of the war. Russian FPVs are loitering and they can easily spot them when stationed and destroy also..
6 pilots 12 jets and a few boxes of parts. Barely enough for an air show let alone an air force. Don't worry tho Ukraine will weld some weird metal part to the air frame..to win the war
Russian will make it fireball on the sky
THIS IS NOT A BOOST BUT A DISASTER FOR UKRAINE. WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH RUSSIAN'S INTERGRATED AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS THAT IS SECOND TO NONE
Major escalation? So…nuclear weapons or bigger glide bombs. Because there's literally nothing else in the Russian arsenal that intimidates anyone.
Meanwhile in Ukraine:

Russia handed over 250 bodies of soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to KievIn return, Moscow received 38 bodies of Russian fighters.
Speaking about the number of bodies of Russian fighters, the channel emphasizes that they "were no more." Thus, the number of bodies of AFU soldiers is more than six and a half times higher than the number of bodies of Russian fighters. Whether this can say anything about the ratio of losses, information is not provided.
