Ukraine Can Fly Only 3 F-16s From First Batch, Russia Says Jets “No Silver Bullet, Will Be Downed”
The first batch of long-awaited F-16 jets have arrived in Ukraine, Lithuania’s foreign minister and a United States official have said, an effort Kyiv has said will help rebuild its depleted air force.
Ukraine has been eager to acquire F-16s, built by Lockheed Martin, because of their destructive power and global availability. The fighter jet is equipped with a 20mm cannon and can carry bombs, rockets and missiles.

Some quarters seem to proceed on the mistaken belief that F16s are a novelty to Russia…. open your minds and check out the conflict sector of the Middle East and you might come out informed that Russia is indeed fully conversant with this combat aircraft… which as has been the case with literally each and every military system that the Western Axis has introduced into the Ukrainian sector, is currently being over hyped in terms of its efficacy!!
zalynski is a punk that needs to be put on the front lines then we would see what shes made of
How many russian fighters were shot down since the beginning of the agression on Ukraine!
Russia has known these planes for 40+ years… And Russia has been preparing for them in Ukraine for 1.5 years. They are nothing that Russia isn't prepared to handle.
soon someone will have nowhere to hide
6 not 3
12 pilots were ready
So 6 not 3
And yes this channel is clearly ruzzian supportive
Tant que les russes se gaussent d’illusions, ils sont faciles à abattre.
surtout qu’ils continuent comme ça.
no more propaganda about fighter jets. TIME FOR REALITIES❤
Who is to say that they are there just because the Americans say they are. More likely the are imminently pending. Just guessing
guys, f16 was never meant to be a game changer, its just a way for countries to sell their old weapons/equipment so that they have a legitimate reason to use the taxpayers money on the newest jets while also sinking ukraine in debt for like the next 100 years. a preety nice planned scheme by usa/nato….USA is cashing in on this war just like most other wars on weapon sales and sanctioning russia so EU needs to buy 5x more expensive oil from usa instead
Why is Putin so concerned about them then .
russia has no tanks or planes left..and we know the russian navy is on the bottom of the black sea… Slava Ukraine
The Ghost of Kyiv most certainly will get one.
Go operations up to down on map i sideways from west
Ukraine once had an entire airforce of their own but dont worry a handful of f16's will do what they could not right?
Woowwwee,, 😂😂😂😂😂 tired of THE western zionist jokes😂🎉😅 losers, factors of bollywood
shame china and rusia vs world
And while everyone else is excited about the F-16 Russia's Putin says bring it on, what an escalation, let's wait and see or maybe we'll see nothing because the nuclear war is about to happen
What can 3 F16 do against 100+ S35, 100+SU 30SM, 100+ S 34, 100+ MIG 31, S300, S400, S350, BUK M2/3 ???????? NO MUCH
“Silver Target”, definitely not silver bullets 😂
Beware of the Iskander.
Ghost 👻 Kyiv
I wish US had F16 jets before !!!! so they wouldn't lost the war in Afghanistan
Ukraine is relaying only on western weapon, asking help in the war of Russia it's make disasters for Ukrainians to fight with Russian.
They wont overwhelm the Russian airforce, but that can control areas that are important to them.
3 for testing S400 S500
Why don't we just lend lease the some F-35's it's a POS but it's better equipped then the f-16 and we have already sold half the world the f-35
What Russia "says" is irrelevant.
Ukraine Just War ki Ground hay, Nato, Russia ko Weak kar k Russia per Massive attack kar Day ga
entire nato country vs 1 russia. still nato is losing. this is hilarious
No lesson from kosovo war😂😂😂
It’s funny we’ve heard nothing from Putin about the planes, his trolls are out in force all over the internet while hiding from the war they comment bs
I can’t stop laughing at those Pro-Russians bots, especially when they try to impress everyone with “their knowledge“ lmfao 😂
Do NOT believe strangers on the internet ! Do not let them tell you who’s going to win or not !
Because at the end, they are still in their beds butt naked, in a secure place with no understandingexperience of war whatsoever
Zelensky drive whit his Bugatti next hi bey helycopter to shoping by the super market 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hora Hora for Putin 👌👌👌
The Dutch MP Rutte wanted the Job from Stoltenberg at NATO, that's why he gave Ukraine the Old Timer F16 who belonged into the museum. 1 hour fly means 2 weeks maintenance. Anyway the choice to give away oldtimers belong intire by Mark Rutte, the new and dangerous NATO guy.
Zele wants to indebt his country as much as possible to the US & NATO. The aid given to him will plunge his country into deeper shit when the time for REPAYMENT is due!! And I believe that will greatly increase his share (maybe deposited in US banks).
Imagine capturing these F16 by russians❤
Duck shoots.
Background music name?
In its most advanced form flown by a fully trained pilot in the role the plane was deigned for it's a capable perhaps even dominating aircraft. None of those things will be true for it's use by Ukraine. Still, who says Russian personnel are equipped to negate any benefit from having the plane in the conflict ?
