Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the country has received its first batch of US-made F16 fighter jets, which Kyiv has been pleading its Western allies for. Speaking to reporters in front of several aircraft, Zelensky says “we made possible what was our ambition,” but adds that the number of F16s and trained pilots “is not enough.”

  1. The Russians are going to eat the F16s, this isnt iraq, if you dont think the Russians have been holding back, your in for a suprise

  2. And the technology will be reverse engineered and sold on the black market and more millions will disappear. It’s the most corrupt country out there.

  3. In the meantime ukraine has just been declared bankrupt. US plan completed, now they will get their natural resources for nothing

  4. Slava Ukraini Heroyam Slava🇱🇷❤️🇺🇦 I'm Reagan Repub., when I worked for him, he knew the importance of International Affairs. I’m sorry MAGA withheld everything you and your TROOPS have needed since end of 2023. Thank you President Biden, NATO and EU! Slava Ukraini Heroyam Slava and go get ‘em! G-d Bless all our troops!

  5. This is going to help how? Absolutely ridiculous. Please someone call for peace. Who’s flying these? Who’s controlling these? Who’s maintaining these? Not toys. More wasted US dollars and UK pounds.

  6. So they really think that they can train a rookie pilot in 6 months to fly a complex fighter jet, send them in to battle and they will trump experienced Russian combat pilots? There will certainly be flown by US "contractors "😂😂😂😂😂

  7. he is the one that started this war…NOT RUSSIA!!!!!! he Provoked them!!!! most of Crimea WAS a part of Russia before 1945. Russia reclaimed what used to be theirs.

  8. У русского оружия хватит возможностей чтоб уничтожить этот хлам вместе с аэродромами. Русское оружие лучшее в мире.

  9. These jets were ineffective on 9/11, some throttle malfunction made them fly at record low speeds. Maybe it’s fixed ?
