    Anders, kudos for your comprehensive analysis of Putin's Xmas parade of jet fighter aircraft losses. Russia also has lost 200 Pilots since the start of Putin’s SMO and the number of trained replacements has dwindled. The Dutch disclosure that Ukraine is about to receive 18 F-16s has spawned a wave of F-16-aphobia in Russia. In response to the recent shoot-downs, Russia’s Ministry of Defense immediately launched its obligatory epistimological-warfare epistle, claiming they shot down six F-16s, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.

    One moore thought from me. Some former F-16 pilots have said that they would fly F-16 in Ukraine if they would have the oppertunity to do so.

    • @MarcosElMalo2
      @MarcosElMalo2 5 місяців тому +31

      That’s very low probability, but not impossible.
      I assume you mean retired pilots, not pilots currently flying for their respective air forces. There is zero chance of a pilot actively flying for his country’s armed forces to be detached to the Ukrainian Air Force to participate in hostilities. That would be escalatory and the same as a declaration of war.
      Even retired F-16 pilots would be an excuse for the Russians to escalate if it was discovered. This is why I think it is low probability we will see it happen. Using non-Ukrainian pilots is unnecessary. The Ukrainian AF does not have a pilot shortage. It has an aircraft shortage. Furthermore, if reports are to be believed, experienced Ukrainian pilots have been training on the F-16 over the past year. So there is very little benefit to taking the risk of escalation.
      However, there is a factor that raises the probability. These missions are being flown well behind the frontlines, so there would be very little chance of a foreign retired pilot being shot down over Russian held territory. If the Russians managed to shoot down an aircraft with such a pilot, the Russians wouldn’t be able to capture the pilot or recover their body. They wouldn’t have proof of this sort of foreign intervention.
      I think we can rule it out your suggestion, but we can’t completely rule it out. And we can’t rule it out going forward if the situation changes.

      I agree, but since there is no “war” per Russia, the chance of it being a “declaration of war” seems less.
      Also, while I am able to believe that Ukrainian pilots are skillful, one year in-type would not be nearly as effective as a veteran Viper pilot.

    Yes, the first episode is easily explainable, but the last one near Mariupol is harder to fit the Patriot story. We saw a couple of weeks ago Germany announce giving Ukraine its 3rd Patriot battery, so it makes sense they would have put in in Mikolaiv where it can at least partially cover several cities (and the flight path for Black Sea-launcher cruise missiles ) and the front line near the river. At first operation it would have caught the Russians by surprise. There is a history of not announcing things until after first use. There may well be a couple of F16s delivered first for in country testing before the bulk get delivered.

    He nailed it again.
    Announcing the delivery of F-16 is stupid in military means cos enemy would have an invitation to look for it.
    If they appear, they would always appear with abuse of surprise effect.
    Now, the Russinas do pose the same questions like Anders does and we do. That's good.
    Don't forget that Ukraine installed a program for foreign volounteer pilots long ago. The best posibility ever that I see is that experienced pilots are already sitting in the jets
    and are able to get the maximum effect out of them.
