This summer...? It had to be this week
Has to be summer the ... we need clear skies😂😂
Black misery is spreading in Russia, the Russian minimum wage is less than 160 euros, i.e. less than in 10 African countries, and food prices are skyrocketing: butter is a delirious 1,000 rubles a kg, i.e. a tenth of the salary of many Russians. So immense anger is rising against the Putin dictator. Putin-ceaucescu could fall any day now in a palace revolution. Putin has ruined Russia. The fortunes of the oligarchs are being seized all over the world, even in Dubai, and now they're being transferred to Ukraine to pay for Putin's destruction. This is unprecedented in history. Hundreds of billions of Russian funds will be paid to Ukraine.... and it's no doubt the ruined oligarchs who will precipitate the fall of the dictator Putin, hoping to recover part of their fortune in the process. The signal for the end of Putin will be the destruction of the Crimean bridge. The Russians will then be certain that Putin has lost his absurd war: isolated, Crimea will fall by atrition like Kherson, with no ammunition, no oil, no supplies and even no drinking water - all Crimean drinking water comes via the bridge or the very long and fragile railroad line, which is easy to cut. The Russian generals will hand Putin over to the ICC. The Russian generals will put the weight of the defeat and the army's crimes on his back. It's a classic ending to a dictatorship: the Russians will say they had to obey putin.

@@OhgodImtoosexy I've heard our local pilots from Wisconsin have been training them for a year now. Hopefully it shifts the tide.
In Budapest 1994 USA, UK and Russia promised to protect Ukraine when it handed over its nuclear weapons to Russia. USA and UK keep their promises and deliver fighter jets to Ukraine when it is threatened. Russia broke its promises as Russia always does.

France should train them in the Jaguar jet, small and built with heavy duty landing gear it could land on random roads and highways for re arming and refueling making it very difficult to find, it also carries the sidewinder and smart weapons
how many jaguars are available
@linusa2996 Between France and the UK they have around 410 aircraft either retired or in surplus, India just ordered another 100 planes last year so they are still produced, the F-16 is a excellent aircraft and one of my favorites for any mission, but it seems that the French Jaguar would be much easier to train with and readily available from NATO countries.
The specs on the Jaguar are here
The SEPECAT Jaguar is an Anglo-French supersonic jet attack aircraft originally used by the British Royal Air Force and the French Air Force in the close air support and nuclear strike role. It is still in service with the Indian Air Force.

Originally conceived in the 1960s as a jet trainer with a light ground attack capability, the requirement for the aircraft soon changed to include supersonic performance, reconnaissance and tactical nuclear strike roles. A carrier-based variant was also planned for French Navy service, but this was cancelled in favour of the cheaper, fully French-built Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard. The aircraft were manufactured by SEPECAT (Société Européenne de Production de l'avion Ecole de Combat et d'Appui Tactique), a joint venture between Breguet and the British Aircraft Corporation, one of the first major joint Anglo-French military aircraft programmes.
The Jaguar was exported to India, Oman, Ecuador and Nigeria. The aircraft was used in numerous conflicts and military operations in Mauritania, Chad, Iraq, Bosnia, and Pakistan, as well as providing a ready nuclear delivery platform for the United Kingdom, France, and India throughout the latter half of the Cold War and beyond. In the Gulf War, the Jaguar was praised for its reliability and was a valuable coalition resource. The aircraft served with the French Air Force as the main strike/attack aircraft until 1 July 2005, and with the Royal Air Force until the end of April 2007. Its role was replaced by the Eurofighter Typhoon in the RAF and the Dassault Rafale in the French Air Force.

I still don't understand
Exactly when are they receiving the F -16 ???
As soon as the pilots are ready , now I’m not an expert but to fly this planes I believe it will take years for them to master and become a real f16 pilot . Im not sure if 6 months of training will make them good pilots but will see
Just an FYI, I was an F-16 avionic tech when I was in the Air Force, our tech school was a year long for all new F-16 avionic techs. And, all our allies that buy F-16s for their Air Force also go through the same 1 year of training that is 8 hours of training daily for entire year. And, all pilots get a minimum of 37 weeks of training before they'd even be considered to fly combat mission. As we speak, I'm certain there are Ukraine military attending training here in the USA so they'll be capable to troubleshot and repair the 130+ computer systems in an F-16. Just because they can get planes does not mean they've had adequate training to fly them and keep them flying. I'm sure US and allies could have shipped them a year ago, but they still needed to be trained to keep them operational. especially if there's a shortage of replacement parts. It takes continuous repairs to keep any jet operational. I'm sure that has a lot to do as to why jets like the F-16 are not dispersed quicker like other weaponry and munitions that Ukraine has received in the past. I taught the year long course for 4 years while I was in the Air Force and had students from Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Belgium, S Korea, Greece and quite a few other countries that send their F-16 avionic techs to the USA to be trained. So, I'm quite familiar as to the lengthy training required to be remotely combat ready.
@@robynrobison4050 Ukraine is sending combat pilots not green new pilots. NATO is also accelerating their training schedule. As for repairs. I’m sure Ukraine has hired ex military experienced contractors to help with repairs. Just like there are foreign fighters in Ukraine there are foreign support contractors working. Let’s just admit even an average pilot who isn’t an ace will still make a difference flying an advanced fighter jet
@@chrispowers5568 It's ironic you just said that. It was in the military news that 12 DAYS ago the FIRST 50 Ukrainian F-16 maintenance specialist just finish training.. And they were trained by Denmark Air Force. Which coincidently is about 1 year since US and NATO agreed to send F-16s to Ukraine
They're receiving them on August 30th at 1pm.

It is a shame Canada is not paying its share. Adm. Rob Bauer, NATO's top military officer, recently shared that NATO countries including Canada, must do more to prepare for war. The thought of war must be considered even as we do not want to imagine it. Many want this Ukraine war to go away, but that does not appear to be happening anytime soon. The NATO Admiral gave a 50 year time frame. “The tectonic plates of world power are shifting, and when that happens "earthquakes" / war is all but inevitable.”
The younger "me" generation wants no risk while they focus on comforts/pleasures of life. This mentality must be checked given the war, growing threats and unprecedented tension we see in Europe and the Asia Pacific. He also argued that the private sector must consider security and defence into its calculus and practices. Supplies can be cut off by foreign companies who become adversaries. Businesses must work with the government to find solutions to the problem and not be merely focused on money.
Younger people (men) should consider enlisting in the Canadian Reserves to bolster our defence stance out of service to their country. I can say there is true honor serving in the Canadian Army Reserves for 2 years myself. Sadly, it has been reported from Ukraine, that many young men are hiding from conscription in their girlfriends houses, or draft dodging in other ways. God forbid that kind of cowardice would be named among "strong and free Canadians."
"It is not that far away." He said. A recent weapons factory fire in Germany was linked to enemy activity.
Potential conscription into the military service is no longer inconceivable in our day and age. We must think about it. If we want peace, we must be prepared to bolster defence and security even as we pray for peace and truly hate the idea of war. We have studied the tragedy of WW2 and the Cold War.
May God help us and keep our land glorious and free as we stand on guard thee.
FINALLY, my goodness is this more talk or REALITY
Keep in mind Ukraine is receiving 80 f-16s. Currently they only have about 30 pilots who can actually fly them. Also, Russian air defense systems that will basically render the f-16s useless because they have to fly at low altitudes to avoid being shot down, which makes their weapon systems which work best at high altitudes kind of useless. They're training more pilots here in the US in Arizona. It takes about 9 months training course. I don't think this is going to go very well.
Ukraine will continue to degrade the latest batch of Russian air defence locations, before they deploy the F16s
You have made some valid points. The Ukrainians have been targeting those air defense systems of late with drones. So the russians have been pulling those systems back further. Also, my understanding is that they are going to do what the russians have been limited to doing, as to not come under Ukrainian air defense. Use glide bombs that are released further behind the lines and glide to to their targets. The Ukrainians have shown themselves to be pretty resourceful. They managed to sink the russian flagship without a Navy. So, hopefully they can do the same for their F-16's.
Putinistan can barely keep prop driven drones from blowing up facilities as it is.
@@Eric_Von_Zipper You are right, also AMRAAMs are going to come into play as well, as some of these missiles match the electronics of the f-16 and have ranges up to 160-180 km which is longer than Patroit systems. Russia will have to take extra safety measures when they are going to shoot their glide bombs or risk their planes from going up into smoke.
They will be as effective as the Abram’s tanks. A total failure. Time to end this stupid Joe Biden proxy war.
Meanwhile US isn't sending a single jet to Ukraine....Zero.
Ukraine isn't our responsibility. Screw them
Thats beqause America has a senile stumbling president who is terrified of Vladimir Putin.
The U.S. invented the aircraft. Is that a contribution?
Finally.
Ukraine won't be flying F-16s in combat for years. They have ~6 partially trained pilots, no trained maintenance personnel, and no airfields.
@@donwyoming1936 Wow. So, not only do you have 100% information on their logistics, training, and other programs but total access to the OPSEC data that tells you all this?
Yeah, right. Get a life Boris.
Finally what? The end of a stupid Joe Biden proxy war? Trillions of dollars won’t help Ukrain beat Russia. It’s Impossible without the declaration of war from the U.S. that Will lead to nuclear war. Grow up. Stop waving the flag
Why can't these folks just report about it "after" they start shooting down Russian fighter jets. It's just not smart to announce this kind of thing.
I can understand that F-16's to Ukraine requires more than simple delivery. There is training to fly, but also training to maintain, as well as delivery of all maintenance and support stuff. But did this really need to take so long?
Ukrainians are dying every day, so every unnecessary day wasted means actual lives lost, unnecessarily.
They need 300 not 30 or 40 .

Ukraine destroys Russian oil refineries and Russia is forced to sell crude oil, which significantly lowers world oil prices. Thanks to this, ordinary Americans fill their cars with cheaper gasoline. The USA could help Ukraine even more, because the USA receives much more from the drop in oil prices than it gives to Ukraine.

War is a racket --read the book ☮️☮️
It isnt "a racket" if your countries boarders are being rolled over by Russian tanks and bombs are being dropped on the hospital where your child is. It is necessary, and not evil. How can you be so uncaring and arrogant? Yes, the aggressor is evil and a racket in this: Russia. But send arms ALL DAY to Ukraine so they can defend their homes and families. If they give up they will not live happily ever after. Think reprograming and oppression and devastation, abuse, police state, no freedom, rule by corrupt and violent Russian oligarchs. Yes, the Russians are playing games with lives because they don't value human rights, but arming Ukraine to defend itself from forced oppression while thier children are literally being murdered is noble, regardless of the economic mechanism that provides it. If you have a problem with Capitalism or Corruption or Imperialism, fine... then please realize that Russia, not the USA is the embodiment of the most extreme cases of those, and its fine to recognize that USA/Europe also have issues with those things to a lesser degree BUT KEEP SUPPORTING UKRAINE. For your reference the historical equivalent of Vietnam in this case is Russia being the Invading Imperialist here as the USA was in Vietnam. But it is far worse because the civil unrest in Ukraine before the invasion was all instigated by Russia, and then they just rolled thier tanks in and started mass killing/depopulating Ukrainians to replace them with Russian immigrants in the future. That you would put peace symbols up encouraging Russia to continue by leaving Ukrainian much less defensible is horrific and makes you a party to Russian warcrimes. I was one of the only people I knew that was against the Iraq invasion from the start... that is different than defending from an invader... SUPPORT UKRAINE. Fight war in this case by SUPPORTING UKRAINE, otherwise Russia will keep on rolling thier tanks across Europe and risks WW3... you FIGHT BULLIES to stop them.
Yes, stop putler
A country should not invade another country, especially that country did not do anything!

F16 can't bring peace
About F**KING time !!!
Agreed...Should have trained the pilots up as soon as this all started and they should have had the planes 2 years ago.
Patience.
cool. Why dont you go and help fight the war for the super wealthy as they use you as a pawn you dip s hit
Trust me they will make no difference. This war will ultimately have a negotiated settlement. Both countries will lose. All of humanity has already lost. There is nothing about this that makes any sense. No bad guys, no good guys. Just a fucking tragedy all around.
Zelensky demanded 128 jets. Is NATO ready to agree?
To be deliverd this year.(norway) And young ukrainian pilotots, newer flown russian jets are trained. Of course not have 2500 flight H. But them trained well before sent to battle. Thats why it takes time.Slava Ukrain and the free world.
Personally I think the USAF and NATO trainers are still struggling with a peacetime training mentality.
They have the ability to get a pilot graduated with 100 flight hrs in 13 weeks, send them to a the NFWS or the F-16 FWS for another 13 weeks to get 200hrs of BFM, WVR and BVR combat time flying 2 times a day 5-6 days a week flying against USN/USAF aggressors and you'll get a pilot who will be more proficient with that F-16 than an active duty USAF F-16 pilot who's been flying it for 2 years.
How they gonna defeat Russia with a few F16?
Don't get it twisted the jets already there.
Some not all
@stanadams5541 Yeah, but I hate how we telegraph everything that we're going.
ITS SO SHAMEFUL ----the US in A GANG OF 40 military powers of the against one Russia and still Ukraine can not afford to liberate even one kilometer of land grabbed by Russia
I wont believe till i see it. They coming from December last year… still not there
Sukhoi has been waiting for them with excitement ,they still not delivered?😂😂
Better Late than Never... 😒
Nobody in the Media panicking or mentioning about Nuclear War if it was Trump Presidency they'll be talking about it 24/7
Sadly they've been asking forever and politicians playing with lives . Shame on US
Shame on everyone why does the US get all the blame l? The US has supplied more aid than Europe alone.
A good old man is better than a con man.
Hide your wallet . Zelensky is in town....🤣

Eide didn't answer the question about "TIME LINE" after being asked more than once so really had NOTHING to say.
About time!
F16 won’t make any differences. It’s a 40 years old model and the Russians have the best air defense systems.
The "best" I am not really sure about but lest give it sometime and we will see the results with news.
It's all talk, they made promises on TV and social media, but never live up to their promises.
THIS IS A BOT FOLKS.
@@singularspace2782 Don't insult yourself like that. Also the all caps doesn't help your cause.
It is a very fragile scenario towards the agressors next move decisions.
Which loads the F 16 could drop to where? In my opinion the F 16 is only funktional, if the base is safe. Two Pattriots, Iris-T, Mantis or wishfull the skynex Phalanx.
Could a F-16 deploy Taurus?
