- In what could be a massive blow to Ukraine, the expected delivery of f-16 fighter jets may come too late. Newsweek reveals significant setback for Kyiv amid Russia's offensive in Kharkiv. Ukrainian pilots have recently been finishing up training on the U.S-made jets, For most of the more than two-year war, these pilots have flown Soviet-era MIG aircraft.

F16 can only work against unarmed people like the Palestinians, not Russians
is that what the kremlin is telling u now ??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣russians are so childlike with their serfish mentality
💯%😂😂😂😂😂
This is very UGLY comparison. K. from California
💯😝
Absolutely true. F16s a single engine aircraft are no longer that magical game-changer combat aircraft. It's overage in the era of twin engines SUs-35s & 57s. F16s are likened to Marshall Goering's Stuka Dive Bombers and Japanese Zeroes of World War II. These are like disposable diapers that are overused and over-fatigue flying contraption. Russians blow this flying coffins mid-air as soon as detected inside Ukraine. F16s could not land on rough terrain, but airbases that no longer exists blown up by Russians. They either stage from Poland, Estonia or NATO member states nearby Ukraine.
If Putin talks, listen.
If Biden talks, laugh.
If Zelensky talks, hold onto your purse.
And if you talk just a man-ape shouting intellegible noise !
In India like you, dictator and war criminal Putin has many agents….
No one listens to Putin anymore no one LOL. He has drawn 5000 red lines that he told NATO if they crossed would trigger a nuclear war. As soon as they knew where the red line was they crossed it to mock Putin and of course he did nothing except threaten to nuke anyone within earshot of him. He is the yappy dog that everyone ignores. Russia can't even beat Ukraine 20 % of Ukraine in 10 years of war. A country they should have taken in a week.
if you talk its BS
If you think of another comment, delete it first before posting.
abram tanks were a huge game changer! LOL
Lets see, Russia got one Abrams from Ukraine, there are over 2500 confirmed kills of Russian Tanks!!!Seems about even lolol....Russians look like fools when they try to tout their one Abrams lolololol
Zelensky days are now numbered.

No one is a bigger clown that Putin no one. Zelensky made him look like the village idiot for 700 days in a row. Now no matter what happens Russia won't even be able to defend it's own borders in less than a decade. Zelensky made sure no matter what happens in Ukraine Russia is finished and an kind of legacy Putin may of held to with the foolish that is now ruined as well. Russia will be under China's boot soon.

@@jonaafr I don't think it's for you or me. How can we sleep at night sending our own fellow men (brothers of the same race) into the fire pit?!
The F-16s that they will deliver to Ukraine, are 50 year old jets. They are not the latest modernized technology jets. I think they wanted to get rid of them...
I think you are correct. But there is a secondary problem. The planes were not designed for 50 years. Structural components fail. It is hard to pilot a F-16 if a wing falls off.
And translensky by the look of things. That bromance is over
@@eddieBanke22 wings fallinh off, WTF ??? Every plane risk a structural fail if lacks on maintenance !... Guess which country has worst maintenance ? Yes, russia .... And Guess how many accidents happened to russian planes in last two years ? A Lot. F-16 in good condition with a minimal upgrade in avionics, can engage MIG-29 - 31 and Sukoy 34... can you tell ?
@@YorktownVorahah u r crazy dude
@@sosufyan Well maybe everybody had his own bit of crazyness !! but sure I'm fascinated with aviation ... but If you've better details on the matter I'd be delighted to discuss...
Because F-16 is "western made", so it is assumed that it would drastically change the dynamic of the war. They also had high hope for the "western tanks". Leopard tanks, Challenger tanks, and later on, the much talked about the "jet engine driven" Abrams tanks. The state of the game wasn't changed with the deployment of these "game changers". I fact, the opposite is true. Russia is now taking even more territory.
So how is the F-16 going to be so different to those "game changers" before it? It might prolong the war somewhat, but not it is not going make Zelensky happy. Why? Because war ultimately needs to be fought on land, and Zelensky simply doesn't have the manpower.
Biden wants a victory for himself to boast his presidential bid. Judging by what we are seeing, it is another Afghanistan for him.
If that's the case, I would say: that's pretty sad!!!!!!
@@WalterVetterli The US is a very sad country. It's politicians don't know what is best for the country. They keep chasing the ultimate goals being the only superpower, and to remain so for as long as possible. That is why it wanted to set up Ukraine as its base in Europe to counter Russia. Thinking that Russia is a spent force, but it is far from being so, now Biden is desperate.
F- 16 prídu na Ukrajinu, Rusi prídu do Kyjeva.
@@WalterVetterli Biden is a very sad sight to watch anyway.
Peace negotiation is better than F-16s.
The way the west talk about F16 is like its the messiah coming. Pls its a piece of crap plane. Don't make us laugh
How would you know?
True these US made fighter jets are another propoganda by America. These f-16 fighter jets are another much hyped,much priced propoganda whereas the reality is these can't even stand against 1960 made Soviet era MIG-21. In 2019 in a dog fight between India and Pakistan , Indian MIG 21 has effectively shot down and American made Pakistani F-16 . Propoganda can not hide the ground realities.
@@stephenofaolain7205 He is correct. I used to live in San Antonio and my neighbors were jet jockeys.
Just another ‘Game Changer’ flop
Nice to see people on every channel talking about this bloody war being super experts: knowing about tanks, rockets and yes even planes and there performances... Mostly of these funny people do not even served as military their own country. So you I guess you're an expert of aviation to claim F16 is a piece of crap plane, don't you ? Can you precisely describe flight envelope of F-16 and upgraded avionics for electronics engagement ?
F16 are good when there’s no air defence system 😅
F-16 good in movies 😁🎥
Funny F-16s have shot down a number of Russians fighters but no Russian fight has shot down an f-16 and lets not get into the number of air defense systems they have destroyed for only one loss .. You make yourself look the fool as usual
Understand the logistics of defending against such power. Ukraine troops are exhausted. They can hardly lift an artillery shell anymore. They need relief from reserves but that is not happening. The human part of this calculation is critical but western powers seem to pretend its not important. Food, ammo, water, and medical supplies need to be delivered. Troops need to sleep. If FAB 500 bombs are landing all night long its hard to sleep. Sleep deprivation will turn anyone into a zombie.
They are either dead ore worn out.
F16 is not a gamechanger anyhow..
Yeah, I heard many an imbecile say the same thing. The also had no idea what an F16 was...
Of course they aren't. At least, not according this Indian Kremlin channel.
@@bassbuffrickyNot according to anyone.
@@bassbuffrickylmao patriot/himars/leaopard/abrams/depleted uranium shells/cluster bombs all were once a gamechanger😂
But whats funny is 10 million dollar abrams blown by a 200$ drone. Atleast ukraine needed mines and javelin to destroy russian tanks but 200$ drone destroying abrams is like the joke of the century 😂😂😂😂😂
@@arnavsharma9092 Russia has only faced like 30 HIMARS the entire war. In took like 800 days for Russia to even destroy 1. The Ukrainians only had short range missiles for them. Russia had to move everything important out of range of them since they cannot stop them and they decimated everything they were fired at. Just be thankful the US didn't send 1500 HIMARS with long range atacms since they are over 40 years old and the US is about to retire them and have well over 1000 of them gathering dust in a warehouse. 40 years old but still better than anything Russia has. Now that Ukraine ran out of weapons and ammo 6 months ago Russia is finally advancing. Their 1 football field a day charge is costing Russia over 900 killed in action per day. If Ukraine had 5% of the equipment Russia had they would have beaten Russia in months since Russia sucks bad at war. But they can gain football fields over a country 1 20th their size once the other country has no weapons or ammo.
If those aircraft ever show up, they will be piloted with NATO officers out of uniform (Foreign Legion) as cover. But Ukraine will still lose the war.
Like you were saying in March 2022 ??
How the hell it didn't lose yet ??
@@RDeckardN6 If you for one minute think that Ukrainian forces are fighting this war on their own, then I have a bridge to sell you! This is NATO's war through and through. The targeting, surveillance, weapons & planning is headed and supplied by NATO! Even the so-called 'Foreign Legion' operating in Ukraine is basically NATO troops out of uniform so that when Ukraine is finally defeated, they can comfortably say that NATO didn't lose the war.
I seriously doubt that NATO pilots will agree to fly them, it is a certain one way voyage. Why would anybody commit suicide for evil people like Zelensky or Biden.
These F-16 aircraft are NOT combat ready at all. Imagine fighting a modern war with these antiques.
It's what happens when you fight a war relying on the charity of others!
They are fighting a PROXY WAR

@@jo944 Are you saying F-16`s are better than anything the BEAR has now.!! 😂😂😂
They will be lucky to get 10 F16s operational at one time. They never it did it with their own jets. It will be hit and run tactics until the Russians discover their airbases. Ukraine has shown they can never protect their airbases and have to hide planes one by one in camouflaged spots.
You high on vodka Ivan ???
America just doesn't want to see them to be as successful as the tanks. Very bad for sales when they only last several minutes in the sky.
America is afraid to send their much praised f-35, because they know it would end in a bad advertisement for the f-35.
Zelinsky gets that sinking feeling every day now. He needs to realize Ukraine is not part of Nato..that is where the conflict of interest starts. Lindsey Graham needs to be held accountable for the promises he made to Zelinsky. Graham had no business saying anything to Zelinsky. Graham is nothing in congress.
Even if it was part of NATO that would not make new weapons appear.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆😆😆😆America show again its real dirty face to Ukraine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
These are old F16s and if you look at the specs it's actually worse than their old 29s which have all been blown up. They carry old radars and short range air to air missiles. Another point is Russia has complete air defence coverage of Ukraine now with radars which out match the F16s. This means they will be spotted and shot down before they even know they've been targeted. These will need to be piloted by Nato pilots as they don't have enough trained pilots to fly them. The training has gone badly, I think they only have 6 pilots fully trained up on them and that's only basic training. Nobody seems to understand that they'll need to take off from somewhere. This somewhere will be levelled in less than a week. With these being nuclear capable there's a good chance Russia will target them even in another country if that's where they take off from.
Old F16s, fitted with old APG-66(V)2A radars and old AIM-120s, perfectly capable to down SU-25s in 100miles range. Like a flying Patriot.
@@dilten69 su35s have a radar range of over 200, that makes a big difference, especially taking into account the air to air missiles have over double the range. This is going to be a suicide mission for any poor pilot that lands for the job of sitting in it 🙄. When Russian troops move forward they take air defences forward with them as cover. An S300 and an S400 will soon spot a 1980s F16, not sure what they are supposed to be for. It's also important to note they need a completely smooth and spotless runway as they're high maintenance and have a habit of picking up debris into the air intakes. Old mig 29s were built to function on poor quality runways and roads to allow them to land on makeshift runways. The F16s don't have the landing gear or intakes to make this possible. They're going to need highly maintained runways and a team of well equipped engineers as these are old planes with known high maintenance even when new.
@@user-ig1qz1of3f Tell me you expert tovaritsch...
How the hell Israeli F-16 are so damn effective in Syria ???
Why no S300, S400 or S500 is able to stop them ???
Why an old Turkish F-16 easily shot down a russian Sukhoi on the south border some years ago ???
You expert, you explain this to us...
Cannot ??? Oh sorry...then take your expertise somewhere else...
Russia will target the airfield they take off from. They might even target the rest of the country, particularly if it is Poland.
They don't call them "land darts" for nothing.

@@olaola63375 You're a joke, you all are over there. Update. tell us how Crimea is doing, do like Attacms?
LOL..When the F16s are being shot down one by one, they will need to withdraw the F16s from the battlefield, so as not to damage it's reputation..
F16s are 50 year old airframes. They have their reputation. It has been built up over that time. The risk is that they surprise to the upside which would be a big embarrassment for the Russians. Another one. If you want to talk about potential embarrassment, where is Russia's SU-57? It should have cleared the Ukrainian airforce out of the skies two years ago. Probably still trying to sell it to India based on hype and not its actual combat effectiveness. Also, where is the Armata tank? Same story.
@@oconnem1 What Ukrainian air force? Last time I looked they had less than 5 flyable aircraft. The T-14 is not being built because the assembly line is producing the Terminator-3 instead - which is essentially a Armata tank with a different turret.
The same as the mighty Abraham tank
Lol almost 5000 have been built with 25 nations flying them.
It is a known factor.
How many SU 57 s has Russia built ?
How many exported ?
@jackneuman5108 Well, since the 1970s 🤔 It makes since, so what is your point?
Who is going to repair these planes?
No repairs needed as they are meant to be disposable or one time use only. Hence no plan for spare parts and repair crews training.
One way flight... 😂😂😂
You think Ukraine just trains pilots but no mechanics ?
How logical or likely is that ?
@@Samoasoa I don't know if you are more ignorant or more stupid. Perhaps both !
@@jackneuman5108 oh ya, F16s are not like the farm tractors that a person can be trained in 2 weeks.
No doubt their delivery will generate new orders for Lockheed... The point of this whole exercise.
is it money again?
Why is there such a fuss over this jet? ITS radar is not as good as any of the new Russian MIGS IT has shorter range missles. It's also not stealth. You put these jets up against the Mig 34/35 or the SU-57 or the the s400 system you are going to see a lot shot down. Also where are they going to be based? Most of the airfields are already damaged. You could try basing them in Poland or Russia and attack from there, but would this not be perceived as a direct attack on Russia by NATO? Russia would probably attack the bases. Not sure if NATO is willing to risk that
Precisely. Good points. Also, importantly, Su-35 has better range radar and missiles.
Any plane 'based'. within NATO borders first needs to land in Ukraine to get armed
This then is not NATO being part of the planes mission
When you know how many airplane of the sovietic era Ukraine has already receive from all those former USSR republic you ca imagine how many aircraft have been destroyed and how many pilot died.
Why should it take long for these planes to arrive in Ukraine. Is something happening behind the scenes or someone is afraid that they would get the fate of Abrams.
They are not Air-Worthy being old, worn out planes at the end of their operational life
Something NATO has been doing all along
F16 is a fluke. Where are the runways???
...in Poland and Romania, probably. For however long it takes Russia to flatten those bases once used to send up F-16's into Ukraine
It was made clear that all airfields, even in NATO members, used for F16 attack on the RF, become targets.
@@Slakters Like Belbeek Air Base flattened today in Crimea ??? 😂😂😂
@@RDeckardN6 not aware of that info, or if it's even real, yet. Usually that is conclusive in a day or two, unless there actually is verifiable footage of it. But sure, the ukros got their cache of storm shadows, so could be they have hit something.
@@RDeckardN6 The Russian PLANES are designed to function on dirt runways. Didn't know that did you .
How often do you hear about Ukrainian aircraft flying anywhere the front lines? Several times a day, daily, a couple of times a week, every few weeks? Ukrainian pilots reused to fly missions to bomb the formerly defenseless cities of Donetsk and Luhansk once the rebels got manpads. Do you actually think that they're going to be keen on operating within the range of S-300's and S-400's now, let alone S-500's next year?
You talking about the same batteries being used in Syria ???
Oh yes, Israeli pilots are very frightened by them !!!
How the hell Israeli F-16 are never hit ???
They will just refuse.
It has never been a " Full scale invasion" if it was you would have 30 Million troops in Ukraine. What is the delay in providing Ukraine with F-16's they are all over Europe just next door in Poland. they should be able to send them tomorrow.
Supplied F-16 from Denmark/Greece others are onsolete/old stock and non performances fighters jets as per Scott ritter statements
You aircraft expert ???
Scott Ritter is a Putin hugger.
If you don't know anything about planes, do not start with Ritters "expertise", he's been wrong about everthing the last 26 months. It's not about the airframe, but about the weapon platform.
You believe everything Scott Ritter says? I hope you are smarter than that. Having said that, everyone knows they are 50 year old airframes so nothing new here. However, what will they be carrying? We will see.

That is not true. It takes a minimum of 2 years of training to be proficient with a new aircraft. Although the F-16 is obsolete, it is new to those Ukrainian pilots. By contrast, a Russian pilot going from an SU-35 to a SU-57 already knows most of what he needs and 6 months of training is enough to make that transition. Ukrainian pilots will not be ready until 2025 or 2026.
How many expert russian pilots are left ??
Why no SU-35 or SU-57 flies over Ukraine anymore ?? Why do they fly well inside Russian air space ??
Are they all air-sick ???
@@RDeckardN6 That is not true. Both SU-35's and SU-57's regularly fly over Ukraine including most of what is east of the river and along the Belarus border. But why should they take unnecessary risks with a SU-34 carrying heavy bombs? They don't need to get very close to the occasional MIG-29 or SU-25 or SU-27 that Ukraine sends up in order to shoot it down. And they won't need to take unnecessary risks to shoot down the F-16's either. To date no SU-35's or SU-57's have been shot down and the number of SU-34's lost you could count on 1 hand even if you worked in a meat cutting factory.

'Biden' "Make no mistake, F-16's mean WWIII, it's never going to happen." - ONE YEAR LATER 'Biden' "Were delivering a score of F-16's to Ukraine!"
Sorry, but where are the Ukraine pilots to fly them. And one hour in air for 40 years old fighters will mean 10 hours at groundwork by skilled mechanics. Where will you get them, and what about the spare parts? Who has enough of them, and in the correct right time, and not way too late, delivering them?
Most will never make it off the ground once spotted.
You know I MAY get win on loto ticket for max prize.... in next week no matter I do not play loto but I might find ticket...
several years of training F16 pilot is not ready to go Russia While 3 months F16 Ukranian pilot wants to win war against russia😂😂😂
Basic training with no F16 combat experience. USELESS.
Thejet at the end isn't F-16. It's F-35:)
People focusing entirely on the aircraft show how little they know about air warfare - the aircrafts capabilities and performances are important factors in the hands of a well trained pilot. The pilots capabilities and understanding of the systems available to him is what really matters (should anyobe doubt this I refer to von Rosen in Biafra).
All the time during the Cold War it was clear that the Warsaw pacht airforces received less than half the annual flying time as that of NATO air forces. I don't know if that has changed to day but if it has not I'd bet on the NATO trained pilots any day
The F16 needs good runways and maintenance facilities and Russia has been busy destroying them. So they would have to fly from Poland or Romania but Russia has said if they do then Russia will consider them to be cobelligerents and hit their bases and other facilities and they could not call for support from NATO under Article 5 since they would be involve in a war they started. So the supply is likely being held back by pressure from NATO. In any case they will not survive the Russian Dome radar and missile system or the MIG-31 and its hypersonic missiles which will hit them from within Russia as they have done with all the hundreds of MIGs and SUs they have downed. The plane Ukraine needed was the A-10 Warthog to replace the Eu-25 ground attack aircraft they have lost.
I think that most F16 aircraft once spotted on the ground will never see air time. If you dont think that the Russians are waiting and looking for them to show up, you are nuts. So I agree with the above comments.
2 minutesf of commercial before I can watch a 3 minute video. Bye Times of India.
What we need, is Mass Produced Cheapos ! The aluminum pipes, pressed with Vice into a Wing shape.
With slide out extension wings, using lock pins.
The front to rear Pipe, viced into shape also !!!
F16 is worst even than the F29 Ukrania had. Another infallible plan.
The old F-16 can still carry nukes.
Sláva Rusku pozdrav a podpora z České Republiky ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I thought that Czech people are collecting artillery shells against russia or am I wrong?
F16's will not be flying from that base. They may arrive there but will not be based there. They will be dispersed and operate from highways and roads that can handle jets. If you all don't understand how that works take an look at the Swedish way of operating their Airforce from dispersed bases during time of war.
It's over and "they" know it. I wonder what diversions will take place to hide the real truth?
Zelensky is weak. ukraina needs better leader to deal with Putin .
Nato countries have already agreed to supply F-16's . If jackass Zelensky hasn't got them there is another reason holding things up .
Question is where would the F16 operate from. Ukraine? Russia will destroy the place, NATO country? Will invite counter strike! So F16 is off the table
From 48 hrs special operation to lifetime war😂😂😂
Crazy human being pfue
If Iraq and managed to down them what about Russia its just any other jetThis Russia we are t
all about not Libya 🇱🇾
The delays sending F-16's to Ukraine is because they are OLD and WORN OUT jets that take a lot of time to make air worthy Far from being ( yet another ) Game Changer.
