When I first started hearing about the F-16 deliveries I thought…what if the delivery and the first mission were the same thing. Arm them and fly direct from the donor country airfield, straight to Crimea, and sink everything in Sevastopol harbor

I hope this makes a significant difference.

Fly them straight in and bomb every russian airfield they can. They aren’t American supplied weapons

Finally! Let’s go!

I think its been “underway” for more than a year now.

Optimistic me: USA allows strikes deep into the mordor at the same time, f-16 arrives in Ukraine. Surprise, motherfuckers!
Futurismes on
By all means, fly all the f16s straight to the nearest targets and start fucking orcs up.

I hope they created hardened bunkers for these.

Maybe its a long con with the no ATACMS and they will open up the restriction within the week F-16s arrive and Ukraine has known and is stocking up to unload a large anti-air strike right before F-16s arrive to keep russian assets in range.

finally! we’re waiting for them two years… thanks

Now we wait for Russia to claim they shot down at least 50% more F-16’s than donated to Ukraine.
Edit: wording

What about good ammo for it?

Hearing Blinken speak after listening to Biden and Trump ramble incoherently is such a breath of fresh air. Can he replace Biden until there is a replacement found?

Just hope this is true. Been waiting so long. Seeing is believing 🤞🤞🤞

I can see Ukraine using these in a very limited role until the Swedish AWACS planes arrive.

I have a feeling of even bigger retaliations. I went to the childrens hospital an hour after the explosions. I was tearing up for sure.

“Russian aggression.” The west needs to stop with the clinical talk and stop pussy footing around. “The Russian genocide of Ukrainians” would be more apt language to describe what’s going on.

Hopefully there’re equipped with Amraam to attack the russian frontbombers from a distance!

Great news. No reasons warplanes should not be produced specifically for Ukraine for use in this conflict. They should be rolling off the assembly line and headed to Ukraine

May this heading be a true state of affairs

We keep hearing this. I think we’ve heard “in 2 weeks” for months.
But hopefully this time it’s actually true, and that they provide them with a few of the new AIM 174’s as well, to take out those long range russian bombers.

West send number that can be used and probable more when they expire to fill the ranks.

I wonder if the recent tricking of Russia to attack fighter mockups at Ukrainian air bases was a test of Russia’s monitoring and reaction times to strike aircraft in the open in preparation for F-16 arrivals.

How about releasing Ukraine from these ridiculous confines of restricted use of weapons over the border into Russia that forces the AFU to fight with a hand tied behind their backs. Then, they can attack airbases whose aircraft are used to attack children’s cancer hospitals and other civilian targets with cruise missiles. Hey, speaking of cruise missiles, how about sending Ukraine a couple dozen of your land launch Tomahawks.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

First it was end of 2023, then it was first half of 2024, then it was July and now it is “this summer”.

“Underway” makes it sound like they’re currently flying over, but “will be in the sky this summer” suggests a much longer timeline, unfortunately. I can’t see why they would physically transfer them (thus exposing them to Russian attacks) if there was no plan to use them immediately, and I can’t see him saying “this summer” if they were expected to be in the air tomorrow.
So yet another case of false hopes.

Okay so a Gen4 platform, similar to mig29, better performing, and the ability to use NATO weapons. But mig29’s were already being fitted with agm-88s anyways . I mean realistically what massive benefit will these add?

Where’s the Charles De Gaulle again ?
EDIT : In the Mediterranean. What if they called an impromptu refueling exercise with those F16s ?

Hopefully this means they are already there. Giving the orcs advance warning would be stupid.
