It's so exciting to see Lloyd Austin speaking so boldly from his prepared remarks, two years into the failure of the Pentagon to adequately oppose the long-awaited Soviet advance. All that money Reagan and others invested sits in warehouses awaiting more cash from Congress to buy new toys.

A brief history of the confrontation. Globalists are against the Russian people. 2007 - Putin, speaking in Munich, accuses the West of unleashing wars, organizing color revolutions, and destroying the world order. 2008 - The West launched a war against Russia, killing 79 Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia. 2014 - The West organized a coup in Ukraine, brought the Nazi junta to power there, began to destroy the Russian-speaking majority in Ukraine and arm Ukraine, preparing it for an attack on Russia. 2007-2022 - The West is trying to sway protests in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, trying to carry out coups in these three countries. 2022 - The Bandera junta attacks the independent republics of Donbass and starts a war. 8 days later, Russia invades Ukraine and begins an operation to protect the republics of Donbass. 2024 - Russia liberates the Russian lands of Ukraine from Nazi occupiers, the standard of living in Russia is high, the standard of living in the West has collapsed, the whole world is on Russia's side against the West. .

Buhu Russia is so scared now. 😂😂🤣🤣🤡🤡

The sell was a compromise for the USA. Otherwise Ukraine would've gotten them all.

Correct - so the claim "their entire fleet" is wrong

​@birgerkagan6087 all of it is wrong but some of it is right....

Argentina has the option to buy all 39 of Denmark's F-16s. Ukraine may get 15 of them. They may get none.

@@bg1616 seems to me to be a contradiction in terms - pls do NOT explain

After Turkey shot down Russian plane Turkish F16 couldn't fly in Syria against Russian air defence. Do you think Turkish F16 plots are not trained as a Nato pilot?

Mas vale tarde que demasiado tarde como dijo el presidente de Lituania.

20+ F16 are worthless Tom Cruise movie was in 1986 It's 2024 now check your calendar

Ukraine won't be flying F-16s anytime soon. It takes 4-5 years to train an F-16 pilot. The 1st class of 4 Ukrainians are about 1 year into the process and are far behind schedule. Ukrainian maintenance personnel didn't start training until Jan 2024. I worked on F-16s. Takes 3 years of technical school, correspondence courses, and on the job training just to work on the jet without an experienced technician looking over your shoulder. 8 years to be fully qualified.

@@RamblingRodeo could only find this description "Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) maintains around 40 F-16AM/BMs also upgraded to the MLU standard."

da

Ukraine announced the counteroffensive a year before it began, filmed trailers, teasers and 2,000 news stories, but now will it be different?

I think it's gonna be "...I can show you better than I can tell you...". We shouldn't expect a media announcement.

The Russians can tell you exactly when it arrives.

That will def happen.

Lloyd Austin needs the "extemporaneous speech" module. And should turn on the "appropriate shame" algo for the two-year dribble including the GLSDB scam.

@@AstroGremlinAmerican that won't happen :)

NATO pilots? Ukrainia is not NATOmember

Knowing they'll be tossed straight into combat the second they're trained might have something to do with how good they'll be and how motivated they are to master it.

@@magratea123Many of us in the West want Ukrainians to be free for its own sake, not out of some imperialistic ambitions that Putin spews lies about. It seems like you're Croatian. I know there's a lot of pride in Yugoslavia's history and the Soviet Union's as well. I'm American, and I'm not going to deny a lot of good was done during those times in spite of people like Stalin. Tito seemed like a pretty good man for the most part. But what Putin is doing today isn't any different than what the Soviet Union criticized America for doing during the Cold War.

This is the way NATO keeps Rusia from claiming a NATO F16 attacked them.

Ukraine won't be flying F-16s in combat for a very long time. They'll probably spend the next year or three in Romania or Poland training.

@@donwyoming1936Dunno… Ukraine has been surprisingly adaptable in a range of spheres so far. National survival being an extraordinary motivator I guess.

After Turkey shot down Russian plane Turkish F16 couldn't fly in Syria against Russian air defence. Do you think Turkish F16 plots are not trained as a Nato pilot?

@@unsalbulent To answer your question, no they are not as trained. But what has that got to do with an F-16 flying in Syria that is being protected from Russian air defense? If you knew anything about the F-16, you'd know that it doesn't have to fly that close to the target to destroy it.

There will be pilots and ground crew that will be contracted. Three years to get a CDI, five years to be a QA. So yes, you definitely will have contracted pilots and ground personnel. Intermediate level and Depot level.

@@NateWhitehorse you think they will get AWACS support for CAPS and AA/AG?

@@pabloottawa I think that Ukraine is already getting AWAC support already. Didn't two A-50 and one IL-76 get shot down? I don't think Patriot missiles would shot that far behind enemy lines.

@TalorcMacAllan-rj3nr It takes a heck of a lot more than mere months to make a combat fighter pilot. These things are easy to look up. The website of your own country's air force (if it's a NATO country) should have info.

Ukrainian pilots have been training on the F-16 for over a year now. They are ready if not, close to it. Even better, US instructors tasked with training Ukrainian pilots have reported a much quicker learning of the jet and its systems than anticipated. The pilots are highly highly motivated to learn and succeed and this is showing in their progress. What normally takes 1-2 years is taking less than a year. Once pilots know the jet and the systems the training turns to logistics and planning. They’re getting the job done faster and with greater accuracy and success than pilots who undergo regular training for the F-16.

@@vegas1a😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣💯

Speed is not the way to judge their power. How far away from the target are they when they destroy it is how you'd judge that contest. Speed won't save you when an American made missile has lock and guidance correct.

I doubt that F16s, which are a plane introduced in the 1970s, and of which the airframes sent here will be 20-25 years old and fairly worn out, will be shooting down SU-57s (5th generation fighter introduced in 2020) like bees over gasoline. Most likely they will be for defensive purposes, and launching long-range strikes on high value ground targets, rather than air-to-air combat against much more advanced fighters.

@@WangMingGe 1) Write or tell the Israelis about your theory 2) In 1982 F-16's single-handed the Syrian Air Force in two days Kill ratio 80 versus 0, cero, nothing, nada 3) Their avionics are updated in "blocks", If I'm not wrong they're on block 76-80. 4) During the Balkan's conflict one F-16 shoot down six enemy aircrafts in less than 15 minutes. In the hands of a good pilot the plane is a living nightmare for the enemy.

@@felixluisocasio8948 You are talking about a very wealthy, highly trained army in a conflict 42 years ago. Where are you getting these numbers from???? The large Syrian air force commitment sounds like the 6 Day War, but that was 1967, before the F16 existed. It's not a "theory" that 1982 was 42 years ago, or maybe you never learned math in school. The F16 was a 4 year old plane then, now, it is almost half a century old. The blocks of planes the Danes and Dutch have are also old, and the airframes in use for over 20 years; they are worn-out old planes. The Serbs in the Balkans were using mostly Mig21s...you know, (or, I guess you don't, because you seem terribly informed and incapable of basic logic or counting), the same ones the North Vietnamese used in the Vietnam War, in the 1960s. Also, that was 25 years ago. The Russians have 5th generation aircraft (SU57), as well as SU35s (introduced 2014). I suspect you are perhaps a teenager who gets your ideas about war from Hollywood movies where everything American is magical, but as we've seen with the Abrams, Challenger and other 'game changers' your childish fantasies don't apply on the real battlefield.

Enhanced ordinance and no delays? Not unless the US decides that it may not be a bad idea if Ukraine won this war. They actually fear a break-up of Russia following a loss and the removal of Putin. It's a case of "better the devil you know ..." applied to the whole of Russia.

Russian planes are crap.
