The F-16 needs a fixed runway and an army of specialists to get it ready and to keep it operational. There is not a single safe airport left in Ukraine, whether military or civilian. Then she also faces off against an opponent who can also fly and also has a fully functioning anti-aircraft system. In the end it will end up just like the supposed "game changers" Leopard II, Bradley, AMX-10 or Striker.
I agree that the F/A-18 would be a better choice. I also agree that the overly dramatic title "game changer" is not only over-the-top, but a mixed metaphor... Ukraine is slowly winning and game-changers reverse the loser to the winner. So... Anyway, just so that you can sleep at night, know that aircraft support personnel are also being trained.
Ukroin already has a massive air power fleet thanks to its ussr mega army past + the 25 years of being a russia allie And despite that it got destroyed inside 3 months A lot of you guys seem to forget ukrain is not a random middle east country. It was part of ussr. And was among the smartest industrial sucessfull part of ussr The nato help will only make the war last longer by 1 2 years but that wont change the final outcome
@@mathewvanostin7118, almost everything that you written here is incorrect. Ukraine does not have a massive air power; it started the war with a small fleet of ~100 combat aircraft many of which have subsequently been lost. The Ukrainian Air Force fleet was inherented from the Soviet Union 32 years ago not from Russia during the previous 25 years. The Russians had a 10:1 advantage against Ukraine in February of 2022 but despite this they didn't destroy the Ukrainian Air Force within 3 months. The Russian Air Force has failed to destroy the Ukrainian Air Force after 18-months due to a combination of corruption and next-level incompetence. Everyone knows that Ukraine is not in the Middle East. Everyone is aware that the Ukrainians are "smart", this has been on display as they have found clever ways to defeat their much larger invader on the battlefield. Ukraine’s supporters will continue to provide it with the tools that will help them to remove the Russian Zombies Army from every kilometer of Ukrainian territory.
Heeey hoooo remember ussr? Best army of the world along usa Ukraine was part of it! And a vital part of it Kiev odessa kharkov donesk dnipro were among top 10 most advanced industrialized ussr cities-region along moscow st petersburg vladivostok novosibirsk
They only took the nukes. Cause those was too dangerous. The rest they let it in ukroin. It was part of the ussr split up process that what ever is in independant ex soviet country become his. Except extremely stratigic element like nukes or spatial base or sebastopol base etc. And it was all good cause big majority of soviet military industries were in russia. So ukraine was dependant on russia to continue selling them new equipement and ammo to maintain everything. So russia liked the fact ukraine was dependant on them to maintain majority of everything. And back in 1991-2014 they were best friends before the usa sponsored coup to try to make it nato and not a russia allie So ukraine is very powerfull. Its a prime ussr military maintained for 25 years with excellent relationship with russia. Who send them new gear new equipement new ammo and also some post soviet gears
Ukraine took back a huge amount of land for one reason.....Ukraine broke an agreement with Russia, where peace talks would take place once Russia withdrew from the Kiev region, back behind the Donbass lines. the whole media BS about Ukraine defeating the Russian "invasion" of Kiev, is complete fiction.
Next year, the U.S will give permission to finally send Ukraine the remaining kitchen sinks, since the F35 will have also failed to present the desired results.
And how is the Russian war effort going again? Where are the super advanced T-14's and SU-57's? Why is Russia unable to conquer a nation which had a military only a small fraction of the size of its own? Why haven't the Russians achieved air superiority over the course of a year and a half?

Yeah, training pilots from scratch takes time. Training an experienced pilot to operate a new/different aircraft takes a lot less time. USAF has already said it can reduce the F-16 transition program for experienced Ukrainian pilots. Why don't you listen to the experts instead of trying to figure it out for yourself with no information?
Wonder who Your people are. All Danish donatations are included budgets covered stamps too. So we and the the world a minimum the cost. The clever parts here also know Ukras might need some of many spare parts.
We hesitated to give different airplanes because af pilots . We now has no choise. And have enough F35s instead. Right now only has 2. They dont replace some 20 the 100% and 10 95% reserves
People forget that America left Afghanistan because they new the war in Ukraine will start. Since that time Ukrainian pilots should start getting training.

The UKRAINIAN army has never shoot a Russian hypersonic missiles down. So the collective west will be destroyed real fast if it came to the nuke war.
No the NATO forces will not make a difference to the outcome of this conflict there is still 1.3 million russian troops on the battlefield. Western media don't report the truth this is a disaster for Ukraine and the west. 6 pilots are getting training to write English while Russia has 1000 gen5 planes and 2600 gen 4.
Do you understand that as soon as NATO troops enter Ukraine, a thousand NATO soldiers will die every day? NATO troops have never met such rival as Russia, who has been learning to fight against NATO weapons for a year and a half. How do you explain this death to voters?
The opposite, Russia should have won this war in 10 days but due to corruption and utter incompetence they are instead getting slowly knocked backwards. Thats so embarrassing and humiliating for former Mighty Russia. We are laughing at them daily, Best comedy in years!
Very poor listening comprehension skills. Those interviewed described the challenges Ukraine faces in terms of adequate weaponry and aircraft in the shorter term. However, the Russian's face an even greater challenge as they lack the multi-national support we have in Ukraine. There is no question whether or not Ukraine will succeed in extracting Russian forces from their country, but the inadequate military supplies and equipment issue does prolong the war.

Absolutely right. It is not Ukraine or democracy that that crook Zelensky is fighting for. The longer the war goes more the billions of aid he gets. And more limelight in world stage. The entire corrupt regime should be jailed.

Ukraine is liberating village after village. Russia is loosing hardware 3 to 1. It's over for russian fashists. F16 will make air defense much stronger so russia will have to forget about the new invasion. Soon UA will have more drones so no military factory will be safe in Russia.
@@MrObvious-tg8lzoh your western media narratives educated fool. It was the bs media you're educated with that said it. Putin said his army will demilitarise and Denazification of the UKRAINIAN army. Meanwhile Ukraine said 10 weeks ago when the winter spring summer autumn counter offensive started they would be in Crimea, they haven't made it passed the greyzone yet.
@@MrObvious-tg8lz Before the war started, Russia was the third biggest military in the world and Ukraine the eleventh. The third biggest military having a hard time against the eleventh biggest military on their own turf while they are backed by the biggest military alliance of all time is not a ''bad performance''. Do remember that conventional military wisdom says that it's three times easier to defend a territory than to take it. So even if Russia ends up losing the war it still won't be a bad performance. I still hope Russia outright loses mind you but I've stopped believing it's possible a long time ago. Maybe it's just because I don't get all of my news from TikTok. Also, no one else than American ''analysts'' ever claimed that the war would only last 10 days. Seriously, look it up, Putin never said that. The UK said that he did after the fact without providing any proof for it and that's about it.
Expensive weapons mean nothing. Usually it demonstrates that contractors are ripping you off while a Russian, Chinese or Iranian made device can counter the material with an object that was 1000x cheaper.
@@intheshell35ify"In the competitive environment before the companies consolidated, a shoulder-fired stinger missile cost $25,000 in 1991. With Raytheon now the sole supplier, it costs more than $400,000 to replace each missile sent to Ukraine. Even accounting for inflation and some improvements, that's a seven-fold increase." - CBSnews
Yes, we are overcharging ourselves in military just like for drugs. In other countries this would be called “corruption” but here it’s “capitalism.” It’s a supply versus demand problem. We need more suppliers and they need to be prevented from being “gobbled up” by the giant money machine that is Lockheed. (Search for the }Chris Cappy Lockheed” video. It’s eye opening.)

8 planes won't matter like the spattering of Nato tanks didn't matter. This is a conflict with two nations that had large military forces to begin with. One has obviously been advancing their tech and been involved in more conflict the past two decades, but Ukraine did have a large military. Nato has been too busy fighting the second and third world, they lost sight of what a first world country is capable of and what it takes to fight such a force. Economics and productive capacity win these types of conflicts. Most Nato countries have lost their industrial base.
Russia is NOT a first world nation even Poland is not a first world nation. The first second third world was a definition of allied groups within the cold war. Western Europe and USA allied were first world Soviets felt they were their own world, the second world. Third world was everywhere else including comparatively properous Switzerland and Austria
8 planes matter more than 100 tanks. They don't have to worry about the terrain they are in, as well as limiting any russian plane strikes, including the ka-52 which Ukraine was struggling with. The f-16 is also a multi-role fighter so it can take out air targets and ground targets. All the hand me down weapons are basically the equivalent of russia's military.
Allow me to correct the title for you : "How Dutch weapons like F16's can .........." There you go. They are American designed, they haven't been built in the US. The Dutch F-16's have been build, to specifications, by Fokker in the Netherlands. Under another YT video of the same sort, someone even wrote 'Go, USA !' .. Excuse me. those are Dutch fighter jets, a Dutch donation, decided on by the Dutch. All the US had to do was give permission. Don't you dare cheer on the US when the Netherlands donates F-16's to Ukraine.
The thing isn't can expensive american made weapons turn the tide, but rather American made weapons and weapon systems are often times sadly the ones with the production capacity to supply. Look at German Leopards, if you order them now you get your first tank in 5 years time. Same with jets, not really a lot of options out there.
There are no options of weapons from Europe, they rely on Americans to defend them and have lost any will to fight a century ago. The only weapons Europe makes are strictly for export profit. The United States have never had such a weak cowardly leader. Ukrainians pay the price.
There have been many tinpot dictators have American weapons. Iran and the Mullahs had our weapons but they really did not use them very well. But to use it affectively you must coordinated your army, navy and air force and that's not easily to do. You also must have top notch military intelligence backing it all up. The level of coordination is insane and the work is ball breaking.
@@mandarinandthetenrings2201 yep. even if they landed yesterday there is still 5 years worth of training and team construction that needs to take place.

from memory, USA has been contracting companies in what is now Russian territory, to supply explosives for military production. USA is also supplied the majority of fertilizer and fuel rods for Nuclear Power plants by ....Russia. this conflict will see the downfall of both the USA military and industrial systems. Combine that with the removal of USD as the international trade currency, the massive growing debt USA has accumulated, and USA is effectively a third world nation in 15 years.
You said it. Not to mention that their non-military industries are very dependable of the massive production of the other nation they want to declare war: CHINA. They reason because the USA is noe on this dilemma is their own hubris and bully-relationship with their "partners" on the so called Western World. A world that now doesn't care if the USA fall to a secondary category nation or failed state.
Himars are Gamchanger Then Leopards Cluster bombs Storm Shadow Now F16 The game is tired itself of not changing, if UKR cannot change the game this time, RU may end it. One more thing RU has S400 air defence
Not just s-300, S-400, but S-500 and they claim the S-550 can stop hyper sonic missiles something the NATO cannot do. World War 3 is the end of this if Ukraine doesn't surrender.
True, I think the US should get involved directly and attack Russia from Japan. Drive west across Siberia, bombing all power plants, factories, make mincemeat of the Russian heartland
It's not a silver bullet, but each introduction of something new has changed the battlefield. Especially HIMARS forced the Russians to move many HQs and ammo dumps out of HIMARS range. Storm Shadow also makes it quite a lot worse to be at an ammo dump or HQ. Russia doesn't have that many S400 available, but S300 will also do the job. F-16 can probably force the Ka-52 back from the frontline though, at least make it much more high risk to use them.
It will happen like with the Leopard tanks, they were requested by Ukrainians for long time, their supply was announced many months before their arriving, Ukrainians needed months to be trained to use them and when Leopard tanks were deployed in the war Russia had already figured out how to destroy them. It will happen the same with F16 jets, when, after many months, they will be deployed for the war Russia will have already figured out how to destroy them.
Simple! Propaganda! Media acts like russia doesn't have kornets to counter the leopards and now they act like russia doesn't have surface to air missiles.
I am sure Russia is already working to get an F16 jet to study it and discover how to destroy them. They sure are searching for someone willing to sell them one of their F16 jet, it is not that difficult: Iran has got them.

I think he hit the nail in the head when he said it’s not a football game. Everyone is expecting immediate and strong results but this is a war with Russia. Although obviously not the military we thought it was. But still a massive fighting force nonetheless compared to the Ukrainians. They are doing a damn good job in my opinion. Give ‘em hell boys.

Yes, and they are now training on Gripens. F16 will be no help if Americans are not allowed to go to Ukraine to support them. The donating countries can't spare support personnel. Biden needs to allow American support thus " boots on the ground ".
The same was said about Leopards, Bradleys, HIMARS, Storm Shadows, Cluster munitions, etc. Russia has withstood the Ukraine offensive and is getting stronger in Ukraine. We know the conflict will only escalate. Say no to war and broker a peace deal. Let Ukraine stay neutral.
It's not a one weapon solution, NATO should also train Ukrainian pilots to use the AH-1Z Viper and A-10. the F-16 is a excellent aircraft, maybe the best with it's block V upgrades until something proves otherwise but it's not the solution. Ukraine should have been given the ATACMS a year ago .

Lets take a minute first to evaluate the impact if "game changing" tank and cluster munition deliveries made recently. The air is much tough. Even russians are keeping their airforce away, often shooting extremely long range missiles from.Russia mainland. How would Ukraune use its F-16? Shoot from Poland or Romania?
They won't fly to the front with the F16s, either. They will be shot down from a safe distance and flown back to base. The same what the Russians do, but not on civilian targets. As for the cluster munitions, you might want to read what the Russian military bloggers who are on the ground are reporting. They find the use of cluster munitions anything but funny.
@@huckleberryfinn6578 unfortunately, evidence tell us that there is no safer place in the entire Ukrainian territory. No airport or runway is safe. Russia hits every corner, including the very edge of border with Romania to target infrastructure like grain ports.
Ukraine soldiers are now using drones with thermo cameras to ID mines. What they do is wait till dusk and fly the drone over the field, and the mines, having been warmed up by the sun show up on the screen and then they can use cluster munitions to take out the mine field and move through it.
They don't use cluster munitions to clear minefields, as undetonated bomblets create UXOs, which basically become mines. They use cluster munitions to hit routing Russian troops, like the ones running away from Urozhaine and Robotyne. For clearning minefields they use sappers, and recently we've seen more use of MICLICs.

Someone once stated that even the whole might of the US military would struggle with this line of defense just because its never been tested against by our doctrine of fighting. Pretty neat to see the UA being the first ones to test it out

They barely had 150 planes+helis at start. Some were destroyed first day. Their MiG29 can't compare with Russia's next gen Su's and Ukraine only has few old Su's that they are using now to launch StormShadows. Their Tu's were dismantled in the 2000s at Russia+USA request!
Still don't think a few jets are a "game changer" considering they'll be receiving them 2024. Down South Ukrainian are failing to breakthrough while Russians are advancing North. The end of Ukrainian counter means Russians will be on the offensive assuming they can stop that advancing Ukrainian will have one last counter offensive and this is My opinion
Russia undertook basically suicidal attacks against Territorial Defense Force units to take a few settlements up north with a total population of around 60 people in an attempt to draw away Ukrainian troops from the South, then proceeded to get blasted and pushed back to the river. A situation not much different than the sacrifice of the Russian 155th Naval Infantry Brigade at Vuhledar. Anyone who thinks Russia is doing anything noteworthy north is out of their minds. And Ukraine is shaping the battles in the South to their favor, they're securing the high ground around important settlements and roads, while bringing up engineering vehicles to clear minefields and destroying bridges, logistic hubs and C3 centers in the rear with GMLRS and Stormshadow/SCALP missiles. A situation not much different than what happened in Kherson, where the Russian proudly boasted about "defeating" the Kherson Counter-Offensive multiple times as they "strategically withdrew to more favorable positions", until suddenly, and for "no apparent reason" the Ukrainians achieved a breakthrough, then the Russians put their tail between their legs and ran away to the other side of the Dnipro.
Ukraine has not broken any main defencelines i south at all. The strong one ready for counterattack always is line 3 in tnhe Russian version. It has tanks and is heavy armed .

Everybody knows, Russia and China are, for example, the good guys; at least they are never aggressie or are colonial powers like the US and Western European countries. Russia and China came into being, from the very beginning, as big and wise, tolerant, freedom loving, and peaceful as they are today. It's the aggressive West who has steadily encroached against Russia, putting her 11 time zone land and 6,000 thermonuclear in danger.... that emboldened Ukraine to start this war of aggression against Russia....

You are a fool. Who is they? Most people were saying those were important weapons but not "game changers". Gamechangers were reserved for HIMARS and stormshadow missiles which absolutely enabled the Ukrainians to take back Kherson and other regions. The Ukrainians have taken back well over 50% of the territory the Russians originally stole. Meanwhile Ukraine has just taken Robotne and is close to penetrating the main Russian defense line. So you are horrifically uneducated about the conflict or you are a Kremlin shill.
How much is a house? 500k. But wait, is it new or renovated? New plumbing and wiring? Does it have heating or conditioning? Garden and pool? Solar panels? Dual car garage? Now tell me how much an F-16 costs? Or a NASAMS system?
The F-16 and Leopard 2 are both nearing the end of their 50 year economic life, and are already scheduled for replacement, with little remaining value, except in Ukraine. However, they can both handle modern weapons systems and electronics that MIG-29 and T-72 cannot. Dropping cluster bombs on minefields and trenches is not the same as dropping them on civilians. It took over a month to clear local minefields and defenses after D-Day before major advances were made, so the tide in Ukraine has already started to turn... lol
Where would the Ukraine's park the F-16's and why wouldn't the Russians knock them out as they land there. What other country would want to house the F-16 Squadrons near there and become targets...And who is going to pay for all the f-16 ammo and rockets...and on going maintenance.. None of this makes sense to me. seems like the longer the war last, the more people in Ukraine are bombed...
Denmark had a problem to where to get the old F-16s scrapped after buying 27 new F-35s, the solution is apparently sending them to a scrapyard called Ukraine....
and get money from it...this time if the scrapper wins, they have to pay Denmark back with interest. It's a win-win for Denmark but lose lose for Ukraine, even if they win from Russia. they will be forever in debt to the EU...this is why many Ukrainians just surrender to Russia by calling 146.999 freq and saying Volga.
Nothing is a definitive game changer that we can deliver in a reasonable time. These F16s the Netherlands and Danmark are sending are old stock meant to be/are already replaced by the F35. Its just an excuse for these countries ministry of defense to increase their military budget and/or get deals with American contractors to buying newer planes. It also gives them soft power in return which is valuable on the negotiating table. Classic window of opportunity to achieve this.
If America is so concerned about Ukraines 'sovereignty' why dont they fight alongside Ukraine rather than supplying only weapons. Why don't everyone understand how west is using Ukraine as proxy against russia. If they really cared about peace they wouldn't have offered Ukraine nato membership.

I heard they are looking at the Gripen. That would be a great choice for them. The F-16 needs clean runways, it probably would suffer from FOD. The Gripen was made to land on roads if necessary.

These analysts spoke truthfully, no weapons are silver bullet. They can help in terms of the war, in terms of translating some battle field success, but not the tide of the war. Its has to be resolve diplomatically, unless the west injects a lot of advanced weapons, ground based systems, air based systems and sea based systems to force Russia out of Ukarine. Russia will only talk if they know they are losing.
Russia tried to talk for about an year and only when they realized the west is absolutely callous to their concerns did they, for lack of other options, invade Ukraine
West will always lose against Russians! They tried to subdue them for the past 200 years and they were always crushed. Now NATO and Ukronazis are absolutely obliterated in Eastern Ukraine!
For 9 years, Russia kept demanding the same thing: Ukraine must be under Russia's direct control. There's many concessions that Ukraine could make, but returning to degradation is not an option.
@@nevigodstanson7160 do you consider military neutrality direct control? Not joining NATO is just one possible decision to control. Or do you think remaining militarily neutral to save Ukrainian lives but joining the EU would have also provoked invasion?
I wonder how many people are getting filthy rich from the $75 billion dollars we’ve sent to Ukraine since the war started? Just a quarter of that would be enough to give every single resident of Maui over $50,000 in aid. Of course the entire island’s population wasn’t affected by the fires and they wouldn’t need that much money but it puts it into perspective. We should be taking care of Americans first. It should always be that way. If we did our country would be significantly better and decades ahead of the rest of the world.
The overwhelming majority of the world community fully agrees that Putin should start negotiations leading to a withdrawal from Ukraine. It was amply demonstrated on 2 March 2022.
Ukraine needs to cut its losses and negotiate an end to the war. Give up the land that has already been lost. There is not progress being made and this war could go on for decades. The U.S. should lessen the weapons and ammo being supplied and encourage Ukraine to accept what has already been lost. If they can agree to this then maybe there's a chance they could still join NATO. A war with no end benefits no one.

Anyway, just so that you can sleep at night, know that aircraft support personnel are also being trained.
Somehow Ukraine is still able to use Soviet era planes every day. Ukraine is biggest country in Europe after Russia. It has dozens of airports.
This is a fact a few tanks and airplanes won't make a difference to Russians have millions
And that's a fact
Ukraine needed airpower over a year ago.
Ukroin already has a massive air power fleet thanks to its ussr mega army past + the 25 years of being a russia allie
And despite that it got destroyed inside 3 months
A lot of you guys seem to forget ukrain is not a random middle east country. It was part of ussr. And was among the smartest industrial sucessfull part of ussr
The nato help will only make the war last longer by 1 2 years but that wont change the final outcome
@@mathewvanostin7118, almost everything that you written here is incorrect.
Ukraine does not have a massive air power; it started the war with a small fleet of ~100 combat aircraft many of which have subsequently been lost.
The Ukrainian Air Force fleet was inherented from the Soviet Union 32 years ago not from Russia during the previous 25 years.
The Russians had a 10:1 advantage against Ukraine in February of 2022 but despite this they didn't destroy the Ukrainian Air Force within 3 months. The Russian Air Force has failed to destroy the Ukrainian Air Force after 18-months due to a combination of corruption and next-level incompetence.
Everyone knows that Ukraine is not in the Middle East.
Everyone is aware that the Ukrainians are "smart", this has been on display as they have found clever ways to defeat their much larger invader on the battlefield.
Ukraine’s supporters will continue to provide it with the tools that will help them to remove the Russian Zombies Army from every kilometer of Ukrainian territory.
Heeey hoooo remember ussr? Best army of the world along usa
Ukraine was part of it! And a vital part of it
Kiev odessa kharkov donesk dnipro were among top 10 most advanced industrialized ussr cities-region along moscow st petersburg vladivostok novosibirsk
@@mathewvanostin7118, you are correct but Russia took most of the Soviet weapons and they have also procured new ones since the cold war.
They only took the nukes. Cause those was too dangerous. The rest they let it in ukroin. It was part of the ussr split up process that what ever is in independant ex soviet country become his. Except extremely stratigic element like nukes or spatial base or sebastopol base etc.
And it was all good cause big majority of soviet military industries were in russia. So ukraine was dependant on russia to continue selling them new equipement and ammo to maintain everything. So russia liked the fact ukraine was dependant on them to maintain majority of everything. And back in 1991-2014 they were best friends before the usa sponsored coup to try to make it nato and not a russia allie
So ukraine is very powerfull. Its a prime ussr military maintained for 25 years with excellent relationship with russia. Who send them new gear new equipement new ammo and also some post soviet gears
Ukraine took back a huge amount of land for one reason.....Ukraine broke an agreement with Russia, where peace talks would take place once Russia withdrew from the Kiev region, back behind the Donbass lines.
the whole media BS about Ukraine defeating the Russian "invasion" of Kiev, is complete fiction.
Next year, the U.S will give permission to finally send Ukraine the remaining kitchen sinks, since the F35 will have also failed to present the desired results.
Kitchen sinks will be another game changers, just like the previous game changers.

And how is the Russian war effort going again? Where are the super advanced T-14's and SU-57's? Why is Russia unable to conquer a nation which had a military only a small fraction of the size of its own? Why haven't the Russians achieved air superiority over the course of a year and a half?

Nato has been too busy fighting the second and third world, they lost sight of what a first world country is capable of and what it takes to fight such a force. Economics and productive capacity win these types of conflicts. Most Nato countries have lost their industrial base.

8 planes matter more than 100 tanks. They don't have to worry about the terrain they are in, as well as limiting any russian plane strikes, including the ka-52 which Ukraine was struggling with. The f-16 is also a multi-role fighter so it can take out air targets and ground targets. All the hand me down weapons are basically the equivalent of russia's military.

The thing isn't can expensive american made weapons turn the tide, but rather American made weapons and weapon systems are often times sadly the ones with the production capacity to supply. Look at German Leopards, if you order them now you get your first tank in 5 years time. Same with jets, not really a lot of options out there.
There are no options of weapons from Europe, they rely on Americans to defend them and have lost any will to fight a century ago.

from memory, USA has been contracting companies in what is now Russian territory, to supply explosives for military production. USA is also supplied the majority of fertilizer and fuel rods for Nuclear Power plants by ....Russia.
this conflict will see the downfall of both the USA military and industrial systems.
Combine that with the removal of USD as the international trade currency, the massive growing debt USA has accumulated, and USA is effectively a third world nation in 15 years.
You said it. Not to mention that their non-military industries are very dependable of the massive production of the other nation they want to declare war: CHINA.

The game is tired itself of not changing, if UKR cannot change the game this time, RU may end it.
One more thing RU has S400 air defence
Not just s-300, S-400, but S-500 and they claim the S-550 can stop hyper sonic missiles something the NATO cannot do. World War 3 is the end of this if Ukraine doesn't surrender.
True, I think the US should get involved directly and attack Russia from Japan. Drive west across Siberia, bombing all power plants, factories, make mincemeat of the Russian heartland
😂😂😅😅
It's not a silver bullet, but each introduction of something new has changed the battlefield. Especially HIMARS forced the Russians to move many HQs and ammo dumps out of HIMARS range. Storm Shadow also makes it quite a lot worse to be at an ammo dump or HQ.
Russia doesn't have that many S400 available, but S300 will also do the job. F-16 can probably force the Ka-52 back from the frontline though, at least make it much more high risk to use them.
And America doesn't have money for disaster relief, homeless & poor at home.
It will happen like with the Leopard tanks, they were requested by Ukrainians for long time, their supply was announced many months before their arriving, Ukrainians needed months to be trained to use them and when Leopard tanks were deployed in the war Russia had already figured out how to destroy them. It will happen the same with F16 jets, when, after many months, they will be deployed for the war Russia will have already figured out how to destroy them.
Exactly. The Russians will be prepared because they have been given a long advance warning that F-16s are coming.
Simple! Propaganda! Media acts like russia doesn't have kornets to counter the leopards and now they act like russia doesn't have surface to air missiles.
I agree, they shouldn't try and should just give up. I for one welcome our new Russian overlords.
I am sure Russia is already working to get an F16 jet to study it and discover how to destroy them. They sure are searching for someone willing to sell them one of their F16 jet, it is not that difficult: Iran has got them.

Yes, and they are now training on Gripens. F16 will be no help if Americans are not allowed to go to Ukraine to support them. The donating countries can't spare support personnel. Biden needs to allow American support thus " boots on the ground ".

Nah, no need of F16. According to NATO, Ukraine is already winning
It's not a one weapon solution, NATO should also train Ukrainian pilots to use the AH-1Z Viper and A-10. the F-16 is a excellent aircraft, maybe the best with it's block V upgrades until something proves otherwise but it's not the solution. Ukraine should have been given the ATACMS a year ago .

Even russians are keeping their airforce away, often shooting extremely long range missiles from.Russia mainland. How would Ukraune use its F-16? Shoot from Poland or Romania?
They won't fly to the front with the F16s, either. They will be shot down from a safe distance and flown back to base. The same what the Russians do, but not on civilian targets.
As for the cluster munitions, you might want to read what the Russian military bloggers who are on the ground are reporting. They find the use of cluster munitions anything but funny.
@@huckleberryfinn6578 unfortunately, evidence tell us that there is no safer place in the entire Ukrainian territory. No airport or runway is safe. Russia hits every corner, including the very edge of border with Romania to target infrastructure like grain ports.
Since Ukraine got cluster munitions they started moving the front line again while causing mauve casualties, like the recent withdrawal from Urozhaine
Thats not true@@johnny_eth

10:35 There most certainly is another choice: SEEK PEACE AND END THIS DEMONSTRATION OF FOOLISHNESS.
Ukraine soldiers are now using drones with thermo cameras to ID mines. What they do is wait till dusk and fly the drone over the field, and the mines, having been warmed up by the sun show up on the screen and then they can use cluster munitions to take out the mine field and move through it.
😮
Hahahaha... Hahahahaha... HAHAHAHHAHA....
No.
@@musikmedravnen You should google it. There are several articles and videos on this.
You are a gifted stand up comedian, have you considered going pro?
They don't use cluster munitions to clear minefields, as undetonated bomblets create UXOs, which basically become mines. They use cluster munitions to hit routing Russian troops, like the ones running away from Urozhaine and Robotyne.
For clearning minefields they use sappers, and recently we've seen more use of MICLICs.

Will be just another scrap scrap metal against Russia Air Defence Systems😂😂😂😂
Still don't think a few jets are a "game changer" considering they'll be receiving them 2024. Down South Ukrainian are failing to breakthrough while Russians are advancing North. The end of Ukrainian counter means Russians will be on the offensive assuming they can stop that advancing Ukrainian will have one last counter offensive and this is My opinion
Russia undertook basically suicidal attacks against Territorial Defense Force units to take a few settlements up north with a total population of around 60 people in an attempt to draw away Ukrainian troops from the South, then proceeded to get blasted and pushed back to the river. A situation not much different than the sacrifice of the Russian 155th Naval Infantry Brigade at Vuhledar. Anyone who thinks Russia is doing anything noteworthy north is out of their minds.
And Ukraine is shaping the battles in the South to their favor, they're securing the high ground around important settlements and roads, while bringing up engineering vehicles to clear minefields and destroying bridges, logistic hubs and C3 centers in the rear with GMLRS and Stormshadow/SCALP missiles. A situation not much different than what happened in Kherson, where the Russian proudly boasted about "defeating" the Kherson Counter-Offensive multiple times as they "strategically withdrew to more favorable positions", until suddenly, and for "no apparent reason" the Ukrainians achieved a breakthrough, then the Russians put their tail between their legs and ran away to the other side of the Dnipro.
Only Rusians and a few others names weapons as game changers.
Russia has barely gained any ground in the North, Ukraine has broken the main line of defense down south
Ukraine has not broken any main defencelines i south at all.
The strong one ready for counterattack always is line 3 in tnhe Russian version. It has tanks and is heavy armed .
So far Ukraine has taken line 1 and touch line 2. They have strike line 2 and 3 very well.
Soon has is the real world and my hope too 💛💛💙💙
Its not the F-16 itself that's a game changer, but the vast array of missiles it can fire.

As a tax paying American citizen I am just fine with helping Ukraine. Our people have plenty of ways to get the help they need. Most of us are just lazy. I was against almost every conflict we've been involved with up until Ukraine. They deserve and need our help, in my opinion of course. What we've given and will be giving to Ukraine is a tiny portion of tax dollars a lot of which will be coming right back into our economy. We get to clean out old storage which costs money to store, and give it to Ukraine who need it. To each their own I guess.

You are correct.
They said the same thing about the Challenger and Leopard tanks. They said the Bradley Fighting Vehicles were game changers. They said the MRAP armored vehicles were game changers. They said Stinger missiles were game changers. They said NATO troop training were game changers. They said the Patriot missile system were game changers. They said HIMARS were game changers. None of these made a difference.
well when you have a little kid running the country and giving terrorist demands on what he wants and did nothing before it all happened the f16 will do nothing unless the war goes on for 2 plus more years
@@not_nostradamus683 Of course not, because Russia has all these weapon systems in one form or another and much more of them and outproduces "The West" in weapons and ammo. Russia also has the better air defence. Patriot has been a complete failure, as people would know, if they heard Scott Ritter out. They guy who told the truth about Iraq having NO WMDs!

So true. If Jewish Nazi Zelensky had listened to Trump and his genius friend Comrade KGB Col Putin's wisdom & brotherly advice and hadn't been armed twisted to start the war against Russia, by joining up with aggressive NATO --- an action that put Russia's peace loving nature & existence into a dangerous situation --- none of this would have happened.
Everybody knows, Russia and China are, for example, the good guys; at least they are never aggressie or are colonial powers like the US and Western European countries.
Russia and China came into being, from the very beginning, as big and wise, tolerant, freedom loving, and peaceful as they are today.
It's the aggressive West who has steadily encroached against Russia, putting her 11 time zone land and 6,000 thermonuclear in danger.... that emboldened Ukraine to start this war of aggression against Russia.... But it's not just Ukraine; Finland, Norway, Sweden, Moldova, Georgia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland.... ALL these aggress neighbors want to see Russian collapse...
Russia, on the other hand, merely and GENTLY asked for small "buffering" acres --- from these former East Bloc provinces of the USSR ---- to add to her tenuous, 11 time zone land, to make sure it is a bit safer from the aggressive West...
Ukraine, everyone knows, IS THE ONE going on the offensive against Russia, who is on the DEFENSE in all of her newly acquired as well as traditional lands from Mykoliav, to Kerson, to Zaporizhzhia, to Crimea, and the Donbas provinces... @@not_nostradamus683
You are a fool. Who is they? Most people were saying those were important weapons but not "game changers". Gamechangers were reserved for HIMARS and stormshadow missiles which absolutely enabled the Ukrainians to take back Kherson and other regions. The Ukrainians have taken back well over 50% of the territory the Russians originally stole. Meanwhile Ukraine has just taken Robotne and is close to penetrating the main Russian defense line. So you are horrifically uneducated about the conflict or you are a Kremlin shill.
How much is a house? 500k.

"Russia will run out of ammo by Christmas"

What year 😂
Russia uses 60k ammunition per day, @ currently has a stockpile to use that amount for the next 10 years LOL
What !! Again ?? Thats the 10th time since the beginning of the conflict.
Propaganda war
American interests are at stakkkkke🧟♂️🧟♀️🧟🧟♀️🧟♂️🧟♀️
So far not a single NATO weapon didn't turn into a magic pill. Russia seems to be destroying everything thrown at her.
The F-16 and Leopard 2 are both nearing the end of their 50 year economic life, and are already scheduled for replacement, with little remaining value, except in Ukraine.
However, they can both handle modern weapons systems and electronics that MIG-29 and T-72 cannot.
Dropping cluster bombs on minefields and trenches is not the same as dropping them on civilians.
It took over a month to clear local minefields and defenses after D-Day before major advances were made, so the tide in Ukraine has already started to turn... lol
thats lot of cope james, you overdosed on copium again. how many times we gotta teach you this lesson old man!!
Where would the Ukraine's park the F-16's and why wouldn't the Russians knock them out as they land there. What other country would want to house the F-16 Squadrons near there and become targets...And who is going to pay for all the f-16 ammo and rockets...and on going maintenance.. None of this makes sense to me. seems like the longer the war last, the more people in Ukraine are bombed...
Denmark had a problem to where to get the old F-16s scrapped after buying 27 new F-35s, the solution is apparently sending them to a scrapyard called Ukraine....
and get money from it...this time if the scrapper wins, they have to pay Denmark back with interest. It's a win-win for Denmark but lose lose for Ukraine, even if they win from Russia. they will be forever in debt to the EU...this is why many Ukrainians just surrender to Russia by calling 146.999 freq and saying Volga.
No. They cannot. Even that warmonger Anthony Blinken said they won't change anything.
Nothing is a definitive game changer that we can deliver in a reasonable time.
These F16s the Netherlands and Danmark are sending are old stock meant to be/are already replaced by the F35. Its just an excuse for these countries ministry of defense to increase their military budget and/or get deals with American contractors to buying newer planes. It also gives them soft power in return which is valuable on the negotiating table.
Classic window of opportunity to achieve this.
If America is so concerned about Ukraines 'sovereignty' why dont they fight alongside Ukraine rather than supplying only weapons. Why don't everyone understand how west is using Ukraine as proxy against russia. If they really cared about peace they wouldn't have offered Ukraine nato membership. That would have threatened Russian sovereignty.
Can f16 escalate is the real question dummies. Go help people in Lahaina instead giving money to coutures that have nothing to do with us
I heard they are looking at the Gripen. That would be a great choice for them. The F-16 needs clean runways, it probably would suffer from FOD. The Gripen was made to land on roads if necessary.
they can have both... anything to take down evil Russia they are no different then nazis

Yes we're all familiar with how politicians work. 😂
These analysts spoke truthfully, no weapons are silver bullet. They can help in terms of the war, in terms of translating some battle field success, but not the tide of the war. Its has to be resolve diplomatically, unless the west injects a lot of advanced weapons, ground based systems, air based systems and sea based systems to force Russia out of Ukarine. Russia will only talk if they know they are losing.
Russia tried to talk for about an year and only when they realized the west is absolutely callous to their concerns did they, for lack of other options, invade Ukraine
West will always lose against Russians! They tried to subdue them for the past 200 years and they were always crushed. Now NATO and Ukronazis are absolutely obliterated in Eastern Ukraine!
For 9 years, Russia kept demanding the same thing: Ukraine must be under Russia's direct control. There's many concessions that Ukraine could make, but returning to degradation is not an option.
@@nevigodstanson7160 do you consider military neutrality direct control? Not joining NATO is just one possible decision to control. Or do you think remaining militarily neutral to save Ukrainian lives but joining the EU would have also provoked invasion?

Just a quarter of that would be enough to give every single resident of Maui over $50,000 in aid.

The overwhelming majority of the world community fully agrees that Putin should start negotiations leading to a withdrawal from Ukraine. It was amply demonstrated on 2 March 2022.
Ukraine needs to cut its losses and negotiate an end to the war. Give up the land that has already been lost. There is not progress being made and this war could go on for decades. The U.S. should lessen the weapons and ammo being supplied and encourage Ukraine to accept what has already been lost. If they can agree to this then maybe there's a chance they could still join NATO. A war with no end benefits no one.
