Russia Strikes F-16 Airbase Where Ukraine May Deploy It Jets

- After a month of tense calm in the skies, Russia has returned to the fight with a vengeance.
On March 21st, 2024, a major long-range bombing campaign sent shivers down spines in Ukraine. Strategic bombers, the colossal Tu-95 "Bear-H" and sleek MiG-31 "Foxhound" fighters, unleashed a barrage of missiles. Kyiv, the city that has been resisting for the past two years, was pounded by Russian warplanes again in one of the biggest attacks during the entire conflict.
British intelligence reported at least ten bombers and twenty missiles were used, including advanced weaponry like AS-23a Kodiak cruise missile and the hypersonic Kinzhal air-launched missile. This arsenal hints at Russia's intent to overwhelm Ukrainian air defences and inflict maximum damage on strategic targets.
Military analysts are now scrambling to understand this sudden shift. However, British intelligence offers a compelling explanation, suggesting that Western sanctions might be crippling Russia's ability to maintain and execute complex air missions. Difficulty acquiring critical aircraft parts could be forcing them towards long-range stand-off strikes. This minimises the risk of Russian jets venturing into Ukrainian airspace, where a deadly gauntlet of air defence systems awaits them.
But these were not just symbolic strikes. The targets chosen hinted at a deeper strategy. Shortly after, on March 22nd, Russia launched another significant attack. This time targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The strike resulted in casualties and widespread power outages.
And they kept pushing, targeting a key military airfield in the Khmelnytskyi region. This facility was rumoured to be slated for deployment of F-16 fighter jets recently pledged by Western allies.

"British Intelligence" is one of the biggest oxymoronic sentence.
I agree with you, whenever I see that quote
Example of painful truth. The smart, capable Brits of WW2 fame are long gone with no replacements.
Still looking weapons for masiv distraction in Irak
Zelensky and the west destroyed Ukraine playing games....not Russia
How do you figure?
@@dallas1891 saya pun fikirkan sama, jika zalensky tidak sertai nato pasti rusia tidak rasa terancam, jika Ukraine diancam nato sudah pasti rusia akan membantunya

Ah yes, classic "British intelligence " that always saying russian keep running out of equipment since 2022😌😌
Russia kicks ass and the UK says they are running out of aircraft parts?
In another words ,you cannot have peace because arms industry is not making money .
Exactly
In other words Putin is a racist imperialist who invaded not for self defense but because he wanted to steal Ukraine.
Arms industries are making incredible amounts of money right now as countries build their defences against war. In fact, they can't make artillery shells fast enough. Check your facts. Most European countries simply do not have the budgets to buy arms. Even Poland, who has spent the money, will not see the equipment for many years.
@@teetone3679 How can🤡 Zelenskyy' 🙄💩💩💩say Hes Winning the War that they shoot down missiles if they are begging for Patriots to all of Europe because they have none?

I think it's about time for the CIA and MI6 started spending tax payers cash on something worthwhile!
If the USA can not strike down hypersonic missiles how is Ukraine performing this feat
ahhhhh by attacking the launch sites?
@@Prowlerook That's assuming if you get close enough
@@Prowlerookby imagination and propaganda. some People Will believe anything
Because they are no more hypersonic than the V2. Remember the designers where arrested as the missiles are not truly hypersonic but rather only reach those speeds it's decent hence the comparison with V2
They really can.
The dream of a clown !
I thought the Corrupt west were saying that Russia didn't have any advance weapons 😂
Some still say that.
I'm not sure anyone on set believes it anymore.
And three days is quite popular too
It's obvious that the corrupt west lives in fantasy land of narcissistic dreams.
Corrup find out by Russia ,visit outside Moscow .😂 Why you think Russion soldiers steal from houses the toilets . THE DONT HAVE IN HOME .😂😂😂😂😂
I thought Russia was doing really well apart from the fact that their 3 day special operation has turned into a 3 year s**t show.
Ukraine better be wise and shuffle those F16 planes around A LOT, personally i would NOT let a F16 sit in the samer place for more than 6 hours tops.
cocinsky will sell this planes for new villa
@@darkopavlic6592 Planes fitted with biometric scanners, so only some pilots can fly the F16 from here at least, what do you think we are Russian farmers in the far east or something.
even 6 hrs is too long, 4 hrs,, Ruzzia will be watching the F16's flight patterns.
They need some smart crims to advise them, or top level detectives.
Stupid to trust American security after the leaks and bragging by youngsters.
The infiltrates, saterlights and drones.
Trow the dice and have them for burley when on ground.
You do know that F16's maintenace time is more than 6 hrs, right?
There has been trillions of American dollars spent to support a huge military industrial complex producing American weapons. This equipment has not performed up to expectations. The Russians, surprisingly, have countered US/NATO weaponry and military tactics quite effectively. They have developed advanced missile systems that the US/NATO does not have and has no defense for. Hello!!!
Garabage, Ivan. Explain why you have been fighting the world's 22nd largest military for ten years, and have stolen only 20% of the country.
@@thinkerly1 Spare me. Turn off your cable TV and get some real information. This war is OVER! The US/NATO led proxy trained Ukrainian military has lost 600,000+ men since Feb. 2022. The country has been devastated. The Russians are not Arabs in bed sheets. The are not conducting this war by your standards. It won't be long before the US leaves Ukraine much like Afghanistan, Vietnam, ect, ect. When is our government EVER going to learn?
I served in the Navy and was in law enforcement for 35+ years. Calling people juvenile names isn't going to change the facts. .
Salut Thinkerly Bob. Facile de comprendre pourquoi les russes n’ont pris que 20% de l’Ukraine... c’est pour épargner les civils. C’est sûr que faire la guerre avec des ”tapis de bombes” comme les améri-chiens, c’est plus sportif, les gens courent d’un missile à l’autre... mais le nombre de victimes est énorme. Les russes ont fait moins de victimes civiles en 2 ans et 3 mois que tsahal en 7 mois. Les améri-chiens tuent tout et seulement après ils prennent les puits de pétrole.
B8en à toi.
@@thinkerly1 Because they didn’t want to. Boris Johnson’s idea.
@@thinkerly1 Come on, fellow. Don't look stupid in public. Russia is NOT interested in acquiring more land. Karen NATO's intrusion into the U/R regional conflict has forced Russia to go after the puppet Neo-Nazis ruling Ukraine to eliminate a festering threat that has been going on for many years.
Why did your NATO violate the 2014 Minsk Cease Fire Accord by quietly arming "neutral, buffer" Ukraine? Why is your NATO constantly encroaching eastward after promising it would NOT "advance eastward one more inch"?
Do you know the difference between a SMO (Special Military Operation) and a full scale war? Very, very important. WW2 was a full scale war where entire cities were bombed and burnt to the ground. That's not happening in Ukraine. Russia is going after military related targets. This includes school and hospital buildings that Ukraine military has taken over for military use.
Really, were you born yesterday and know NOTHING of the background history of the U/R part of the world??
"Advanced" F-16 jets? These planes are older than dirt. Yep, they have had some upgrades but they are still 30-40 year old airframes. Yet another "game changer" as they say...
Still good
@@user-ym9qw3gg3j not for ukronazi airfilds full of dirt and holles.
Salut User. Certainement pas. Ils étaient bon il y a 50 ans, aujourd'hui les avions russe, qui eux n’ont pas 50 ans, ne vont en faire qu’une bouchée.
Bien à toi.
@@user-ym9qw3gg3j Not In Ukraine. Look up how uneven the surface of Russian and Ukrainian ariport runways are. Migs and Sukhois can handle it but not the delicate landing gear of western jets.
Game Changer #25 in a long series of "This time will be different.".
Striking a F-16 airbase when there was no F-16.
Just a friendly warning that the base is not safe.
because if there is no F-16 airbase then there can be no F-16 ..the F16 is a fussy bird about the standard of its nest ...must be perfect .. Its not battle hardened enough . A few stones on the runway ..its engine is stuffed unlike the MIG 29 . The US is about to learn a big lesson about what works in a real war and I think they already know it which is why there is a delay in sending the F16s . Should have arrived months ago
you always move mechanic workshops, Recovery units for its Emergency power unit and spare parts etc there first before the planes arrive. Now they cannot be maintained if they do arrive.
So why does the little green goblin keep begging for new Patriot batteries?!! They're all gone!! 😂😂😂
Somebody tell theittle guy with the Ron Johnson Tonsorial that the USA is poised at the onset of Open War with the USA and that WE not HIM are going to need EVERYTHING we have gave, even the Obsolete "Surplus" to pull ot out of our.... "hat"
And that WE are more important than HE is and he should go into hiding and let Peaceful Ukrainis to discuss their Culture as Partners with Russia.
Simply because Ukraine is a very big area to protect. I guess you don't look at a real map Ivan 😂😂😂
Why did Putin go have a booty-call with China's leader? Oh right, because he has to beg them for aid.
I’m gonna start calling him that now!
Ivan Ukraine is the biggest country in Europe by land,
So we need few to protect all the country
If only the Ghost of Kiev had one of those State of the Art F16s.
Are F16s in Ukraine yet?.. the date keeps being pushed back.
The F-16 requires ab ultra pristine landing surface and for some unknown reason they keep getting pot holes you could drop a Prius into.
Ukraine is trying to figure out how to protect the F16's when on the ground.... due to fly mid summer. Thing is ruzzia is eyeing where the F16's are flying/air base.
How could they be in Ukraine when Russia keeps destroying bases prepared to host them?
Ukraine should've picked the Gripens instead of the F16s
@@waludalu5102 Ukraine wants anything it can get, Finland did not say it was giving them Gripens.
They should have, the gripen is good, but is getting less useful each year.
Also, training men for thousands of available jets and spare parts is better than training them for a niche hundreds.
Viva mother russia
Like EVERY video on here.....footage is OLD....give it up dudette!
That is what I was saying before. Let's see if the F-16 can take off on dirt runaway. No argument that the F-16 is a pretty airplane and a showroom piece. But its not made for the battlefield. Just saying.
Also need long runways.
Not really sure ! F-16 are badass fighters, maybe the only aircraft with so much options .... Maybe they are not stealth but advanced enough to fool ennemies and destroy Them !
So why putler scared to death hearing Ukraine will get the plane that only for showroom???
@@lucouellet6315 only if they can get off the ground ... takeoffs are mandatory to be a 'badass fighter '
One word: PROPAGANDA!
Propaganda in Spanish means Advertisement.
That's the Score here.
Advanced 40 year old F-16 jets. Ok.
they have been upgraded bro
If UK intelligence concluded must be the truth!?
Yeah they're not the most objective observers
😂😂😂
Yet they got intelligents about the Russian terror attack even before Russian intelligents could smell it ☠️
Is this the same Zelensky who never condemned the shelling of civilians since 2014 !
Talking out of both sides of his slobby.
Ivan, you started the war on 18 February 2014 when your agents shot dead the police guarding the Donetsk and Lugansk City Halls and took those Halls over.
Pootin did it

Airfield wasn't targeted until f16 was ready
UK DoD a purveyor of facts? Very interesting. I no longer see frequent updates from them.
If Patriot missiles "Are the most advanced system" then Ukraine is all but finished.
old news, this is may now not march
New readers just now discovering it.
Keeping F-16 locations hidden and protected is going to be a monumental task. Gonna require ingenious logistics. F-16 not best choice my view- Swedish Gripen designed for short takeoff from ordinary roads, with minimal maintenance requirements. French Rafaele 2000's or EurofighterTyphoons would have been much better. Even F-18 having more rugged landing gear and short take-off required for operating from aircraft carriers. Ukraine rejected Australia-s offer to GIVE them 41 F-18 Hornets, calling them "flying trash" Go figure.
But there are a lot of F16s around. I agree, Gripen is a better plane for this war.
I'm sorry, British Intelligence is an oxymoron.
All of Ukraine's airfields and air strips are cratered. You cannot take off or land on them, there is also multiple times in which within the last year Ukraine has had to stage and have jets taxi and take off from literal highways and roads out of sheer desperation to get airborne.
ahahahahahaaaaaa
Yes quite a lot of air forces plan to use motorways as runways. Some have actually done it.
pathetic
ru trash
F-16 nothing? Even the old F-16’s are very dangerous!
Really? Maybe for a old Mig-21 or Mig-23 or a bad Pilot in a Mig-29A! Those aren't F-16C+ but very old AM's! They don't even have a Multirole ESA RADAR but a old and small Doppler that is easily jammed.
US and EU Countries must leave Ukraine
Too late 😂😂😂😂
They're invited, so they can stay as long as they're needed. Russia is uninvited and must vacate.
Exactly. Results from playing in someone’s backyard ignoring years of verbal warnings
¿ and Putin no?
@@funkyfoot Nato and EU are not invited as the Kyiv regime is an American puppet regime. Russia is invited by the Donbas.
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💙🤍❤️
The average Ukranian family is suffering under these continuing attacks from Russua. its hell for them. May God help them.
Good strategy.
The big problem with the F16 is its uncompromising basing requirements. The Grippen would have been a superior choice. Not so much in combat, but in sustainability. It can fly from unimproved stirps or a bit of road. The F16 requires not just a long perfect runway, but a long spotless runway with no rocks or bottle caps that can be sucked into the engine. The F16 is optimized for the kind of insurgent intervention where you fly from somewhere the insurgents can't reach. It falls down a bit where there's the possibility of close quarters combat on its home turf.
“Fear of overwhelm Ukrainian air defence”??? Did Ukraine even had capable air defence when this war started or now ??
Lol Ukraine is literally littered with all kinds of air defences that y russian jets are getting shot frequently ...
if this amount is spent on agriculture everyone will prosper regardless of nation
shame on you !! why are you reporting old news as new ~!!!
Zelensky Top Gun 3 : Maverick???
Should be under protection of patriot defense system.
Keep messing in a giants backyard with serious consequences!😢
Very informative
Advanced F=16 jets. This is very interesting adjective.,
Excellent explanation!
Resisting for two years lolol 😂 wot tripe and lies lol 🤣
zelenskie is facing invevitable deffeat
An F16 vs a MIG is like the difference between an AK47 and a M16 .. one is very reliable in all conditions but not super accurate whereas the other is more accurate but not as reliable .. which one would you choose ?
Think how many things we could have done in America with all that money……….
Drop in the ocean for normal US military spending.
Give us latest update it was of three months earlier
thereare a lot of Nato f16 debris all over ukraine...
Is this news old? From March?
Yes, Ukraine prepared for this. Thats why they build many air bases, whilst waiting for the F16's to arrive. Planning ahead.
In case you didn't figure it out... whatever "British Inteligence" says is pure BS! Just saying.
I always thought missiles would get to a target safer by flying 300 metres above ground owing to elevations.
these are terrain following subsonic cruise missiles you mean. The Ballistic missiles fly to the outer edge of the atmosphere and then accelerate down at high angle over mach 7 at striking the target
Russia always 💯 step forward 🙄
Pinpoint accuracy 😂😂😂😂😂.. Ya Right!!!!!!!😂
They should have got the Swedish Grippen which can operate off roads ..Even a MIG 29 can operate off poorly prepared surfaces as the jet inlets are above the engines on takeoff ..Not hoping for much when the F16s do arrive ..if ever
In this world of accurate missiles aircraft like the F16 need prepared runways which are easy targets .. the west is learning a lot about what works and what doesn't
Advanced F 16 jets. Really?
i dont understand why you think russias military would be cripples so easy
WORLD KNOWS NOW AIR POWER, how RUSSIA HUNT DOWN F16
Ukraine soldiers are still powerfull.
Patriot system is ancient, while it has been modernized, there are more advanced surface to air missile systems in US arsenal, AEGIS, MEADS and one other I forgot the name for, but that probably was surface to surface missile system.
How become the Patriot batteries did not work this time?
Russia is a big country and it has more military strength.
Peace talks with Russia is only the solution.

@@JenniferA886 A bit stupid, are we ????

@@JenniferA886 It says that the Russian army will be defeated and the leadership will be replaced as returning troops revolt

Stop calling...
We can't support
whats the price of one Patriot battery ( Launcher vehicle. command nerve centre and radar tracking and fire solution compund) ? i hear its between 1,5 and 2 Billion dollars,,,, yes Billion with a B. And just when you think thats expensive...they always fire off 2 missiles at one incoming target threat. The cost of each missle is 2,5 million ( replacement cost). Thats alot of money to spend on a 50 000 dollar drone
I can't watch this
Is Ukraine distroy all Russian jet fighter .😅
So now that we have the Ukranian side of this, what is real?

Imagine if the russian people found out for themselves.
The Ukrainians fight for what you cant envision.

@@stevencharnock9271 even less if ukraine stayed neutral or Russia was accepted by stupid NATO
@@yuanfurbax Wind back 20 years and Russia looked like it may join both NATO and the EU as for NATO being stupid they are far from that, they have managed to watch Russia destroy itself on the battlefield while building new equipment for themselves and providing old stock to Ukraine thus giving western economies a boost in the arms industries. NATO has two new members so expanded it's armed forces with out cost. Stupid is what the Russians have done by invading a sovereign state
Sorry but cat and mouse seems more likely beware nato😂
Salut. Le patriot est peut-être très bien mais combien pourrait il arrêter de missiles ou de drones d’un coup? Très peu, si il arrive à arrêter 4 missiles, c’est déjà énorme... mais je n’y crois pas une seconde, il est littéralement impossible que ce soit, encore, l’arme qui va retourner la situation et permettre une défense sereine, c’est comme les F-16, qui étaient très bon... en 1985... 50 ans après les russes créent des avions d’un autre gabarit, les F-16 ne feront pas le poids, surtout avec des types qui viennent à peine d'y toucher, 2 ans ne sont clairement pas suffisant pour faire une bataille entre un fer à repasser et un faucon, et il faudra faire avec les pilotes russe... les avions russes repèrent, et peuvent abattre, un avion à 400km, pas sûr que le fameux F-16 soit à la hauteur, à l’époque, qui sait... mais aujourd'hui, clairement non.
L’Ukraine est cuite, ils ne veulent pas le dire mais ils le savent, mais ils continuent dans le massacre quand même, quelle absurdité. Toutes ces vies gâchées, par profit pour nazilensky, par suivisme pour l’Europe et la France, par mesquinerie pour les améri-chiens. Le mensonge pour donner envie de sang, ils me font tous vomir.
They all make me sick.
Merci, au plaisir.
Is there anywhere in Ukraine that's safe from missiles or drones...for either side?
Now i can tell how Russia can defeat the F35 and F22. They would just destroy tanker planes and airports to prevent them from flying. Russia has a weak Airforce but they do have a strong ground force
Wanna play silly games.....well come on😅😂😅😂
It was always going to be a missile war with Russia who have used them throughout so no surprises , the real surprise is the US failing to support Ukraine for 8 months , stopping the US of F16 s throughout the war .
Ukraine have beeb put on the backfoot because of this .
British intelligence ?/whats his name ?
Why west is interested in russian areas 😂😂
If Ukraine can station f16s it can station nuclear tactical weapons i figure

Major Scott Ritter said F16s are nuclear capable.
Russia said it will treat the F16s as if they ARE carrying nuclear stuff.
They are. Any plane that can drop a bomb can drop a nuclear bomb.
The allies must allow Ukraine to do to Russia what Russia is doing to Ukraine, that is authorising Ukraine to strike Russian aviation bases, ammunition centres, headquarters, oil depots, etc. with their supplied weapons, and of course provide Ukraine with a strong air defense infrastructure...(this should have been done from year 1!... so much time wasted!!!) ... it is interesting to read that the allies were not pleased with the way the Ukrainians developed their 2023 counter-offensive, but they had no air defense nor air support! (no ally would have run a couteroffensive without these 2 elements!)
