Ukraine to Receive First F-16 Fighter Jets

U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken confirms the first F-16 fighter jets are en route to Ukraine. Norway and Belgium will also send additional aircraft, with a total of 128 jets needed to defend Ukraine's skies. Denmark and the Netherlands are leading the first wave of deliveries, while more are planned, including MiG-29s. These multi-role fighters will help Ukraine counter Russian missile strikes and support offensive operations.

The Summer of 2024 is half over, their arrival is more important than just talking about it.

[@rubiconklbrutorowman7577]

Absolutely wonderful indeed!

[@soewin9784]

Wise strategy, going step by step to protect Ukraine, Europe, EU, NATO, US, the civilised world. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Step by step to oppose evil? Not my approach.

They aren't going to say when, then Russia would know when..

The F16's Ukraine are getting are true all-weather multirole / swing role combat aircraft. They are getting the equivalent of a swiss army knife; good at a lot of everything. I personally would like to see dual-role strike fighters like F15E's but that is a little much and would take a lot more training, though they are rather akin to the Sukhoi SU-27. Given that, the training might be able to be streamlined.

[@louisecorchevolle9241]

and where do they land ?

[@BSL335]

Slava Ukraine 🇩🇰🇺🇦

[@damianlibby522]

Get your popcorn, n Pepsi
others wine, n breads. Many ads before show, thank you for your patience.

[@lw6001]

I believe the ultimate goal of F-16's to be deployed to Ukraine is roughly about 300. For now, you'll see them in Wolf Packs. But, they are on their way to several areas of Ukraine.

[@StreuB1]

My hopes is that they are also put to use in strike/recon duty. They excel in recon with suitable pods and would be a huge asset to ground forces.

[@1drummer172]

👏👏👏🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🙏

[@oscargrainger2962]

The jets are already there, the pilots are going through particular environmental training.

[@maggiealena]

The war will not change much now. If Ukraine gets all the aircraft then it will be a game changer on the Frontline. Once Ukraine gets 75 fighter jets, things will start to change. If Ukraine gets more than 128 fighter jets, that will help greatly to gain air supremacy over Ukraine. But that will be about 2 years down the road at least. Could be sooner but that's a big IF.

[@509brown]

Stay tuned!

[@heathercrowe307]

At last. 2 years too late.

[@The_ZeroLine]

I recommend to stop talking about it until we actually see its first sortie and Russia knows it’s there first sure.

[@vincentvandenberg4532]

US secretary of state Anthny Blinken announcing F-16's coming to Ukraine, while the US hasn't paid anything for them ... nor does the US provide a lot of special pilot training. I call it at least an underwhealming US performance, since the US has hundreds of F-16's and other older fighter planes in mothballs only catching dust ... Glory to the heroes of Ukraine!

[@AstroGremlinAmerican]

No, America ran a program to see if Ukrainian pilots are as smart as Americans. Turned out they were smarter and the program was a waste of time.

[@Altruistic-Viking]

Chicken Americans not sending jet and blocking the use of himars in ruzzia

[@kurtgreen1040]

We have a bad habit of fighting with one hand tied behind our back since ww2 it pisses me off to

[@jacobschnberg5382]

WHEN !!!! --- The fact is that thos old F16s was promished 1 year ago , --- and the summer is soon over !
When will Ukraine get those F16s with weapons

[@carnaud]

I guess we will never know

[@rymoe6299]

🙏🫡🇬🇧

[@RatTerminator]

Theyve been on their way for 2 yrs!!
🤬😤

[@AndyWoohoo666]

You know fighter jets are not like a car, anyone that drove a car before can just jump in and drive it. First it takes time to train pilots, support and maintenance crews, build the infrastructure around these planes.
The normal time to become a fighter jet pilot in the Air Force is about 2 years. However I do absolutely think the time was stalled but the F-16 was approved in August 2023 so that makes it almost 1 year ago and not 2 like you said. Fact is crucial for credibility so stick to fact.

[@AstroGremlinAmerican]

Whoa, hold on! Isn't this a bit hasty and reckless? There could be escalation. Is Jake Sullivan OK with this? He seems kind of scared.

[@JohnCSmith-lp1qr]

1:28 The President of Ukraine.... Vladimir Putin 😂

[@pekarr1]

Opsec busted

[@unsalbulent]

do not lie to people there is no F16 in Ukraine.

[@louisgiokas2206]

Did the channel need some filler? We know the F-16s are coming. They have been for a long time. Tell us when they actually get there and, more importantly, when they do something. Otherwise, this is not news.

[@hwfranjr]

WHOMIS GOING TO,FLYMIT,LOL,THEYMHAVE MOMREAL QUALIFIED PILOTS.
