It seems naive to think that Ukrainian pilots have not been trained on F-16's even before the "invasion" given the crisis since 2014. They gotta have pilots ready to go.
These weapons that are being 'gifted' is a total lie !! They are being supplied under lend lease, ukraine will have to pay for them
Bullshtick
Clearly blinkered!
F-16's are useless for Ukraine at this point.
Bakhmut fell….Can't tell the truth from the first minute. Sad.
Glory to Ukraine – Слава Україні! – Slava Ukrayini!
Training pilots, engineers and supplying parts. Might be ready by 2025.
The serbs shot down f117 stealth. I wonder how much the russ will shoot non stealth aircraft like f16 then
Another Game changer ! F16 next US collective wonder weapon – I wonder what happened to other game changers himars, Leopard and British challenger tanks with DU ammo and not to forget us patriot missile -only good at shot down drones.
Its looks like Russia has made Hungarian goulash of these super weapons. Russia will Win and the world is with Russia…
Hmm Hiroshima visit
What sort of idiot is Biden, is senility setting in. He going to give Zelenskyy F16 on his word that he won’t use it to drag NATO into a shooting war with Russia. That’s like letting a fox in the hen house on the promise that he won’t eat any of the chickens.
Why do they need F-16? I thought they were already winning the war 😂
สิ่งที่มึงจะได้ตอบแทนคือความหายนะทางเศรษฐกิจไอ้โจมันจะทวงทั้งต้นทั้งดอกเบี้ยมึงจะเอาอะไรไปทวงกับปูตินกับคนรัสเซียเขาเบี้ยวไม่จ่ายหนี้
Your behind, Bakhmut is done.!
Language isn't a problem for Ukrainians at all, we're multilingual, we've used to learn things quickly from game consoles to practically anything in different language.
Backmud is already completely under Russian control
NATO Propaganda . All "game changer" weapons are history or will be dead in the water. Turkish drones ☑ HIMARS☑ Howitzer 2000☑ PATRIOT☑ ,so will be that 50 year old plane. The US will even strip radar out of 'em because they know some pilot will sell one to Russia.Mission accomplished . Ukraine is in debt for the next 100 years and "Blackrock" owns aready 30% of the country.
Lol
Ukraine has lost
Diamonds go through Belgium on their way to the US and elsewhere. There’s a Brussels NY flight that’s known to be people bringing in diamonds for New York’s diamond district, so not surprising Belgium would lobby to keep that trade intact.
F16s to Ukraine? F16s go boom… Just like all the other useless wunderwaffen the west has unloaded onto the poor, stubborn Ukrainians.
Русские создали идею о том, что НАТО — это враг, что США — это зло… Когда на самом деле это они уезжают из своей страны, чтобы убивать и разрушать в соседней стране… Но, по-моему, НАТО помогает защищать Украину свою территорию от агрессора. Никто не хочет разрушать Россию… мы хотим, чтобы русские прекратили войну. Россия сбрасывает бомбы на мирных жителей, это плохо. Кого пытается освободить Россия, если сами россияне несвободны?
Once again the tele promotes a fantasy. Why are some so stupid, for there can be no other word to describe them, to buy into this tale as they have all the others.
From Sweden, Gotland! All for Ukraine Слава Україні!
Truth is that this war is fueled by Ukrainian ethno-nationalism. This is ultimately a toxic dead end which will ruin that nation.
Sorry, but when exactly did Russia run out of missiles?
Unprovoked?
Unleashed in the East! Yeeeahaa.. Judas for ever!
Slava Ukraini! 🇫🇮❤️🇺🇦
I am tired of listening to this stupidity. U don;t know watt U don't know.
THESE BRITISHERS STILL HAVE COLONIAL MINDSET. LOOK GUYS, PLEASE SAY DONKEY IS A DONKEY. THERE IS NO USE SAYING A DONKEY IS A HORSE OVER AND OVER.
It is a game changer ! Bye the time it takes to cut the land link. Then time to get "Crimea" !! F-16s go
“If Russia chooses to freeze the conflict” 😂 – wishful thinking, demilitarisation / installation of a puppet Ukrainian government is inevitable
Excellent as always! Thankyou Jake.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining nato was a red line (November 2021). The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.
Unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.
More propaganda from this channel this is the west getting ride of their old F16s this wil change nothing
Total Propaganda – F-16's will just get chewed up by Russian air defense like all the other NATO obsolete weapons poured in to the Ukraine by the Neocon Collectives West. However the Telegraph spin it the AFU, apart from a few tactical "wins", have suffered appalling losses at the hands of the LPR, DRP and Wagner forces. The main force of Russian army have not been unleased yet. The NATO proxy war is a complete debacle for Ukraine's US state department installed client regime and the people of western Ukraine who have not managed to escape. The Russian stated goal is to destroy the AFU [which they more or less have] not to gain territory. They will negotiate territory once the US, UK and EU pull out their funding and weapon supplies.
