The combo of F-16 plus AWACS plus radar guided AMRAAM’s could prove a deadly counter to Russias continued use of glide bombs. The AMRAAMs have a longer range than those glide bombs, so the Russian aircraft that are launching them could be targeted.
This is very good but not war-changing. Ukraine was seriously low on combat jets full stop. F-16 can pretty much do the same job as the Migs and SUs.
As far as dog fighting flankers, without AWACS and fuel tanker support, the capabilities of the F-16 are severely diminished. She’s got a small radar, and short range. And NATO isn’t going to let the Ukrainians have access to the top shelf armaments bc they don’t want Russia, Iran, and China reverse engineering battle captured tech.
But there is one nice improvement, at least: F-16s are able to use all missile modes for NATO munitions instead of the couple available through converted Soviet era fighters. Some important features like BVR and multi-target engagement likely don’t work, or are severely limited, with Ukraine’s MiGs.
In wake of but not actually connected to in any way.
These fucking morons marching around burning things, smashing things, stealing things, scaring and injuring people are just that, morons.
Not only would their behaviour be appalling and unacceptable even if the arrested suspect in the 3 murders was a Muslim immigrant, he wasn’t. He was born in Cardiff FFS and his parents are Christians. Exploiting his heinous acts to promote their own hateful ideology is beneath contempt.
This is what happens though when you have years and years of politicians stoking the fires of anti-immigration sentiment. No surprise that these far right fuckwits were chanting Stop the Boats.
Thanks a bunch May, Johnson, Sunak, Braverman, Patel, et al. You seeing now what your methods have led to? We already knew that Farage and Yaxley-Lennon were evil opportunistic cunts, but it’s your adoption of their attitudes and language that sees towns across England and beyond in fear and in flames. I hope you’re fucking proud of yourselves.
