Ukraine finally deploying F-16 fighter jets, says Zelenskiy

  • President Zelenskiy announces use of U.S.-made fighter planes
    • Ukraine has long waited for the higher-capability jets
    • Kyiv hopes they will change war, Russia vows to shoot them down

Aug 4 (Reuters) - Ukrainian pilots have started flying F-16s for operations within the nation, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday, confirming the long-awaited arrival of the U.S.-made fighter jets more than 29 months since Russia’s invasion.

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.

You’re correct. Though the AWACS and AMRAAMs for the fighters are coming

I think those drones were doing a pretty bang-up job.

Quad copter drones are more comparable to artillery shells than fighter jets. Anti personal role.
