Why F-16s in Ukraine Will END Russian Airforce

In the fierce Russo-Ukrainian conflict, air superiority remains elusive for both sides. 🛩️ Yet, the tide might turn with the U.S. agreeing to send F-16s to Ukraine, a historic first. Will these jets change the game? 🚀 Despite their age, F-16s outshine Soviet and Chinese models, offering versatile attack and defense capabilities. 🌍 This video delves into the potential of F-16s in rewriting aerial warfare and tipping the scales in Ukraine's favor. ⚔️ #F16 #Ukraine #russia #militaryanalysis #AirSuperiority #fighterjetshowdown #fighterjet

The US has not agreed to send their own F16s to Ukraine. They agreed not to block other countries from transferring them. Important to be accurate on these things.

0:18 The US didn't send F-16s to Ukraine. The Netherlands and Denmark did that. All the US did was to not forbid those countries from sending them.

Mistakes galore, just in the first minute alone I found like 3-4 major mistakes or inaccuracies.
No, the US didn't say they would send F16, they said they would allow other countries that own F16 to send theirs, as military equipment usually needs approval for selling or giving away to third parties by the main seller.
The F16 isn't a 'late' fourth generation aircraft, it is THE 4th generation aircraft. The latest upgraded models (that are not even on the table for Ukraine) may be considered late fourth generation, but that goes for basically all aircraft with modern upgrades.
For NATO old soviet jets were never much of a consideration in the first place, with the exception of some newer eastern members, that still had some in storage, and Chinese aircraft were never a consideration, because they didn't even exist until a few years back (the Chinese jets itself were old soviet jets).

It is a bit annnoying to hear that the dutch and danish are giving their planes to save money on decommissioning. That is not true. The dutch even canceled a deal where they sold F16's, so they could given them to Ukraine.

USA isn't sending any F16s!!
They have allowed Denmark, The Netherlands and Norway to donate F16 AMs.

There are so many mistakes in this video that I must assume that it is written by an AI.

Ukraine pilots training in Sweden on SAAB JAS Gripen too

The F16 which are gonna be supplied to Ukraine are not American donations but from Danmark and the Netherlands, they had too ask permission which was refused several times but after some talks the USA finally gave their permission to send the F16 to Ukraine.

[h.alfred]

In depth donation list:
"-Denmark is donating 19 of its 40 F-16AM/BM Block 15 mid-life upgrade (MLU) aircraft to Ukraine.
-Belgium is sending an indeterminate number of its 53 F-16AM/BM Block 15 MLUs ( assume about the same numbers as other allied countries aprox 20+),
- as is Norway which has 25 remaining F-16AM/BM Block 15 MLUs ( I recon about half of current stock, about 10-15 birds, like others ).
-The Netherlands has said it is sending 24 of its 42 F-16AM/BM Block 15 MLUs to Ukraine, with more potentially to follow.
To protect the airframes 8 Patriot batteris ( serving currently 2 from Germeny, 1 from the USA, heard 5 more to be delivered) will be ready by end of 2024. Other air defence systems also on the way .
Note:Argentina will pay $320 million for the acquisition of 24 Danish F-16 jets.
Ukraine could purchase more f16 if they allocated money for it ( more likely in the long run) .
To wage an efficient war against the agressor, our heroes would need between 200-300 f16s, plus all the weapons come with them.
Update (12.04.24): "Norway is preparing to deliver 22 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine as part of an air coalition."
Update (27.04.24) : Belgium transfers the entire F-16 fleet to Ukraine in the medium term, 44 in service + 8 trainer aircrafts.

With F-16, it is better than no F-16 in your Airforce.

[kaipirinha]

That reasoning for only 7 losses in 2023 is far fetched. If you lost most of your aircraft the previous year, naturally, you lose fewer as you fly fewer sorties. The rate of loss per sortie flown has not changed between the two reference years.

[rawprawn]

This channel has, in one vid, destroyed any credibility it may have had. Inaccuracies, bullshit and hyperbole - unbelievable! Then again, it might be an April fools joke ....

[bigsilverorb]

For for first time in this entire conflict, I clicked on a clickbait-titled video purely to improve my mood. I'm praying at this point that Western support for Ukraine is occurring in the dark.

How to get YouTube money:
1 have AI produce a video full of errors.
2 let viewers comment to correct them
3) get those clicks

[harfenspieler]

There are so many factual mistakes in this video that we could use it as misinformation bait for the FSB. Sorry if I blew your cover.

[kenziedayne]

I don't care about "might, maybe, should"... I only care about what is actually happening. Stick to facts not expectations.

[davidgreenwitch]

As much as we all want to see Russia on the retreat, I wouldn't hold my breath here. We heard too many stories of game changers. I guess if anything, a consistent and long lasting support is what changes this war.

[ColonelJohnmatrix]

The F-16 will not be a game changer. But will be an important element of a group of systems that can make the invasion much more difficult for Putin.

[prikkelontwerp]

I live in the Netherlands and the netherlands only give 18 F16 aircrafts so i don't know how you get at the number 52?

16:30 "being able to take off from regular civilian roads, something that's unthinkable in modern aircraft"

F-18 Super Hornet, F-15 EagleEX, F-35 C, and the Saab Gripen all have rough-runway capability, and every single one of them are modern aircraft in production. Su-35, and Su-57 are also rough-runway capable, as is the J20. All of these are modern aircraft with recent design (or re-design) history.

C'mon Simon. This is 5-second Google search level of inaccuracy.
