Ukraine Looking For Retired F-16 Pilots? Fighter Pilots React.

We've been asked about going to Ukraine to fly F-16's. Good idea? Bad idea? These are our opinions on the flying, not the war. The best-case scenario is a cease-fire and peace.

Send Lindsey Graham, after he loses enough weight on his neck, to fit in the helmet.

There are Iraq and Afghanistan veterans going over there and coming back frustrated having been on the receiving end of air, artillery, and armor they were used to having on their side

This isn't fighting some militants in some sandirtistan country, this is fighting a country that has equal reach.

A captured mercenary is not a POW. They can be tried as a criminal.

Listening to Lindsey Graham, then to you guys, just confirms for the 100th time something I learned long ago:
"War is sweet to those who have no experience of it. But the experienced man trembles exceedingly in his heart at its approach."

Lindsay Graham should be condemned . He should not be in politics.

[bigearl]

Lindsey Graham should just shut his mouth.

US pilot are willing to fly over Iraq, Afghanistan that are weak and have no air-defense if you fly over Ukraine, you are up against advanced weapons that US pilot will not survive

[vendo]

it is easy to fly over a country that does not have the necessary weapons to shoot down your plane and with the help of support units you have an incredible advantage and you are not practically in danger of being shot down, but in Ukraine you are fighting against someone who has the same possibilities as you, the risk is simply 50:50 on both sides to be shot down or shot down

So Ukraine is looking for kamikaze pilots.

Some retired kids have a lot of Xplane and FSX experience in combat simulations. For sure they will turn the war tides from their laptops.

I am Russian and I live abroad. There is a Ukrainian family on my floor, and guess what? We're best friends and we drink together, being glad that no government is forcing us to fight eachother. We want peace and no casualties on either side. To an outsider, it's obvious what is being done. Any sane person wants no part of this war. Neither I, nor my Ukrainian friends see eachother as enemies. We were friends before the war started. Why would we suddenly not be friends anymore? Why would anything change between us, when we had nothing to do with the conflict? We made our contribution, by not being there.

Taliban learned to fly quickly after all the toys UncleSam left behind 😂😂😂 They had a parade last week ...

Himars, challenger, Abrams, patriot, leopard, f16, Wow United states must be making lots of money from this war by sending these game changers into battlefield. They have really changed the map of Ukraine- Game changer indeed.

There's nothing in this world that excites Lindsey Graham quite like the thought of Americans dying for foreign countries wars

In my country (South Africa) being a mercenary is a criminal act, no matter what side you are going to offer your services to for blood money. Why ? Because the world is messed up enough, with far too many wars and conflicts and regime change attempts, without having mercenaries adding more death, destruction, human rights violations and human misery to the picture. Your representative Lindsay Graham is a warmonger who cares nothing for human life nor limb, and would never ever put himself in the same life-threatening situations he’s trying to convince others to put themselves into. Stay out of this (and all other conflicts in the world which do not involve you). I have no dog in this fight - and neither do you.

Well, mover, obviously, utube didn't like what I replied to you about what you said. I'll just say this. Neither Iraq or Afghanistan attacked the US.

OSB and Al Queada attacked the US. Iraq was all about regime change and that's was the mission change in Afghanistan. It didn't work did it! No WMD in Iraq was there.

Don’t do it guys…. I’d miss the show..but going up against Su-35’s and S400’s in a souped up F-16A is nuts!
