You may be a coward always fearing “oh what will the bully do”. Obviously that means no one who actually is involved in making defense policies won’t bother about such concerns. That ended with Chamberlain. Because we know that not doing anything is what escalates a bully. It is very clear: Russia is violating the UN charter and the international agreement it has signed and hence are conducting not only an illegal aggression, but are engaged in an illegal annexation of land. The international community, according to international agreements Russia has signed, has the right to aid Ukraine in defending itself. Not only by sending arms, but actually by sending troops too. Some would also argue that the international community also must aid in protecting the UN charter and international law buy providing resources to end Russias crime. Russia as the illegal aggressor is always the one who escalate the situation if the situation escalates. Never the defender.

Any Volunteers to maintain and fly that surplus and give native pilot’s more time to train?

Adding F-16'S might be first used for air to air while the Migs can be used for air to ground. Basically more aircraft will enhance the Ukrainian Air Force. Real War is not a Video Game. The real difference is that the F-16's radar range and ordnance weight is 3 times that of the Mig-29 not to mention the vast array of ordnance the F-16's can fire. That means a F-16's can see a Mig-29 3 times further than a Mig's radar can and fire on it before the Mig knows anyone is there. That is the real change on an air to air battle. This establishes a wider range for Ukrainians Air Force and a much smaller one for Russia, here by reducing Russians use of combat aircraft in the conflict because of fear of them being lossed.

What?

Defense plans? More like offense.

There are hundreds of foreign pilots ready to sign for Ukraine

they seem to have driven the Russians to trench warfare, like WW1

they should secure our borders first

Nothing will change Russia is Russia .

I hope the F16 don,t change the game and keep the game conventional.But he can certainly change the game since he has the power to carry 1 atomic bomb.

The “battlefield positions” might appear to be static but Ukraine is finding itself in a crisis. They are suffering horrifying casualties.

@@timkincade9763 Of cause the Putin regime will hit the airfields as much as they can. Let's hope the Ukrainians will get Patriot and other systems enough to make the asphalt repair teams able to fix the runways fast enough in the transition period.

This is all bulshit about trainning capability!

It does not matter how F16 stack up Ukrainian Migs. It matters how stack up to Russian air defense and Russian jets and the training of Russian pilots. And that does not bode well!

No training. Jet's will be lost and Russian will get the technology

Finally! Now watch Russian bots start to cry and make silly excuses!

Pilots? You men they haven’t been training them for two years? Also, why haven’t the started buying Grippens for the last two years. Looking forward, Swedish/SAAB Grippens would add a huge amount to the tactical flexibility. Short logistics train, simple to maintain, not too expensive,can operate from primitive airfields. Even if a couple of years off, 60 late model Grippens reasonably add another dimension.

there are enough pilots, they are caught every day in Ukraine

Ukraine needs the Grippen. They don't have aerial refueling tankers so they won't be able to fully exploit them. But with the Grippen, they can land on motorways and be refuelled and rearmed and rapidly get back into the fight.

The Gripen is expensive, can only be produced in small numbers, and actually requires high-grade runways. It actually doesn't take off from highways. Those are legit runways.

The main reason for F16 is the number of available planes. There are just 200 or so Gripens, so Sweden had to give away from their own active fleet if you wanted significant numbers. So it is not so much about capabilties of Gripen vs F16, but more about the obvious pick (F16 in available numbers) vs the Russian planes.

Call Mantis Toboggan M.D. he is a doctor and a pilot.

lets put as many game changes and change the game in a video as possible, it will make everyone impressed...

00:00 - _"Ukraine's battlefield position has been largely static"_ What tosh, it's been in slow retreat for months now, lying doesn't alter that fact. The F16s have to make a difference, but how fast they can be assimilated into daily military operations is difficult to say... friendly fire from them or upon them takes place in mature airforces, so dumping them into this battle isn't going to be easy. High tech appears to have cancelled each other out returning a large chuck of the battle to the kind of trench warfare seen in both world wars, which replies heavily on 155 rounds, and thats the kind of grinding warfare Russia excels at, beefed up and supplied by the North Koreans.

Ukraine is finished 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

It won't matter much they are currently destroying the airfields and what remains of their current air force. The jets won't last very long once they arrive.

All Ukraine needs is more and more drones with increased capability and probably more skilled drone pilots.There are more problems around the use of the F16's than they are worth

I think Russia's definition of violate and other countries' is different.

Poland has now chance to retake Lviv

there is no hope left for ukraine the weapon has run out this is the final hope

Every time DW or BBC releases a video on Ukraine, the comment track goes nuts with Russian astroturfers and bots. At this point it's gotten to be a joke, with how insane the comments on these videos get. I'm honestly surprised they still allow commenting on these videos at all by now. edit: case in point, look at the replies.
