Ask pretty much any F-16 pilot who transitioned from another fighter and they will tell you they were behind the aircraft for at least the first 100 hrs in the plane and they did not become truly proficient until 3-400 hrs.

Those damn bastards are itching for WW III and with a little dumb luck they just may get it. It is amazing how the world is going from dumb to stupid.

You want WWIII, you freepin' idiot.

Sane people have to rely on Putin the and Russians to be the ones to be the adults and show restraint.

Do you want us to give Ukraine nukes, too? Do you think we can "win" a nuclear war?

You're a fool.

Well, clearly, then, we should be arming them to the teeth, up to an including strategic nuclear weaponry. I mean, after all, they’ve proved how capable they are... (We are being led into war.)

Russia’s S-500 air defense system will make short work of those F16’s. Ukraine lack the manpower to defeat Russia and we are just throwing good money after bad supporting these idiots.

This post/publication is either espionage or propaganda. Which is it?

“Yahoo News on Thursday obtained and published an internal US Air Force assessment that detailed the F-16 training two Ukrainian pilots underwent at Morris Air National Guard Base...”

Zelinsky continues his worldwide Green T-Shirt Begging tour. When he finally goes home, the Kremlin will try to assassinate him just as he did Putin.

Gimme a break! I’ve heard cock ‘n bull stories before but this one takes the cake. Too much FAKE NEWS comin’ out of the District of Corruption these days. What makes Ukranium (sp) “pilots” so much more superior than U.S. pilots? If Leslie Nielsen hadn’t passed away, he would have been able to take Latrine Jean-Pierre’s job whenever he wanted it. “Nothing to see here!”

TOTAL BS.

It’s not just an airplane, it’s a platform, a weapon system that carries many different missiles and yes of course guns too.

It takes a lot of simulator time and actual practice to master the various onboard weapons. Most of the time is spent becoming familiar with those. This training is ESSENTIAL to survival.

Not to mention the American and allied pilots normally go through a much longer training program that encompasses air refueling, formation (including in the weather), and tactics — lots of training in tactics.

And it’s a MUCH less effective weapons system without the supporting AWACs, tankers, and satellite support.

It’s much too expensive a weapons system to just give to some third-world yahoos after a few orientation rides.

Let the Ukrainian pilots fly USAF Thunderbirds F-16s in an air show at Langley AFB.

If Jo Jo is smart, once Zelenskyyy’s boy take care of the Russkis, he needs to send them to do in the Red Chinese. Surely they can outfly any Chinese pilot.

No one sums up how dirty our foreign policy has been in Ukraine and explains how we provoked and wanted this proxy war with Russia better than Col. Douglas Macgregor. An interview with Macgregor:
