“The Netherlands will likely send F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine after pilot training, writes Bloomberg. The Dutch are really stepping up and clearly didnt forget that Russia shot down MH-17, which killed 283 people of which 196 were from The Netherlands.”

“Fighter Bomber listed mistakes committed by the 2 Russian Su-34 bombers who dropped bombs this week at Grayvoron. They dropped the bombs from too low altitude, flew without pre-flight preparation, didn’t know the target, etc. and won’t learn lessons.”

“How much of a threat will the Russian Air Force pose to Ukraine’s counteroffensive? We’ll find out, but the video shows the Russian Air Force is still making mistakes.”

The Netherlands will likely send F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine after pilot training

Hopefully, upon completion of training, the pilots will climb into their F-16s and fly them to Ukraine (location classified).

F-16s will be very useful in the counter-offensive.

They will be able to attack ruzzian vehicles that are enroute to the flanks of the counter-offensive...long before they get to the FLOT.

SDBs and 500lb JDAM-ERs would be the weapons of choice.

Ukrainian pilots could fly these missions and never pull over 5Gs. They would fly outside the ground threat envelope and ruzzian MiGs can't fly in Ukraine's airspace without being shot down.

NATO and the U.S. have announced that F-16 training would take 4 months.

I believe this is fall flag info. 2 months max.

There is a possibility F-16s are already in hangars in Ukraine.
