Is anyone going to be surprised when this is confirmed? Don’t forget about the one or however many taken out in the missile attacks the other night.

Par for the course. Remember, the hangers for the F-16s destroyed that were geo located from a PR video the Ukes filmed there and released.

Can someone cue Yakity Sax, please?

It’s the updated version of shooting yourself in the foot.

What do people expect? The average age of a Ukrainian soldier is now 45. The men who were serving in the Ukrainian army at the beginning of this “conflict” are mostly dead and have been replaced men in there 40s and beyond along with underage boys. These newcomers are not professional soldiers and do not know what they are doing. They are little more than cannon fodder in most cases and we are trying to equip them with advanced systems that take a lot of training to master.

Hard call for the propagandists to have to make. Which is better - say it was shot down by the enemy, or claim an own goal? “Our air defenses are so good we can shoot down everything in the sky - including our own planes.

Question for those keeping score: what was the nationality of the pilot?

LOL!

Now, that, there, is funny and sad.

Sucks to not seek a more peaceful solution, but, hey, if you can conquer Moscow, go for it.

I can’t stand either of these countries.

Stop spending other people’s money and seek to minimize your own deaths and loss of land.

That’s three confirmed F16 kills. Not bad. Clean up on Isle 9.

“Earlier today, US sources reported the downing of the first Western F-16 fighter jet delivered just weeks ago to the Air Force of Ukraine. “

Give a man a jet, and he’ll just crash it.
Make him earn it and he will have value in (of) it.

Apparently they shot down an F16 with a Patriot missile. Killed UKR pilot.

This is really the Brandon Marxist Junta war in a nutshell.

Hope Zeepers see the problem. End this war.

Someone on another site said these planes were supplied to Ukraine by Holland and Denmark, not the U.S.. Don't know if it's true, but as of February of 2024, those two NATO countries are among many who have failed to reach the 2% minimum spending budget on their own defense they agreed to for NATO membership.

Germany is shown in this article, but has since budgeted the 2% of their gross domestic product for their own defense. This year was the first time that Germany has gotten their funding up to date since the Cold War ended.

Map shows which Nato countries fail to reach 2% minimum spending budget
