It’s always funny to read the stuff from the Pro-Zelensky-Ukraine-Happy About The Corruption & Money Laundering, Installed by Nuland & the State Dept Ukrainian Government that violated two treaties and Committed Attrocities against Russians Living In Ukraine.

Everything you and your ilk say is pure speculation based on what you want to happen with zero proof.

You have zero knowledge of the average Ukrainian citizen or member of their armed forces. A force which has been decimated, that is now co scripting teenagers and men in their 60s.

As for the Pakistanis, sadly, they are considered an ally. And they don’t get the fancy version of anything. They get the export versions.

The best information is that which is revealed by events. The Ukrainians have a remarkably good track record vs Russia over the past year.

Russia in theory should have a massive overmatch vs Ukraine on all fronts, from tech to materiel to the institutional military to just plain cash. But Ukraine has managed not only to resist them but to roll them back.

That outcome should inform us of many things.

As for the Pakis, one thing they did get was the look-down-shoot down capability, plus AMRAAMs. That is exactly the most likely use for Ukrainian F16’s, as a supplement to the Ukrainian S300 SAM systems, on which so much depends. The same F16 models are being retired right now by Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands, being replaced by F35’s. Those are the most likely source of F16’s for Ukraine.

The Pakis currently have some (18) of the latest F-16s, the block 50/52 plus. Definitely not a “monkey model”.

Advice - check before writing.
