Wait till they get the F-16s
The beginning of the end. Would you trust Pee Wee Zelensky?
So much hype about the F-16s, but it seems to me they are not suited to this war. While all the talk has been about training pilots, that’s the least of it. These planes have flights crews, not just pilots, for a reason. It’s not just about flying the things — there is maintenance and so forth.
And what airfield are they supposed to use? MiGs can take off and land on anything, even fields. F-16s need a scrupulously clean runway or some bit of debris can get sucked into the engine and bye-bye F-16.
This guy is very much pro-Ukraine, former crew on one, seems legit (unlike so many on Twitter) and explains in detail:

More challenges as outlined by a another staunch pro-Ukrainian (and neocon):

I just can’t see these F-16s being the game-changer some are making them out to be. Then again, I have no military background. Perhaps someone else here who does can explain.
