More western wonder weapons to the rescue. Fact is Vlad has just destroyed 24 Ukie aircraft ( in the last two weeks) from what our Pentagon claims, “ unverified, rumored long range Russian air to air missiles deployed “.

Accounts by surviving Ukie pilots state they “ never even had a squawk they were targeted”……F-16’s good and all, but their air to air missiles fall far short of Vlads latest, 300 mile ranged air to air missiles.

The collective West’s F-16’s will go the way of the Leopards, Strykers, MRAPS, M113’s and Bradleys…..burning heaps……for all the world to see.

The F-16 was not built for the new tactics and missiles being used in the Russia Ukraine War. The only reason that American gets away with using F-16s is because we use our stealth aircraft to take out the air defenses before the F-16s get anywhere close to the theater of battle.

Prediction: any F 16 that gets used in the front line area will be shot down.

I’m sure Hamas will be there backing up the Russkies. And the Russians are whining about giving Ukraine a jet that is how old?

European leaders don't even care about their own people.

Indigenous White Europeans are being outbred, murdered, and replaced in their own homelands by 3rd world savages from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.

When I was a kid, I would grab a dozen ants from anthill one and put them into anthill two again and again. Of course none of the ants in anthill two were ever injured while all of the ants from anthill one were slaughtered because of the gradual injection into battle.

That seems to be exactly military planners are doing to the Ukrainians.

At this point all they are doing is testing Russian air defence.

No actual military advantage can come to the Ukrainians from this.

They are being used as the military equivalent of crash test dummies.

“Denmark, Norway and Belgium have also announced they will give F-16 jets to Ukraine.”

If they REALLY thought that Russia was going to reconstitute the Soviet Union, one would think they’d keep their fighters, rather than having them get shot down in Ukraine.

Well, the Ukies just lost another Leopard by a Russian T-72, seems every single western wonder weapon is getting smacked by old Soviet weaponry.

I still don’t think that people have internalized the significance of the Ukrainians abandoning their vehicles part way thru the Counter-Offensive and attacking on foot.

They waited months for those NATO supplied vehicles. They went thru NATO tactics, NATO training. And they scrapped it all half way thru because the losses were so catastrophic and the results so poor.

Western militaries are a gigantic paper tiger.

The USA needs to put up the F35 and F22 to completely shatter the illusion. Because they are going to turn out to be billion dollar frauds as well.
