PARIS — The first U.S.-made F-16 combat aircraft the Netherlands is donating to Ukraine will arrive in Romania's training center within two weeks, outgoing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on Monday.
"I expect the Patriot missiles to be delivered shortly, to aid Ukraine in the upcoming winter. And the same speed applies to the F-16s," Rutte during a video conference with Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy posted on messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
"The first ones will be shipped to the training center in Romania within the next two weeks so that day we will get ready for further training," he added.
Denmark, Norway and Belgium have also announced they will give F-16 jets to Ukraine.
"What is happening now in Gaza and the terrorist attack on Israel and all the follow-up from that will not, shall not and cannot distract us from what is happening between you and Russia, the fact that you are fighting off the Russia aggression," Rutte said.
"We have to make sure that the world is able to focus both on Ukraine and of course is involved very much of what is happening now in the Middle East,” he added.
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.
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?
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.
Should send them to Israel instead.
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.
