MiG-31 ambushes two F-16 jets while attempting to take off

Reports from Russian media, including Vzglyad, claim that at least two Ukrainian F-16 fighter jets were ambushed while attempting to take off from Starokostiantyniv airport in western Ukraine. Allegedly, this attack was executed by a Russian Mikoyan MiG-31 supersonic interceptor. These reports, dated September 26 of this year, concern the recent Russian assault on the airport in western Ukraine.

However, the Russian Ministry of Defense’s daily report for September 26 does not mention such an incident. Most Russian media reference the Voenno Delo [Military Business] Telegram channel, which is a Russian source. This account offers no additional details on the strike. It stated, “At the Starokostiantyniv airport, two F-16 fighters donated by the Netherlands were hit with a delay while trying to take off. There were also Su-24s at the airbase. The strike was carried out by an air ambush of four MiG-31Ks of the Russian Air Force with a hypersonic complex Kinzhal [Dagger].”

Regardless of how many have been destroyed, the F-16s are making no significant difference in the war.

The Abrams story all over again.

Euros can do what they want. The good news is the Nether regions will now be purchasing newer aircraft from us to replace the old crap they donated

So, the Ruskies can fly in from the Motherland to attack the Uke’s bases…but the Ukes are not allowed to shoot back at their base.

That makes no sense.

Yes, that makes perfect sense when the Russians have been being killed by American weapons, paid for, maintained and aimed by Americans. The Russians have simply had enough.

The Russians will respond to further killing of Russian civilians by NATO by bringing NATO’s war to NATO (including the United States homeland).

So, the NATO aggressors can fly in from NATO bases to attack Moscow…but Russians are not allowed to shoot back at London, DC and Berlin.

That makes no sense.

Since it absolutely makes no sense, the Russians have changed the game. London, DC and Berlin are in the same jeopardy as Moscow.

Btw Abrams doing just fine how is “best tank in the world (T-90m)“ fairing? 100 or so destroyed, lost one to two Bradlys firing 25mm.

Aircraft pulled back, Black Sea fleet pulled back, missiles blowing up in silos

Master strategist

You speak in nonsense. No one is flying in from London or New York….

The only way this is going to stop is for Moscow to feel the same pain as Kiev,

Yep, I think NATO has seen the light. All over Europe and here in the U.S., the lies are finally being exposed. As the truth about this Globohomo CF is further exposed, the NATO warmongers will finally have to withdraw. After spending ten years totally destroying Ukraine, DC will walk away.

Hah! Why torture oneself listening to the professional lying talking heads in DC? You provide the same Biden admin BS but it’s more entertaining watching you regurgitate what you’ve been slopped up with over at the MSM feeding trough.

Watch out! Don’t choke!

The real story is Russian Mig 31s killed 4 Ukrainian F-16 pilots .

F-16 qualified Ukrainian F-16 pilots are a lot harder to come by and more expensive than the F-16s the Ukrainians are flying.

Oh no! All of these weapon systems were manufactured in Ukraine. What wasn’t was paid for by the Ukes, huh?

Don’t play stupid with me. ALL of the corruption that overthrew the legit Uke government ten years ago and maintained a succession of DC quislings comes DIRECTLY from DC and Brussels. ALL, every penny, to fund this ten year inprovoked NATO war of aggression comes from DC and Brussels. You know that, I know that, the Russians know that.

Your playing stupid doesn’t change facts, it just makes you look stupid,
