Zelenskyy on X ^

Posted on 04/12/2025 5:03:58 AM PDT by janetjanet998

Today, Captain Pavlo Ivanov was tragically killed during an F-16 combat mission. The guy was only 26. My condolences to his family and to all of Pavlo’s brothers-in-arms.

Military officials provided the necessary reports on this combat situation. We are establishing all the circumstances. Ukrainian F-16s, Mirages, and MiGs, all our combat aviation heroically carry out missions, defending our state and supporting ground operations. The Air Force is also engaged in defending Ukraine from Russian missiles and drones.

You know, an Ukrainian with an F-16 is a little like a mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it, and danged if he knows how to use it.

“The guy...”

How about showing some respect for those who have died in your failed war.

The Ukrainian pilots will be able to fly the F16, but no way in the world can they be proficient in this short of a time period. No way.

I have to wonder how Lindsey Graham’s F-16 Pilot Recruitment Plan is going ?

Someone should pose that question to the Queen from South Carolina .
