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

The Abrams story all over again.

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.

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

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.

Amazing, how so many have the attitude the US MSM must be wrong, so everyone else must be telling the truth. The US press lies, the foreign press lies, and the Russian press lies and is not good at it.

Take a look at map where Starokostyantyniv is inside Ukraine, at least 200 miles from the nearest Russian border.

Russian aircraft are flying flying stand off missions to lob FAB GPS guided glide bombs and long range missiles. They are not flying deep penetration missions in Ukraine to dogfight the Ukrainian air force, the air defense is too heavy. This is why Russia stockpiles newly built cruise missiles and Shahed drones to launch large attacks once or twice a month.

Russia isn't dumb enough to risk irreplaceable Mig-31s on one-way trips to engage F-16s at low level like this. Ukraine wishes they would try it.

This is more of the same cheap Russian propaganda for domestic consumption to feed them the mythos about Russian military supremacy. It is amazing that after two years, how many in the West are still buying into this.
