No, the F-16 will Russia's worst nightmare
Russia's saving grace is that Ukraine Air force has very limited capabilities
The F-16 changes that
First the Black Fleet Sea has operated with impunity because Ukraine has no effective way to get them
The F-16 with Harpoon missiles changes that. With the loss of Moskava, the remaining Russian ships have no long range weapons to prevent Ukraine from taking shots at them
with Harpoons
More the point, the F-16 makes strike against the Black Sea Fleet and bases a reality
Ukraine can't fully use JDAMs and AGM-88 with their existing planes, the F-16 again would Ukraine to use both to maximum potential
Specifically, the AGM-88 with the F-16 can home on jam against Russian electronic warfare assets.
The F-16 has the MTD-STD data bus which allows to be integrated with EU, Israeli and France weapons in additional to the US
While it took months for western weapons to added to Ukrainian jets
The F-16 can be integrated with Storm Shadow and KEPD-350 a fraction of the time. Depending on the weapon, a few days at most
Lastly unlike Ukraine's current aircraft, the F-16 has modern RWR, MAWS , EW as well as radar which means they can detect when Su-35s are trying to lock them up in BVR
and actually counter

How about wrong on all counts
F-14, F-15 and F-16 were built with the notion that they had to fight their way in and out of theater
The advent of air launched cruise missiles and precision munitions changed that notion
Simply put, why fight the enemy in the air when its faster and more efficient to kill them on ground
The F-35s uses its stealth neutralizes the enemy defenses while cruise missile strike the enemy's air field
all the missiles have to do is crater the runway and taxiways and enemy's air power is stuck till combat engineers can fill in the holes and put matting over it
By that time that happens, the second wave of F-35 is already over head and starting pounding the airfield with GBU-12s and 16s
As for the enemy's airborne assets ,they are not going to engage as the base is toast
its engage and run out fuel or withdraw possibility make to another base
The fact fun about this is that it easy to plan
Reconnaissance watches the enemy's movements and provides info you can strike when their airborne assets are the lowest on fuel and able either RTB or a hit tanker
As for Russia and China's claim about anti-stealth
100 percent hot air
To test out anti-stealth measures
The US has B-2, F-117s, F-22s and F-35s plus RQ drones
whats does China or Russia have
China has the J-20s which stealth is hilarious inferior as well as few drone
Russia has Su-57 again with the hilarious inferior stealth and a few drones
The US has dissimilar aircraft using various designs which neither Russia nor China has
Lastly
we are in hypersonic weapons now and SAM sites are screwed
The S-400 claims 250 mile missile range
A Mach 5 weapon would be on its door step in 5 mins while Mach 10 in as little as 2 mins
Now good ole Uncle TLAM needs 40 mins to cover that distance
can EA-18G keep an S-400 suppress for 40 mins, not on its best day
Worst, an Su-35 only needs 7 mins to get with range with R-37s
With hypersonic weapons , the EA-18Gs only needs to keep the S-400 suppressed for 2 to 5 mins which it can easily do and still have ample to time to withdraw denying the Su-35
As the US is getting into the air launched ultra long range air to air missile business., enemy AWACS are targets at much longer ranges

@PerceivedREALITY999
Russia borders Ukraine yet after year and half, they have gotten no where
The US traveled 7000 miles to Iraq and Afghan and had both those countries on their knees in a matter of weeks
Let that sink it
Russia's tactical blunder was failing to secure western Ukraine
By not securing western ukraine, Russia did not cut ukraine off from the West and thus why Russia is currently getting its ass headed to it
lets recap how they screwed up
Since Ukraine still has open line
they have gotten Javelins which have been shredding Russian armor. HIMARS which have sticking with deadly precision, Pzh-2000, CAESAR and other high mobility western 155mm systems. Last but not least Patriot systems
if Russia was not an incompetent jackass, and had cut off Ukraine from the West, this conflict would have been over by April of last year
instead, they have let Ukraine gain a path to victory
Russian's weapon against the US was GPS jammers. Thanks to Ukraine, the US now knows exactly how they work
Russia's Ka-52 and MI-28 have been attacking and once again thanks to Ukraine, the US now knows that its Stryker SHORAD will be ineffective so they have gone back to plans for using the AIM-9X and AIM-120C-5 for SHORAD. The AIM-120C-5 range allow massively out range anything that the KA-52 or MI-28 could carry and unlike MANPAD, the AIM-120s warhead would shatter a KA-52 and Mi-28 like glass
Lastly, the Patriot , NASAMS and IRIS-T are all designed to be network centric which means they transmit data in real time
Once again, Russia's constant missile attacks has only been feeding the West with vital info about Russia missiles and aircraft

@PuppyPinky
How about no
Russia's weapons against the US was GPS jammers and now thanks to Ukraine, they know exactly how it works and what it does
More to the point, there is ample time for the US to send variety options for Ukraine to test out for them
NASAMS, IRIS-T SLM and Patriot are network centric when means they transmit data in real time
Like the GPS jammers, the US and EU are also giving Ukraine different missiles for those systems to see how do in real world
The West has been getting real time data about Russian missile attacks, aircraft as well as capabilities of Russian EW
The KA-52 and Mi-28 attacks have shown that Stinger and Starstreak will be ineffective against Russian gunships which can attack as from as far 8 miles
Thus the US is dusting the SLAMRAAM (Surface Launched AMRAAM) and Complementary Low-Altitude Weapon System (CLAWS) which uses AIM-9Xs and AIM-120
What does Panstir S1, T-90,Krasukha and Khibiny have in common, all captured and in Western hands
Lastly ,you are forgetting the key thing about stockpiles
By giving Ukraine, stockpiles , the West gets rid of millions of tons of weapons that they would have had to spend a fortunate on demilitarization
Now they get to buy newer and more modern weapons. Thanks to Russia, those weapons have the lessons learned from Ukraine

@monumentaltravel3745
The F-16 more than enough to do job
The notion that F-16 is not ideal is Russian propaganda
The Black Sea Fleet has enjoyed impunity because the Ukrainian air force has no way to attack
The F-16 with Harpoons can attack Russian shipping. Even with baseline Harpoons, the range is 120 miles and the defenses on the frigate max out at 31 miles
F-16 would be able lob Harpoon after Harpoon at Russia ships
In order to protect the Black Sea Fleet, the Russian air force would have to operate from bases in Crimea
While Ukraine few Su-24 to use Storm Shadow, the F-16 can be easily integrated with it which would strike against Crimea that much easier
GPS jammers affect JDAMs but PAVEWAYS and MAVERICKs are unaffected by jamming
More the point, they can be laser guided allow Ukraine forces for precision strikes against moving targets
The older LANTRIN can be supplied to Ukraine as the newer SNIPER XR and LITENING are what the US military used
Ukrainian MiG-29 and Su-27 can only use AGM-88 at fraction of its capability while the F-16 can fully use it all modes
Lastly, while MIG-29 and Su-27 limited to old and outdated R-27, R-73 and R-77s as well have very limited supply
F-16 can use AIM-9P/R and AIM-7, AIM-120C-5 and those are in massive supply
Also fun fact, the F-16 can CBU-87s
The F-16 is very much the ideal for Ukraine
Russia's problem is that F-16 can also carry ADM-160s aerial decoys
One simple tactics is to launch ADMs while 2 F-16 approach at low level against A-50s ,Il-22 and Il-78s
Everyone is Russia would send MiG-31 and Su-35 after
kinda hard to do if Ukraine goes after the A-50 in air or land and knocks them out
Sure Ukraine could lose an F-16 or 2 in process but the lost of tankers, AWACS and other C4ISTAR aircraft would be massively worth it both tactically and strategically
As far the S-400 and other air defense, if the Ukrainian air force is taking load of ground forces , they would be free to go after S-400 sites

if WW3 started ,Russia would lose miserably
First Russia weapons against the West was its Electronic warfare capability
Specifically, jamming GPS and communication
Both have been exposed in Ukraine and some systems have been even being captured and sent back to the West
The West now knows exactly how Russian GPS jamming works and has has Lockheed, Raytheon and GD working on counter-measures
Secondly the KA-52 and Mi-28 attacks has shown that US military using the Stryker SHORAD with Stinger missiles will be ineffective as both are attacking Ukrainian forces from with outside the range of the Stingers. So now the US military is looking to acquire the NASAMS High Mobility Launcher (HML) which is based on the Complementary Low-Altitude Weapon System (CLAWS) and SLAMRAAM (Surface Launched AMRAAM) concepts which uses AIM-9X and AIM-120C-5s for SHORAD
The updated HML with AIM-9X and AIM-120C-5 can reach out to 30 plus miles which is beyond the range of any weapon use by KA-52 or Mi-28
Lastly, how many R-37, R-27, R-73 and R-77s have been recovered from downed aircraft and sent back to West
Radars, EW and other tech from downed Russian aircraft
18 months in Ukraine has cost Russia more than you know
The Patriot, NASAMS and IRIS-T are network centric
they transmit data in real time so every Russian attack with drones, missiles and aircraft
All that data has been going back to the West in real time
The more Russia stays, the more and more it has to dive into its capabilities and the more the West learns

How about no
Poland, Estonia, and Romania countries who like the US who will aide by the treaty in principle but have no signed it so getting the munitions to Ukraine wont be problem
Biden said it plain and simple quiting "they’re running out of that ammunition
Again wrong
Ukraine does not have an capable air force or naval assets
No Frigates, Cruisers or Destroyers or even subs able to launch cruise missiles from hundreds of miles away.
The few aircraft they do have are old and obsolete plans with very very little capabilities and even fewer in number
There ground forces , specifically HIMARS, M270s and 155mm systems are literally doing all Ukraine's heavy lifting in combat
Since they are really Ukraine's only weapon, the reasoning for giving DPICM is very simple
DPICM allows them to do more per shot. Instead of having to target one by one , the DPICMs allow Ukrainian forces to hit multiple targets at once and greatly reduces the number rounds they need to fire mission
You have a cluster of targets , the first shot is doing to alert everyone and they will be gone by 3rd shot
You fire DPICM and one you are hitting everyone at once and two even if some escape, they wont be unscathed
instead of burning rounds and missiles, when they have multiple targets in the same area ,they can service all them far more efficiently than going one by one

Here's a new flash kiddo
Ukraine has been putting money in UK, US and EU pockets so why would they stop
Here is simple point for you
When military equipment expires , it has to go through a costly process called demilitarization
So with missiles, they have to be carefully dismantled, the warheads removed and disposed by controlled detonation. The rocket disposed by via controlled burns, The electronics removed and finally the case is melted or simply destroyed.
The process can cost millions up words very high numbers
By giving Ukraine weapons that are old or scheduled for demilitarization,, thats billions saved when you combined all the various weapons being sent that no long need costly demilitarization
Instead, you can spend it on newer better weapons. More the point, newer weapons do more damage so you dont need as many so you are not spending as much
In the end, UK, US and EU are reaping savings after savings
Lastly, the military industrial complex thanks to Putin's fear mongering towards other countries that he wont stop at Ukraine is yet another reason
so you see kiddo, its all on Russia

@arcontez9327
So whole paragraph of nonsense
The F-35 has been flying since 2006 and you posted the 11 accidents it has in 16 years operation
lets compare that
The Indian air force has lost 11 Su-30MKI since 2000
oh look
On Jun 27 2018 , Sukhoi 30 MKI being tested crashes in Nashik, pilots ejected safely
4 years ago, the exact same thing happened to India's top jet
aircraft lost during test
Oh look the Rafale has also had a number of incidents
Yet again
In Sept 24, 2009
A Rafale being test again, lost
Amazing how idiots trying to knock the F-35 incidents with zero clue that the F-35s problems not unique to it
The 11 incidents you hilariously mentioned have happened to every modern air force
An issue that risks damage to the F-35's tail section if the aircraft needs to maintain supersonic speeds is not worth fixing and will instead be addressed by changing the operating parameters, the F-35 Joint Program Office told Defense News in a statement Friday.
Nice cherry picking
Lets add the complete story
Supersonic flight is not a big feature of the F-35,” Clark said. “It’s capable of it, but when you talk to F-35 pilots, they’ll say they’d fly supersonic in such limited times and cases that — while having the ability is nice because you never know when you are going to need to run away from something very fast — it’s just not a main feature for their tactics.”
In fact, going supersonic obviates the main advantages of the F-35, Clark said. “It sort of defeats all the main advantages of the F-35,” he explained. “It takes you out of stealthiness, it burns gas like crazy so you lose the range benefits of a single engine and larger fuel tank. When you go into afterburner, you are heating up the outside of your aircraft.”
As I said, a real scam and a whole pile of (barely) flying garbage.
As I said, you have zero clue

On January 4th 2022, the South Korea Air force was forced to ground its entire fleet of F-35 after a landing on the belly of one of its F-35 whose landing gear failed.
Grounding aircraft after accidents again, common and again not unique the F-35
the Pentagon admitted that the F-35 had 871 flaws that could potentially affect its performance, 8 if them classified as "critical". Along 2021 only two of these flaws were corrected, none of them from the most severe group
Again with the cherry picking
lets add the complete story
"Given that the report is not as of yet available, it is not clear what the specific elements of the deficiencies are, or what kinds of impact they may have upon F-35 mission readiness or performance. It is also at this point difficult to have a sense of how critical these may be, as some are likely to fall within the category of routine software and hardware upgrades or maintenance."
Again posting misinformation.
News flash, the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) reports carry no weight with the Pentagon or US military
The DOTE refused to approve the USAF and USMC plans yet both the USAF and USMC carried out their plans regardless
When USMC declared its F-35B IOC in 2015, DOTE objected yet nothing happened other than the USMC moving forward with their plans
POGO, GAO and others , all they can be do is criticize, object or report but make no mistake, they carry no weight
Again with the cherry picking how SK tracks their metrics is unknown
In late 2020, acting U.S. Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller had referred to the F-35 as “a piece of…
Your desperation is hilarious
First Miller was only Sec-Def for 72 days , LMAO, your source of information is someone who barely held the job for 2 and half months
Secondly ,Miller was the special forces operator , not an aviator. So again your source of information was someone who knows literally nothing about aviation
Lastly his rank was colonel
Now, if the someone with actual credentials such Jim Mattis or the current Sec Def Llyod Austin made that statement ,it would actually carry weight as both Austin and Mattis were both generals, both held commanded United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) and both held Joint commands at highest levels of the US military
Thats called credible sources
U.S Marine Corps reported In an "alarming host of problems" with "lack of progress in almost every essential area" to bring it closer to a combat ready state.
You just love posting misinformation
First , the USMC made no such statement
The actual statement reads
"U.S. Marine Corps Captain Dan Grazier highlighted “a host of alarming problems” and “the F-35’s lack of progress in nearly every essential area” to bring it closer to a combat ready state"
This article by Dan Grazier originally appeared in The Project on Government Oversight on March 19, 2019.
Just posting misinformation is all you are doing

@arcontez9327
if my evaluation coincide with that from an ex US Secretary of Defense
Yeah, thats called desperation
As stated before, that Sec Def only held the job for 72 and was not involved in military aviation so his word literally carries no weight
following several dismal reports by the Government Accountability Office on the fighter’s performance, a nearly two-hour hearing on Capitol Hill highlighted its engine issues as a particularly problematic feature.
Again, as I told you, the GAO reports carry no weight
POGO, GAO and others , all they can be do is criticize, object or report but make no mistake, they carry no weight
U.S. Marine Corps Captain Dan Grazier highlighted “
Dan Grazier is reporter and former USMC officer , again not credible
No you are posting misinformation as you not posting complete information, just the bits that happen you fit your narrative
Thats part you are not getting, nothing you have posted carries any weight
all sources you posted carry no weight

@blackwidowsm
You guys and your fairy tale world are hilarious
First , fun facts
Ukraine doesn't have an air force while NATO has hundreds of assets. In conflict between the NATO and Russia, ground troops are literally moot
F-15E, Typhoons, and F-18s can strike targets between 300 to 600 miles away without ever get in range of of S-400 or Su-35s/MiG-31
While Ukraine has no navy, the NATO has hundreds of assets.
In war with NATO, Russian forces would be introduced to the hurt locker as unlike Ukraine, NATO has plenty of weapons to inflict serious damage
As for grinding Ukraine down, hilarious as well stupid
Russia has long touted its equipment as the superior and Ukraine has shattered that notion completely
The KA-52, Su-30 and Su-34 represent the latest in Russian aircraft and all have double digit losses
As mentioned before, T-90s have been captured or destroyed thus far
Your desperate attempt to explain Russia incompetence is hilarious

@bigjohnmacarthy9493
The irony is that Ukraine with limited western weapons is going year 3 and counting
No ,its not complicated ,
You are forgetting that Ukrainian forces were nearly depleted
Step 1 was the initial strike on Dzhankoi against Russian air power
Step 2 is resupply forces and stabilize the situation on the front line
Once thats done, they will starting planning to strike for maximum effectiveness both tactically and strategically
in their shoes
The Kerch Bridge for obvious reasons, fuel and munition depots , command and control, and more strikes against air fields
The number of ATACMS delivered is estimated at 100-200 missiles at most so they are kinda limited to a degree
Lastly
Ukraine has operated mainly Russia weapons
so going cold turkey on Russian weapons to Western has been a challenge
Ukraine wont have true offensive power till they have at least 12 F-16s operational
Unlike Ukraines' Russian aircraft , The F-16 is what is exactly needed
For air to ground, the F-16 can use 500lbs, 1000lbs and 2000lbs laser guided bombs which immune to EW
While MIG-29s can only use the AGM-88 in limited modes, the F-16 can fully use it , specially the F-16 can hunt and destroy EW sites allowing GPS munitions to be usable again
The F-16 can also use the Harpoon ASM for anti ship attacks against Russians' frigates
Russian fanboys are quick to say the F-16 is no match for the Su-35 or S-400
New flash, The F-16 doesnt need to be
Ukraine has been striking S-300 and S-400 sites but mostly importantly after 2 were blow out of the sky, A-50s are no longer operational
So the Russian air force ability to engage F-16s is already knocked out
a smart Ukrainian play would play here kitty and have F-16s act as bait and draw Russian aircraft into missile traps
Ukraine needs the F-16 air to ground capability more than its air to air

@JohnAkaSB
LMAO
lay off the potato juice their ivan
Lets recap how many ways the F-16 will tear up Russian forces and its vastly superior the Su-25
First, the F-16 block 40 was introduced in 1988
The Block 40/42 is the improved all-day/all-weather strike variant equipped with LANTIRN pod which is Ukraine will get
The Block 40 can use everything Ukraines
HARM, JDAM, PAVEWAY , MAVERICK , HARPOON, AIM-7, AIM-9, and AIM-120. It can use CBUs as well be intergrated with Storm Shadows
Can the Su-25 carry anti-ship missiles,No
Cruise missiles no again, radar guided air to air missiles again no
The Su-25 is a joke compared to the F-16
Secondly
The F-16 can carry 2 Harpoons and launch them from up 120 miles away against naval targets
without the Moskav promoted to submarine, Russia has no way to stop the F-16 from going after their ships
Bases are in Crimea are going be the first targets for the F-16
While GPS jammers affect JDAMs, they have no effect on PAVEWAYS or MAVERICKS
Air defense can be neutralized with ease
You are forgetting that Pzh-2000 , Archer and CAESARs can easily drop steel Russian air defense equipment

@petterlion2659
You honestly believe, that US put its best weapons in Ukraine, thats just stupid
The HIMARS is not the US best weapon ,its kicks ass
If the West stopped aiding by the measured response rule and give Ukraine everything asked for, this would be over quickly
Yes moron, you read the art of war and it made you incredible stupid
The long war
Right
Russia has lost over 100 manned aircraft, as most of those are two seaters , thats 200 experienced personnel gone
Panstir S1, T-90M, Khibiny , Krasukha and very very long list Russian tech has ended up in Western hands
At leas 6 high experienced generals dead
The cruiser Moskva sunk and you idiots are actual stupid to enough to quote Art of War for Putins actions
SMH
thats not art of war
that literally incompetence

@SentientOak
Lay off the potato juice
Russia isnt facing anything
Ukrainian air force has very little capabilities
No electronic warfare, No tankers for aerial refueling ,No AWACS, No Anti-ship capabilities,Nada
What they have is very few aircraft able to use JDAMs, AGM-88s and Storm Shadows
So what challenge is RuAF from the Ukrainian air for
no much
Now give Ukrainian a fully equipped air force and you will see Russian forces running for their lives
The Ukrainian army has no gunship able to carry out precision strikes
their few Mi-8/24 can't do much
Give Ukraine, Apaches, Cobra or Tigre and once again Russian forces will be running for their lives
Ukraine defense has no integrated air defence system (IADS)
They have 2 PAC, 1 SAMPT, 9 NASAMS and 4 IRIS which is not even close to what they need
Now for IADS, they need 100 PACs and 50 SAMPT for long range, 100 NASAMS and IRIS for medium range and 100 RIM-7 launcher for SHORADs
You honestly think the few pieces of what they are facing is NATO
now thats comedy
The USAF alone with 12 F-15E would cripple Russian forces on land and sea in 3 days
