American planes require so much maintenance and need near perfect conditions with fos to take off, they’re all designed to work in air supremacy conditions, not battlefield conditions

@msquaretheoriginal American planes have never gone up against a peer competitor in battlefield conditions like you find in Ukraine. They are built for total air supremacy. A 50/50 war where your airfields are being bombed and you don’t have the luxury of perfect runways and 100s of hours of aircraft downtime to do maintenance is a different kettle of fish.

Ukrainian migs are taking off from fields and at best roads because their airstrips are all damaged, can an f16 do that? Ukrainians can’t do fos, can f16s handle debris on their takeoff strips? The training time on an f16 is significantly longer than a grippen. The maintenance on an f16 requires a much larger, more technically trained crew with much more specialised equipment and those crews will require significant training. Ukraine is short of manpower as it is. The retired maintenance and turnaround time of an f16 is a lot longer than the grippen. The grippen has been designed too take off and land in snowy icy fields, the f16 has not. It’s not as simple as just giving them whatever place you have the most spare of that you want to get rid of. Americans think when they have a hammer every problem is a nail.

@gotanon9659 it needs a lot more road and the tarmac had to be in near perfect condition, plus you have to conduct a fos beforehand, all of which are unlikely to be available in Ukraine

@gotanon9659 what’s the turnaround on an f16?

@petersouthernboy6327 they can definitely hit Poland and blame it on Russia with them, if they’re more successful in the future they won’t need any f16s themselves since the USA and NATO will be flying f35s and f22s for them

@SiriusMined America always needs a bad guy huh

@rayjames6096 most Europeans want the war to end now with negotiations since we can’t afford our fuel or energy bills and it won’t be long before we can no longer afford food. In Britain 5 million working families have to go to food banks every week because the cost of living has gone up that much we can’t afford it

@michaelpettersson4919 you might be but I can’t see Sweden giving them to a corrupt state where Nazis have so much influence and are committing war crimes

@jamesocker5235 it won’t
1
@rayjames6096 why not, they’re paying for everything else, including the 40 billion that Ukraine put into FTX that’s now disappeared

@rayjames6096 well we were until the USA intervened and provoked this proxy war in order to weaken Russia and grab European oil and gas markets. The USA is willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian

@ASS_ault Ukrainians are European

@ASS_ault like I said, the USA is willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian

@ASS_ault you’re happy for every Ukrainian to die for that are you?

@ASS_ault nuclear war is no big deal? And here we have the Ukrainian extremist mindset

@ASS_ault actually a lot of American politicians and generals have said it
1
@ASS_ault they did and it’s easy to find the footage but you keep on pumping out your Ukrainian propaganda, it must feel good knowing that most corrupt country in Europe is scamming so much money out of the rest of us

@ASS_ault it was on the news, there’s videos of them saying it on YouTube, it’s not a secret

@Jim Carner shouldn’t we also give them to Haiti since they’re being invaded to?
