Looks like Chuchkas from the East.

The Danish airframes delivered so far were built in Belgium in 1980, but have all undergone MLU with structural upgrades and total avionics overhaul and modernization to the F-16AM standard. They are radically different combat systems compared to the early A models.

@PaulM745 Russia has done their version of MLU on the later-built Flankers, so Su-27s are brought up to Su-27SM2 & SM3, and Su-30SM2 for better interoperability with Su-35S and Su-34M. Even with all that, they were sqwaking in open plain text FM even during combat operations over Ukraine. Russian AF is a sad and pathetic joke.

Did you know the Grad BM-21 Zil truck is a Russian copy of the 1936 US Studebaker? The US sent thousands of these forgotten types of trucks to Russia during WWII under Lend-Lease. That's why the truck looks like a 1930s design.

@kisssys5414 Gotcha. F-22A and F-35s would have ended the war on Day 1. Even a single squadron of F-35s would have done that had Ukraine had them. 5th Gen is an unfair advantage with Omnirole capabilities, not just A2A and Strike.

 @LizardGulps China is part of Taiwan, since Taiwan is the true government of China in exile from the demonic murderous communists.

F-16 fleet Air-to-Air kill ratio is 88-1. Most of those are in Israeli Air Force service against Syria and they didn't have AIM-120C7 back then. The first AIM-120A kill in conflict was a USAF F-16D vs Iraqi MiG-25PD interceptor. Iraqis had more combat experience than the Soviets did die to 8 years of war with Iran, so they were actually very good fighter/interceptor pilots. They're the only air force in the world to have shot down a US fighter in Air-to-Air combat, and that was with a MiG-25PD on the opening night of ODS in 1991. Shot down an F/A-18C that was doing SEAD with HARM anti-SAM Radar missiles.

BM-21 Grad is built on a Zil truck, which is a Russian copy of the 1936 US Studebakers that were sent under Lend-Lease during WWII. Pathetic

The Senior Russian missile forces Generals have assured Putin that everything is working perfectly! They also assured him that victory in Ukraine would be sure and swift, hence the naming of the SMO for its lightning-quick plan that would make Hitler’s blitzkrieg look weak in comparison. They started from strategic encirclement of Ukraine, so there was no way they couldn’t win! 843 days later.....you see why Putin can’t afford to find out if his nukes actually work. If he fires one and it it fails, Russia’s clout on the global sphere of influence will be even more of a laughing stock. If it works, he will be nuked personally, as will the Kremlin, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Murmansk, Ekaterinburg, Novorossiysk, Rostov-on-Don, etc. This is why Putin’s hands are tied. His Bishops, Knights, Rooks, and Queen are merely pons.

 @thanhnguyen-xi8fq These are Danish F-16AM full MLU birds with totally new avionics similar to Block 50.

Patriot has also been a game-changer. Most US advanced aerospace weapons have programmable guidance systems since the 1980s, so there is no "figuring out how to defeat them" because the PSPs are done at the operational level with constantly-changing codes.

 @tjtube65 What soldiers did Ukraine use to denazify Kursk?

@1234crevis Russian aircraft don't last long. They mostly were built under the wartime production concept of mass-production, low airframe and engine life. Even the MiG-29s and Su-27s built in the 1980s are all mostly retired from service. MiG-21s, MiG-23s, and MiG-25s have been out of VVS/VKS service for decades. MiG-21 and MiG-23s were replaced by MiG-29s. How many Russian fighter regiments are flying MiG-29s anymore? MiG-25s were replaced by the MiG-31, then MiG-31s were upgraded to MiG-31BM. Su-30 began production after Su-27, and then Su-35 went into production. Su-30s are already undergoing Su-30SM2 upgrades to be data-linked and share logistics with Su-35S. 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s Soviet fighters are all rotting away, crashed, or sold via FMS to poor countries. They were never built to last. The MiG-21 was probably the most robust and easy to maintain of them all, and those are long-gone.

@Yuri-z2y Russia hasn't been able to establish air superiority though, even against outdated Ukrainian MiG-29s and Su-27s built in the 1980s. Russia has far more fighters built from the 1990s-present, namely: Su-27SM3 Su-30SM2 Su-34M Su-35S They should have been able to establish air superiority, but didn't for several reasons. Lack of SEAD, ancient voice comms, lack of coordinated training, poor leadership, and systemic lack of professionalism in VVS/VKS contributed to these failures. When the US invades aa country with a large air force, it establishes air dominance immediately like in Desert Storm or Allied Force. No other nation has that capability.

@Yuri-z2y Weird. Whose Su-24Ms and MiG-29s are they using to fire Storm Shadows, SCALPS, and HARMs from then?
1
@Yuri-z2y Ukrainian Su-24M Brigade has more flyable Su-24s than before the war started. They've been restoring airframes into flyable status. The separation profiles for Storm Shadow and SCALP make the Su-24M survivable, vs old school Soviet-era close attack profiles.
1
@Yuri-z2y Ukraine has put more Su-24Ms into flyable status since 2022, so they have more flyable Su-24Ms than before. Missile shipments from Europe are the limiting factor.

@ffjsb Tanks are easier to refurbish than fighters, because fighters are subject to stress fractures and corrosion to the airframe, degradation of flight control systems (hydraulics and lines), deterioration of all seals, failure of electrical systems/ wiring harnesses and subcomponents, and weathering of other critical systems for flight. This is one reason why you don't see many active Russian MiG-29 squadrons. Fighters built in the 1960s simply haven't been flying for decades in most cases.

You'll more likely see a tribunal, mongo-slav. Defending sex-trafficker and mass-murderer Putin, who steals children from Ukraine to feed to the global elite demons.

Proof there are no Sergeant Majors or First Sergeants or Sergeant First Classes or Staff Sergeants in the Russian army, at least not anywhere near the front.

AASM-250 cost per kit is 12x that of a US JDAM. Economy of scale is a thing. AASM kits are $300k each.

When the very early F-16A models were introduced to the Fleet, they beat all the other dedicated strike fighters in Gunsmoke bombing competitions regularly. When the Israelis used them against Syrian AF in 1982, they were brutally-effective in Air-to-Air, with no losses. This was before the F-16 had BVR capability. First A2A kill for USAF was with an AIM-120 vs MiG-31PD over Southern Iraq during the NFZs.
