  • I love seeing all these writers act as if the F16 is some new wunderwaffen that’s never before been seen by China or Russia, this ultra advanced bleeding edge fighter with the most sophisticated electronics when it’s probably the oldest and least capable US aircraft still in service now that the F15 is being phased out

    They’re close to 50 years old, China and Russia are immensely aware of its capabilities, and they’re significantly less advanced than literally anything Ukraine had before in its airforce

    The only reason NATO is giving Ukraine the F16 isn’t that it’s good, it’s that it’s such an outdated fighter that they can give so many of them away and not care if they’re lost, unlike the hundreds of advanced tanks and artillery pieces they’ve lost
