F-16s

 


need an 8000 foot runway and Ukraine doesn't have one BTW.

Not one.

Just incase anybody was buying into 

the mindless propaganda 

your state owned media 

likes to disseminate these days.


F-16s for Ukraine: Why Kyiv would still face big hurdles in using the US-made fighter jets


"How do you hide F-16s?

Then there is the question of where Ukrainian F-16s would be based.

F-16s do best on long, pristine runways. They could face difficulties on the rougher, former Soviet ones dispersed across Ukraine,” RAND Corp. analysts John Hoehn and William Courtney wrote in a blog post earlier this month.

To bring in Western aircraft, Ukraine might need to repave and potentially extend a number of runways, a process which Russia would likely detect. If only a few airfields were suitable and in known locations, focused Russian attacks could impede Ukrainian F-16s from flying,” they wrote.


The end of this conflict 

is and has been 

a fore gone conclusion for a while now.


And its not good for US.
