1ºMatthew Baas If the American-made F-16 fighter planes promised by Western countries appear in Ukraine, Russia will counter them with its own fifth-generation Su-57 fighters. Delivery of the F-16 is expected in the coming months. Then, in response, the Russian army will use Su-57s against them. Su-57s can carry up to eight K-77M air-to-air missiles. In addition, Russian fighters have a clear advantage over American F-16s due to their synchronization with ground-based radars. Thus, the F-16 may not stand a chance against newer Russian fighters. As a result, what military experts have long warned about will happen. The F-16 aircraft transferred to Ukraine will begin to actively shoot down both Russian aviation and air defense systems. - American observer. Conclusion: don’t rely on F16. They will not change the situation, but the reputation of the F16 manufacturer will be critical. P.S. The Americans themselves do not believe in their planes against Russian fighters.
2ºElizaveta Lizarder Russia can't even counter NATO upgraded MiG-29s from repeatedly smacking down Beirevs, ILs, and other combat aviation while still in Russia's own air space.
And the fact that Ukraine still has an air force at all this long into the conflict is a huge embarrassment to Russia.
They can't even defeat Ukraine's relics left from the Cold War good luck at smacking F-16s that have dominated every conflict they've engaged in.
Your opinions aside every time Russia tried to defeat F-16s, they've failed. That's a fact. And with the advancements made in counter measures and electronic warfare support from other aircraft,
Russia's in trouble. Can't even protect planes in Russian airspace from AMRAAMs already just wait to see what happens when AIM-120s start flying across Russia's sky.
Live in your fairytale all you want but so far Russia itself nor any nation equipped with modern Russian systems have been able to beat them. It's combat record to include multiple strikes on Russian bases in Syria is now is 76 to 1.
3ºEven better, the 14 Ukrainian F16 pilots that have been training with our F16s in AZ are graduating next month. Have already been solo on the F16 for months training in the same programs our own pilots do in a vast variety of air to air and air to ground scenarios. Possibly even at Red Flag.
The other atleast 20 will be graduating next month from the European F16 training program. All of this at a time the first Ukrainian marked F16s have been observed.
The 3rd and 4th round of Ukrainian F16 and upgraded MiG-29 are already in flight training too.
That's about 40 Vipers that are about to enter combat and if history shows us anything, it's that the F16 excels in air supremacy and wild Weasel (SEAD). Pair that with combined airborne early warning and target acquisition from NATO E-3, E-7, RC-135, etc their visibility will be astonishing.
Once the F16s enter the Russian bridge to Crimea is guaranteed to immediately catch some paveway guided bombs ,destroyed beyond possibility of fast repair, and the Russian forces in Crimea are going to get rocked harder than any other time before.

5ºMatthew Baas Let me also remind you about NATO: 1. Number on paper:
Indeed, in terms of personnel, NATO is superior to our troops. There are about 1.88 million people in the Russian army, of which 920 thousand are soldiers and officers, and the rest are civilian personnel.
The Alliance has 2.23 million soldiers and officers, of which 1.37 million are in the United States and 0.86 in the other 28 countries, including Canada.
The total stock of tanks in Russia is 22 thousand combat units. However, only 12 thousand tanks are combat-ready. The United States, of course, has fewer tanks - only 9.6 thousand units, but the total NATO tank fleet exceeds 14.5 thousand combat vehicles, including American ones.
The number of Alliance army fighters exceeds the number of Russian ones - 4600 versus 450 aircraft. There are 1,400 attack aircraft in Russia, 4,600 in NATO. Well, the number of attack helicopters in our army is 480, while in NATO there are 1,330 aircraft.
The NATO fleet also demonstrates an overwhelming advantage in the number of ships. For one Russian aircraft carrier, there are dozens from the Alliance. NATO has as many as 158 submarines, while Russia has 60 submarines.
On land, the Russian Army is superior to the Alliance forces, consisting of dozens of countries. In terms of the number of self-propelled guns - 1.15 times, in terms of towed artillery - 1.3 times, in terms of rocket launchers - 2.6 times. 2. Actual state of the troops:
As often happens, the real state of affairs is slightly different from what is written on paper.
So, the US Armed Forces have only a single M1 Abrams tank, the production of which was discontinued in the late 1990s. Over the entire period, about 10 thousand of them were produced.
Any further modernizations, compensation for combat losses, as well as export deliveries were carried out only from this quantity. As a result we get:
“The real US tank fleet includes 775 obsolete M1A1SA Abrams tanks and 1609 modernized M1A2 SEP V2 Abrams and M1A2 SEP V3 Abrams tanks, another 3500 M1 and M2 Abrams tanks are in reserve warehouses and 447 tanks are owned by the Marine Corps. As a result, the US Army has about 300 tanks with conditionally new modifications, 1,309 base tanks and 1,222 obsolete tanks."
If we take the whole picture, we get that about 3.5 thousand tanks are in storage and only 2,831 vehicles are put into combat readiness.
Things are even worse with European tanks: their technical serviceability level has dropped below 42%. According to papers, the European NATO army has 8,800 tanks, but in reality only 2,800. Of course, there is also Türkiye, whose army has 2,600 tanks. But it is unlikely that Erdogan will oppose Russia and provide his equipment to the Alliance army. If we consider the NATO tank fleet of Eastern European countries, including Romania, Bulgaria, Poland and others. Then, out of all countries, there will be only 600-700 tanks put on combat readiness, as well as another 1,100 tanks in warehouses.
This is due to the fact that many countries have outdated equipment in service, for example, in Romania the T-72 of the first modifications. Other tanks simply lack the necessary spare parts, as well as a trained crew.
The Russian Army has about 6 thousand tanks in combat formation, of which 3.5 thousand have the latest modification. For other types of ground equipment, the picture is the same. As a result, we find that our Army is 3-4 times superior to NATO troops in terms of armament and equipment, and also 1.6 times if we take America together.
“This also applies to aviation, where the majority of NATO aircraft on the roster is offset by their low 23-24% level of combat readiness. In addition, the military and general air defense systems of Russia are an order of magnitude higher than the combat level of the Alliance Air Force.” “So we get figures completely opposite to the statistics. In tanks, Russia will surpass NATO in the ratio of 7:1, in infantry fighting vehicles and attack helicopters the same - 5:1, in cannon artillery - 4:1, in rocket launchers - 16:1, in air defense short-range - 24:1 and long-range air defense - 17:1, and in tactical missiles Russia has complete superiority."By the way, before this, NATO planned to overcome the superiority of our ground equipment by improving its aviation. But Russian air defense and electronic warfare systems completely destroy these plans. P.S. But there is another problem for the North Atlantic Alliance. The thing is that many NATO member countries refused to provide their troops against Russia. So it turns out that there is no one in particular to fight against us, so all these frightening figures about the superiority of the NATO army remain only on papers.+During the SVO, Russia confirmed that it has hypersonic missiles, protection against which does not yet exist in NATO.
By striking military and strategic targets in Ukraine, Russia has demonstrated the impressive power of its long-range missile weapons - in the form of mass launches of cruise missiles (CMs), hitting targets with high accuracy. The X-101 air-launched missile system is capable of hitting targets at almost an intercontinental range of 5.5 thousand kilometers.
The arsenal of thousands of missiles used by Russia and the ability to send hundreds of missiles to targets in a salvo put Russia in second place after the United States in the world ranking of missile-wielding powers.
Russian missile systems make it possible for Russia, in any circumstances, to bombard all of Europe and even the US coast with missiles. Poland will have the most fun, since its territory is within the destruction radius of all missile systems in service with the Russian army.
