Just you wait. The brave Ukrainian freedom flyers will take those F-16's and do things never before thought possible. They'll fly them to the edges of space, tweak the engines to achieve Mach 3, knock out multiple targets with every missile, dodge hypersonic weapons, scoop children from burning buildings, discover an unknown 'stealth' mode, and accomplish so much with every plane that the U.S. will promise them hundreds more out of sheer admiration and gratitude. Soon congress will even issue a special medal to honor particularly brave Ukrainian martyrs, and they'll create a special debt balloon so that hundreds of billions of dollars in military largesse won't be added to the official nation debt tally.
Thank you. After your article about the Patriot vs KH-47 missile, and the research that I did, I laugh every time I hear more U.S./Ukrainian propaganda. First it was a blank check, small arms, anti-tank, stingers, night vision, satellite and drone surveillance, and a deluge of western propaganda. Then it was 155 Howitzers, unlimited weapons replenishment, massive additional sanctions, blowing up the Nordstrom pipelines, and getting more nations to send advanced weaponry. Then it was Abrams tanks, HIMARS systems, German tanks, and more advanced weaponry. More massive propaganda, more sanctions, all kinds of secret shit we know nothing about, and visits from high ranking U.S. officials. Billions more dollars even as our own economy falters, and then it was the vaunted Patriot missiles, which suddenly in inexperienced hands could knock out hypersonic weapons, which even the U.S. couldn't manage. And now it's F-16's, a massive training program, hundreds of billions of dollars, and a frenzied blood letting on all sides. The Russian national game is chess, while in the U.S. it's football and gambling with borrowed money. If I were Putin, I'd play on the delusional climate fears in the west and just start releasing huge amounts of methane to the atmosphere. And then work a deal, no nukes required.
This reminds me of the Vietnam War. I read an interesting article in some pilot magazine years ago. It was about an F-8 pilot who was at some large meeting of Vietnam War vets -- from all sides.
Anyway he was walking around meeting people when he came upon this Russian guy. He started talking with him, and after a while they figured out who each other was! The F-8 pilot had shot down the Russian pilot during the war. He remembered the numbers from the MiG, and the Russian guy remembered the numbers from the F-8.
There where American pilots who were dog fighting Russian pilots. Of course at the time, the USSR denied that they were sending *their* fighter pilots, and maintained that they were only training the Vienamese pilots.
Now America is in the position that the Soviet Union was in. The illegitimate Biden regime is going to lie about the involvement of US fighter pilots, but all the while, those fighting the war know better.
Obama did the same thing in Syria, when he said no boots on the ground. But, they sent in A-10 aircraft. Those aircraft are some of the least advanced avionics-wise, and absolutely require people on the ground to paint targets. There were boots on the ground in Syria. Another lie by another illegitimate regime.
Personally I don't think that this will escalate things. I think that it's already as escalated as it can get. I doubt that Russia will do anything unwise, unless Ukraine is able to significantly move-in on existing Russian territory.
We know that the US goal is regime change in Russia. But a proxy war in Ukraine is perhaps *not* the way to bring that about. If Ukraine/US does makes inroads into existing Russian territory, it might get nasty. And that will also help Putin's popularity. Then it's time to worry.
We know the pilots are not Ukrainian. This is a dangerous escalation by any measure. I we don't get rid of this administration one way or another, America is doomed.

This is great... :) You are welcome here anytime, Paul
