In my opinion what Ukraine should do is deploy a ton of decoys of these things. Russia is going to do everything they can to destroy these jets. Nice to see them finally in the sky’s though
No markings and no missiles. Strange. Can’t wait, though!
Congrats!
Can confirm, those are Ukrainian clouds.
At that resolution and lack of landmarks it could just be a screenie from DCS.
I mean this obviously is proof of nothing, but that’s fine, I don’t want to know.. I’d rather see the aftermath of their presence and not have anyone know if they are out there or not.
I worry that overblown expectations of the F-16 will lead to disappointment and discouragement even when the F-16s perform well. Their arrival is only one more step toward Ukrainian victory – a big step, but only a step.
Fingers crossed – best of luck to those pilots…and ground crews…and mission planners…
Anyone expecting F-16’s to miraculously turn the Ukr AF into the USAF with all it’s capabilities to curb stomp opponents is smoking crack
What they have done is introduce a capable but mediocre airframe into a disadvantaged fight against an airforce that has been learning to pick off ukr jets from long range for 2 years. Other than maybe a good ECM pod and better situational awareness, it isn’t much better off than Ukr’s current jets.
Here’s to hoping Ukr can out smart the hate boner Rus currently has for blowing one of these to pieces.
This after the Bloomberg report…
Ukraine only has 6 pilots fully trained for the f-16. Don’t expect an impact anytime soon.
Lots of comrades will be putting their pinched Crimean houses up for sale in the near future.
give those orcs a bloody nose with those F16s. slava ukraini
Might have had its first use against all those shaheed drones that got shot down
Single bag. Slick. No weapons.
That’s not Ukraine, it’s Holland. I’ve been there.
pixelating cloud formations is next level opsec
bout fkn time!!!!!!
Give em hell boys and girls.
I’m still amazed F16s can fly. Tiny wings with tons of shit hanging off the bottom
Need to geolocate these clouds.
I’m only sad that Juice was unable to fulfill his dream of flying one.
Here’s to the rest of Ukraine’s fierce pilots honoring his name.
That’s about time. NATO is a shame. This could have saved lives. Yet they took almost 3 years to make it happen.
Ukrainian deaths are in your conscience, alongside with Putin’s.

Odessa tabloid-style news site, with pro-russian smell
unreliable news source tbh
Maybe they’ll store them in neighboring NATO countries and move them into Ukraine by *CLASSIFIED* to prep them for sorties.
Why are the clouds pixelated? OPSEC?
lets goooooooooooo!
Next – make a selfie over Kremlin
This says nothing and i like that.
