Ukraine gets its first F-16 fighter jets to help in fight against Russia
Ukraine has received the first F-16 fighter jets, that it has sought for months, to fight back against an onslaught of Russian missile strikes, a U.S. official confirmed to the Associated Press. Ukraine has been pushing its Western allies for F-16s for Ukraine for months, saying they were critically needed to fight back against the onslaught of missiles Russia has fired against it. The F-16 is specialized in suppressing enemy air defenses. (AP video shot by Vasilisa Stepanenko) Read more here: http://apne.ws/znoOvO5

Netanyahu comes to Congress and gets approval of killing Hamas leader in Iran and Hezbullah leader in Lehman and Okays Ukraine to get F16 don’t let anybody tell you who rules over USA & Europe now you know.
Can i get an F16 too?
Soon these planes will be displayed in Moscow😂
It won`t Help, Money is all Ukraine wants.
We will see, probably another overated weapon
Costly flying targets.
Ukraine hates Trump. Down with Russia and Trump.
F Ukraine
Too little too late. They should've been there before Putin invasion since the US government claimed they knew it was coming.
America's current communist regime is trying to start WWIII. Just imagine what we could have done with $180 billion. We could have built a real border!
US tax dollars..dead Ukrainian kids. US Dems and Zelensky should be on trial for war crimes.
Anyone here who doesn't side with Ukraine is an idi0t!
Well come home,,,,
I don't see footage of F16s with the Ukranian coat of arms.
Nothing will help,F16 or anything else,not evan a leather undeware😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The War Machine laphing in Ukrainian
The democrats keep pushing us into WW3. Trump is the only one who will stop it.
…and after these go the way of the Abrams??? What's next? A Star Destroyer??"
Arrest Biden and Mayorkas and Kamala for sending jets and money to Ukraine, for treason now!!!
First F-16 no replacement parts or weapons. That's Biden's trickle down weapon plan, a little now a little later. Got to keep the Democrat war machine running.
Game changers like Abrams. 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if the average Ukrainian gets that they’re being used …
The only winners are the MIC and the U.S. politicians whose pockets are lined by the MIC.
How far does Mr Biden's support for Ukraine go??
FJB and Ukraine
pea brained comments from the peanut gallery obviously never played falcon 4.0. U can fly this thing in DCS world now because it's been around since the late 70's. Nothing is really going to change dramatically because RU tactic is to rely on numerous Anti Air missiles that have a very long range. Ukraine being formerly a part of the ussr also uses the same tactic. All aircraft have to be very careful and stay back from the front on both sides.
Хуй вам бандеровцы а не победу
Ukraine is losing 800+ soldiers per day as a result of Zelenskiy's failed counterattacks. Ukraine is in such a situation that due to the lack of soldiers, it is sending prisoners from prisons to the army. It is now known to everyone that America has lost this war. The winner is Russia, which is advancing every day.
They really want WW3 to start. It ushers in the New World Order where you'll own nothing and be happy.
No es posible que sea el primer F-16 de Ucrania si llevamos seis meses viendo los ataques de F16 en este canal
I love these old planes. Maybe because they came out when I was a little, plane-loving boy.
An absolutely useless, pointless, needless escalation of the conflict!!! It's symbolic ONLY! F-16s alone are nothing more than a thumb in the eye of Russia, and will have no strategic or tactical impact. Without full air superiority of the theater, which also requires AWACS, ECM and the rest of the strike package to function, it's just there to look pretty, behind the lines.
Purchased with all of the money that Biden has sent over to Ukraine, or did Biden just give them one?
Aaaaaannnd its gone.
free Palestine
Mostly peaceful fighter jets, nothing to see here
Stand DOWN. Return those jets to base.
And Ukraine is NOT to join Nato.
There are a lot of L A M E comments here. Half are likely Russian bots
#1) Only a minority have ever claimed the F-16 would be a game changer. The authoritative sources have stated they will help, and there's no question that's true.
#2) Yes, it's inevitable some F-16's will crash. S*** happens in combat.
#3) The F-16s indeed require very clean and relatively smooth runways. This will be one of Ukraine's challenges
#4) Ukrainians will need to defend the airfields where F-16s are kept. It's likely western spy satellites will provide early warning on incoming missiles to bolster their defense.
#5) Initial missions will keep the F-16's generally out of range of anti-air systems. However, the U.S. has provided some 'HARM' missiles, and the F-16s might venture in to deploy HARMs.
#6) Ukrainian pilots are HIGHLY motivated. They will quickly learn.
#7) To those too lame to appreciate Ukraine's efforts to survive, GET REAL. Slava Ukraine.
I didn't vote for this, did any American!?
What do they have like 15 pilot's left 😅😅😅😅😅
planes wont last a month
Is it YouTube who is deleting all the comments or is it the channel owner Associated Press?
Dont get anywhere near those as they have the highest priority for Russia to take out.
