    And half of them probably don’t work anymore. There have been numerous reports from the Ukrainian side that the Western equipments they received don’t work half the time.

    It’s almost like they’re being sent there not to help Ukraine win the war, but to be rid of using Ukrainian lives.

      Thats the thing. Ukraine’s aircraft capabilities couldn’t match Russia’s and there was hamstring on bringing more f16 due to several factors. You get the clickbait such as ukraine developing their own cruise missiles (that has too many parts involved for me to believe out the gate) and such but things are looking rough. It was hamstrung to use long range missiles supplied by the US to targets inside Russia because of feara of Russian retaliation. They were in a tough position as it was but you can’t even engage the enemy like that
