They're preparing for the F-16?

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I would have thought a condition was to not use them in Russia. Maybe the migs they have, now that they have F16 to replace them on home soil.

[-] Ordo_Bellatores@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

That's why they are capturing territories, so they can use f-16s in "Northern Ukraine"!

I guess they could clear landing sites for quicker refueling? Or just eliminate the opponent.

I hope they break that condition. Russia can't blame us for their actions, we gave them the f-16s for defense it's not our fault they use them for offense.

They don’t need to operate in Russia. This close to the border, stand-off munitions are enough.

Have been for a while. That was the purpose behind going after long-range ground radar and the couple AWACS Russia can still get off the ground.

Hopefully Putin is having more dreams of Gaddafi's last moments, wondering if the same will happen to him

The blue and yellow paint color factories and cranking out gallon upon gallon by the thousands just to keep up with the pace.

It is said that at least one Ukrainian is currently carrying the bullet that will pass thru putins mind soon. It could be a bullet held by a fallen soldier, it could be in your very pocket or in a storage box near by. But soon, it will be so close to putins mind and we'll just have to count the hours or minutes until this stupid war is over.

Why am I suddenly reminded of Revolutionary American General Nathanael Greene.
