After F16s, what else? Will F16s be another 'game
changer' weapon again being delivered to win the war? Nato and the USA
are basically escalating the war into a direct involvement, when those
F16s takes off from any Nato country, which Russia will definitely
respond.
As with the other game changing weapons sent by Nato
and the USA, they were mostly unsuitable to be used in Ukraine, either
in the hands of untrained soldiers recruited on the rough, or the
equally rough terrain that had been created by the Russian air strikes.
Airports and runways are not going to be suitable for the F16s, either
to take off or land.
The Challenger tanks sent by Britain were
reported to be told by the Brits to stay hidden away in bunkers, for
fear of being targeted by the Russians. Now, why sent tanks to be
closeted inside bunkers for fear of being destroyed? To be used as
museum pieces after the war is over?
The Leopard tanks sent by
Germany and other Nato countries were said to be cutting-edge pieces
modified for Ukraine, but were reported that they could not be supplied
with the right calibre ammumition that fits their modifictions.
Different countries made modifications using different calibre
ammunitions and this caused a problem on the front with regard to
ammunitions supplied. They turned out to be just sitting ducks.
And
talking about training, how long is it going to take to train a F16
pilot with adequate skill to fly the plane in combat? A week? A month?
No, it is going to take longer than that. The suspicion is that it will
not be Ukrainians flying those planes if delivered. Nato pilots will be
doing that and the training part is just pure propaganda to fool the
Russians. Only problem is the Russians are not that easy to fool.
All
said, the USA and Nato are now scrapping the bottom of their weapons
stockpile, still flogging a dead horse. All that talk about Ukraine
retaking 'pockets' of Russian controlled areas are nothing more than
mere propaganda, to rally the Ukrainian troops with something to brag
about, and stir their imagination that the war is turning in their
favour. Even the Western media are relatively quiet about the Ukraine
counteroffensive, with the realisation that the war is unwinnable.
