. . . while Ukraine is waiting for Western aircraft, it is losing its most experienced pilots.
"As long as we continue to wait we will lose more pilots. We had a list of the most advanced pilots who could be trained on F-16s and unfortunately, some of them have already been killed in action," Lohachov said.
According to Lohachov, "to be effective in the air, jets should have modern radars and air-to-air missiles".
"The radars on Russian jets are about four times better than what we have and they can see much further. As well, the Russian missiles are significantly more capable than our Soviet ones. It is getting more dangerous. Sometimes we can’t even see that the Russians have launched missiles, which is very dangerous for pilots," he said.
He explained how Russia has the capability to attack from a distance of 200 km from the contact line, while Ukrainian aircraft have to fly much closer to the Russians in order to attack them.
The pilots’ message is stark: "Getting F-16s would help us survive and keep more people alive".
"If we want to strike Russian jets we have to get much closer to the front line and fly at a low distance, which is very dangerous," Major Voroshylov said.
"The Russians have 40 air bases and over 700 aircrafts and helicopters altogether and they are more modern than our jets. We are working on the question to get Western jets because what we currently have is not enough to be effective on the battlefield," he said.
Background:
In January, US President Joe Biden stated that his country was not planning to send F-16 fighters to Ukraine.
Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, stressed that Ukrainian defenders need Western F-16 fighter jets.

Congratulations to Putin! Without you, it would never happen:
Finland will become the 31st member of NATO on Tuesday, the Western military alliance's secretary general has announced.
The application was prompted by the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, with which Finland shares a long border.

“All the dumb Russians are dead.” So said Ukrainian officials in July 2022 as they sought to explain why the Russian army had abandoned the overambitious strategy and amateurish tactics that defined its conduct in the early weeks of the war. It was probably too early to make this quip. The Russians continued to do many dumb things and indeed still do. But broadly speaking, the Ukrainians’ intuition in the summer now appears correct: when it comes to overall military strategy, Moscow seems to have gotten smarter.

So, you consider missiles launched from submarines, or kand- based missiles, to be EQUALLY THREATENING.

Quote:Equally threatening, but I'm not afraid. It may sound very Star Wars-ish or like something out of the movie Dune, but fear is the mind-killer. I see that most people get a knot in their stomachs and a loosening of their bowels by nearly everything, from sudden noises to imminent death. Such people should not be making decisions for other people about war. They should live quiet lives tending to flowers in the garden or doing routine work. Something, anything, not too stressful for their easily upset bowels and bladders.

I should mention that I saw PT-109 in the movie theaters when it was new. President Kennedy got his super fast patrol boat (PT-109) run over by a Japanese destroyer, which didn't even notice that it split Kennedy's command in half. I came away with a different assessment of Kennedy than Hollywood did. JFK should not be in charge of anything, ever. He was just a rich playboy pretending to be an adult. He was not a cool calm hero. He was a fast talker. I think history proves that I, an 11 year old, was right about JFK. That JFK would fall into the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, Bay of Pigs, a Nuclear Arms Race with Russia, and get his head blown off because he wouldn't listen to the Secret Service advising him to not ride in a convertible in Dallas are all expected misfortunes caused by who JFK was.

You're afraid of everything MSNBC tells you to be afraid of, little bitch.
We've got it all documented right here.

6ix, you are only a pair of hands, a running mouth, and glands. That is an ugly appraisal, but your drinking and smoking prove it. Don't feel bad, 6ix, because all the Trumptards I know in Texas, except for the rich ones who only voted for Trump because he'd let them cheat on taxes and government regulations, are the same as you. Trumptards, except the rich, can't run their little lives worth a goddamn and Trumptards shouldn't get up-welling feelings of superiority that your judgment is any better on more complex problems such as what happens if Putin does conquer Ukraine. Your tiny Trumptard minds won't stretch enough to encompass such a problem.
