I'm still curious as to how the Ukrainians are able to get a drone (or several) to travel the distance from Ukraine proper all the way to Moscow completely undetected in spite of a heightened Russian air defence network.
How about its transported by ground it until close to the target then launch…I'm still curious as to how the Ukrainians are able to get a drone (or several) to travel the distance from Ukraine proper all the way to Moscow completely undetected in spite of a heightened Russian air defence network.

Damaged beyond repair is still damaged in russian neolanguage I guess

While I don't agree with the "…within a month…" beating US top-guns statement, I think the amount of training required to be "operational" on an F-16, has been grossly overstated and exaggerated. How much time is required, I don't know. I'm not a pilot. But within a month dad went from his first solo flights in 4-engine Halifaxes to his first solo operation with his crew on Lancasters.Remember very early this year the Americans admitted that the Ukrainians mastered the tanks that the US Army said needed a year to master in under two months.
The same will apply to the F-16 because the Ukrainian have a really good incentive to master every new weapon "yesterday" unlike the US servicemen who have no incentives to hurry because their families are safe and sound.
I would bet on a good Ukrainian pilot with a month on the front lines in an F-16 beating the USAFs top gun F-16 pilot two out of every three times, if not more.
