Reply bolded.I wonder if these older, surplus F-16s have been upgraded to receive a datalink from an AWACS in such a way that the F-16 pilot doesn't have to turn on his radar and advertise his position. I would be surprised if they didn't have a Link 16 quality datalink. I haven't seen a system that could not go to "receive only". From what I read here this capability has been around for almost twenty years, so I assume Ukraine is good to go. For any Ukrainian pilots raised on the older MiG-29s this must seem like Christmas morning.
And I can only assume that NATO-operated AWACS flying over NATO territory or international waters in the Black Sea will be sending data to Ukraine's AWACS. With only two AWACS aircraft, Ukraine will need all the help it can get in this regard.

It shows how twisted we are that we have a specific word for such an unusual form of execution. Kinda like how Eskimos have 29 words for snow depending on its type.
If Putin showed up at D-Day wouldn't France be obliged to arrest him for the ICC?

Nicer still if those F-16s would arrive.It would be nice if the Ukrainian F-16s could be fitted with the Meteor
It was in early April 2022 when it was first announced that Ukraine would receive F-16s. I would be pleased if we see them before August 2024.Nicer still if those F-16s would arrive.
The bright side is the Ukrainian pilots will have received adequate training. I'm guessing the same for the ground crews.
They wouldn't answer my question earlier, so I suspect that rainbow boy (I am assuming here, they may be using pronouns like she/they/it/whatever) is only capable of tossing out rainbows because it:Hey blueskies ol' buddy! How ya' been?
Do da lite has ta be turned on?An easier way to get empowerment is to stick your tongue into a light socket.
Some people who have the need for empowerment seem to go for weird hairdo's
so this method would do both at the same time.
I saw a news bit last night on the exchange and there is a huge difference between the physical condition of the Russian POWs and the Ukrainian POWs.They look like they are starved. Cadaverous.
