Yep, QF-16sI believe we have so many F-16s that they're being used for target practice. No joke.
Would have been better if we sent some of these to Ukraine. If only for maintenance training and familiarization.Yep, QF-16s
New Zealander killed in Ukraine helped hundreds, parents say
The parents of a New Zealand scientist who was killed in Ukraine say he helped save hundreds of people while volunteering in the dangerous Donbas region.www.abc.net.au
We have politicians' promises to send tanks. That's not synonymous with "we got tanks". I want to see Leopard 2 tanks in Ukraine. Then we have say we got tanks. I am desperately hopeful that the AFU has been training on Leopard 2 tanks in Europe these past months, even if mainly on simulators.Ok, we got tanks - now where are the fighter and ground attack aircraft?
Nice, but does Ukraine have anyone trained for rear seat ops? Their entire air force is single seaters. But sort that out and Kerch bridge, here we come! The Russians won't pick up these low flying birds until the last moment.Ukraine calls on Germany to donate 93-strong Tornado fleet

Too bad the Sepecat Jaguar isn't still around. My favourite cold war single seat strike aircraft, closely followed by the Thud.

AgreedI don't see Germany getting rid of these until they have received a suitable replacement. If they get rid of them it leaves them without a strike capability.
This goes back to what we were talking about the other day. No country will completely deplete its stock and tank their readiness level.
