“It’s not just F-16s: fourth generation aircraft, this is what we want… Apart from nuclear weapons, there is nothing left that we will not get,” Yuriy Sak, an adviser to Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov, said.
Written by Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst
Almost anyone with a basic capability to process information has noticed a pattern in the relationship between the political West and its favorite Neo-Nazi puppet regime – Kiev asks for something, the United States, European Union and NATO “categorically deny” they would ever deliver such weapons in order to “avoid antagonizing Russia” and then a few weeks later (at most) there’s a “sudden change of heart”.
This rather comical back and forth started even before Russia launched its counteroffensive, when NATO provided thousands of ATGMs (anti-tank guided missiles) and MANPADS (man-portable air defense systems) to Kiev. Since then, the scope of so-called “lethal aid” has expanded dramatically.
It would seem the same is true regarding the recently announced delivery of Western-made heavy tanks which were first denied and then approved just days later. Mere hours after the political West confirmed this, the Neo-Nazi junta once again started insisting on fighter jets. In a statement for Reuters, Yuriy Sak, currently serving as an adviser to Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov (now exposed for his involvement in a massive corruption scandal), said that the Kiev regime will keep pushing for the delivery of Western-made jets to replace its dwindling fleet of Soviet-era aircraft.
“The next big hurdle will now be the fighter jets,” Sak said, adding: “Every type of weapon we request, we needed yesterday. We will do everything possible to ensure Ukraine gets fourth-generation fighter jets as soon as possible.”
The “fourth-generation fighter jets” request also includes US-made F-16 fighters that have been at the top of the Neo-Nazi junta’s wish list at least since mid-March last year when Volodymyr Zelensky implored the US Congress to send jets to help “close the sky”. After the request proved to be quite unpopular with the American public, the Kiev regime frontman was instructed to “tone it down” as this boils down to enforcing a no-fly zone over Ukraine. This would essentially mean direct armed confrontation between NATO and Russia, further inevitably leading to a world-ending thermonuclear exchange.
And yet, the mainstream propaganda machine is once again preparing its audiences for the eventual delivery of advanced combat aircraft to the Kiev regime. For instance, The Hill admitted that “Western fighter jets and longer-range artillery units, which would allow Ukraine to strike Russian forces deeper in occupied territory, will likely be the next debate for NATO.” If the aforementioned pattern continues, this will be yet another step toward uncontrollable escalation and the proxy conflict turning into a fully-fledged war. The Neo-Nazi junta is perfectly aware that its so-called “begmanding” approach is working and continues insisting on heavier and more advanced weapons.
“They didn’t want to give us heavy artillery, then they did. They didn’t want to give us HIMARS systems, then they did. They didn’t want to give us tanks, now they’re giving us tanks,” Sak boasted, further stating: “If we get them, the advantages on the battlefield will be just immense. It’s not just F-16s: fourth generation aircraft, this is what we want… …Apart from nuclear weapons, there is nothing left that we will not get.”
Given the pattern of incessant escalation, Yuriy Sak’s concluding remarks are quite alarming and could indicate that the Kiev regime never gave up on its quest to acquire WMDs (weapons of mass destruction). Given the sheer magnitude of the Neo-Nazi junta’s clinical Russophobia, fanned up to a hatred of genocidal proportions at this point, any such statement will surely be taken very seriously in Moscow. Despite these psychotically disturbing comments, the political West continues to expand its support for such extremist puppet regimes. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby stated there are “constant discussions” with Kiev officials on what they need, adding that he “can’t blame the Ukrainians for wanting more and more systems”.
“It’s not the first time they’ve talked about fighter jets, but I don’t have any announcements to make on that front,” Kirby said.
Again, here we see the same back-and-forth pattern of the political West’s supposed “reluctance” with a “no” becoming “we’ll see” or “maybe” only to then be announced as “we have no choice due to Russia’s unprovoked aggression” at some point.
Unfortunately, debate on this disturbing issue is virtually completely absent from the public discourse. The blame for everything happening in Ukraine is simply cast on Moscow and any attempt to question this is immediately shut down. Even the question of whether Western-made tanks can actually help the Kiev regime forces might be “problematic” and the ones asking it run the risk of being labeled as supposedly “pro-Russian”. This nullifies even the slightest chance of a public debate on whether the political West should reassess its belligerence toward a nuclear-armed superpower, one which has shown remarkable restraint thus far. However, as Russian officials said so many times before, Moscow’s patience is not an endless resource.
The EU needs Ukraine for their exponential growth model. The US needs a war. So, there you go. They will never stop.
Indeed they won’t stop. Not unless they feel like their weapons have 0 effect on the battlefield. But we’ve had a stalemate for a almost a full year now so clearly Washington is happy with the current state of affairs.
Stalemate means no side has a chance of achieving victory. Yet, Ukraine has been on the edge for months. They are running out of manpower. They are slowly losing ground and equipment. The Russians are still going strong. Barely tapped their reserves of manpower and weapons/equipment. The fact is that for it to be a Stalemate, both sides cannot have a chance of achieving victory. The fact that Ukraine is again on the backfoot, having its forces ground down into a fine powder, and at risk of losing its most heavily fortified areas in the Donbass indicates the Russia side is having the upper hand. If there are break throughs and a major encirclement of several groups, what is Ukraine willing to do to liberate? Will they risk massive resources to break out, leave for dead, or just fallback and play the heroic warriors card?
Cut the crap Ivan. The Russian front manned by Russian army forces has collapsed three times now. In each case the Ukies regained lots of ground. Then after the Russian conventional forces were exhausted, Prigozin’s boys, augmented with prison labor, broke their pick trying to take Bahkmut. Now Wagner is exhausted. If this is not a stalemate, then a realistic analysis reveals that the Ukies have the long term upper hand. While Prigozin wants to regain leverage with the hawks in the Kremlin, his resources are limited and compromised by Garazamov wanting regular army to dominate the effort, which has proven unrealistic. And Kadyrov is so disgusted with the Kremlin that his guys may soon return home.
Russia has the firepower to drop the deathblight on all these little places we have been reading about but has not done so. After you drop the grid square shiphammer on a given grid square typically there is no way back from that especially with those thermobarics because that burns the air itself kind of like the MOAB’s. No oxygen=no ukraine sportertoops. Just crispy critters. Ordnance for the win because people are soft and squishy and susceptible to concussion shock and being set on fire etc.
The big question remains: why was this strategically disastrous war started and what would clear sighted analysis reveal as a path forward in service of peace and prosperity for the Russian people.
It’s at least two years before the current administration loses power. That’s plenty of time for the NATO strategy to work.
Fuck-o’s back with the word from Rand. If the Russians collapsed three times, how have the Ukretards failed to encircle and eliminate them? Third largest army in Europe with eight years of NATO arming and training them, fighting on what was their own territory, and the Russians are conducting offensive operations with the Ukretards screeching for more NATO welfare. Everybody knows why the war was started skid-mark. The US turned the Ukrainian territory into a security threat to Russia and Russia is eliminating the threat. Be sure to kill yourself today if you get the opportunity.
Really Clyde. How erudite. Let’s get something’s straight:
Russia invaded Ukraine. That has proved terribly costly to Russia and Ukraine. The west with its vast wealth is backing the Ukrainians. Just like in the great patriotic war if a nation is armed by its wealthy allies and its people are courageous enough to die for their motherland they will ultimately succeed. What is needed now is an off ramp. What can restore peace and provide security and prosperity to the Russian people? Certainly not this “war” and definitely not a larger war.
Stop the madness.
The US overthrew the Ukrainian government in order to create a security threat to Russia. This was done to exact as great a cost upon Russia as possible. The threat increased until Russia acted to eliminate it. The off-ramp is the declaration of Ukrainian neutrality. Stop the lying. Fuck-o.
Maybe the european bureaucrats need their faces rubbed in the fact that Russia has a real army and no particular interest in being absorbed into or subjugated under EU rule and authority, EU/NATO expansionism being the apparent aim or goal here. If things go big and get ugly, my money’s on russia given what we’ve learned and heard about the EU’s other problems.
It’s more accurate to describe the US policy in Ukraine to be an ‘Exponential Looting Model’, in my opinion. The goal is the looting of Russia.
The forces of evil, accustomed to always praising each other, are faced with the harsh reality: they are not the first in the world, they are not the best with the best weapons, but they are the worst with the poorest weapons. Best wishes, bandits.
They won’t stop for a long time. Putin should make the Dnieper river the new border between Russia and Ukraine and then negotiate from a position of strength.
They are much, much closer to stopping than people understand. They have been banking on the collapse of the Russian government from the outset, and it hasn’t happened. The US have materially over-extended themselves. The Neocon wet-dream of their “multi-theatre” wars was, like all things Neocon, batshit crazy rubbish. It’s a hard slog for Russia but the Americans are about to pivot to China, to coin a phrase. The Russians just have to keep killing the puppet forces in the meantime.
The only road to peace is for 100% of todays Ukraine to be Russian borders with NATO
Yep. A big ol’ DMZ with kooks safely having their Bandera parades under the eyes of the Poles in Galicia.
Apart from nuklear weapons there are still a lot of other things for Ukraine to wish: what about carrier strike fleets from the US? And what about own satelites? Maybe they should even capture the moon? There are no limits for stupidity as already Einstein mentioned.
They will commit to deliver weapons until the last square inch of Banderistan exist. Will they be able to or is all talk is a non-answered question.
The is a significant sysops element to NATO involvement directed toward Russia and others. .
Ukraine passes every single metric of a FAILED STATE. They proved like the Kurd Turds and Albanian gypsies they can whore themselves out, not run a country properly. Russian military will end the conflict. NATO are a bunch of gender confused, zero value satanists. They will have to be schooled.
Have you realised that your description fits Russia more then well…
After the Russia leave Ukraine, including Crimea.
Why should Russia leave their own territory? Are you on drugs?
The West continues to push Russia further into a corner. I believe we’re at the point where Russia has no choice but to end the ‘statehood’ of so called Ukraine.
What corner? Ukraine is not Russia. Bielrorus is not Russia. If those two countries would like to join the EU why Russia would like to stop it? Jealousy? Or fear that own citizens of Russia will take over corrupted government…
Typical dogshit lying Ukretard fuck. Russia didn’t stop the failed Ukrainian CIA project from joining the EU, fuck-o. Yanukovich was in negotiations to join the EU, but could’t handle the neoliberal austerity package. The Americans overthrew him. Is there a defect in the Ukrainian gene pool that makes all you fucks compulsive liars?
The question is what Russia wants. Anyone able to answer? Without lies? No? Thank you. Until then, every free country in the World will support Ukraine – country invaded by aggressive neighbour
Shitty Radio Free Europe propaganda. Kill yourself.
I told that 6 month ago; there are only 3. viable military options: 1. when ukroshit nazi will have DOUBLE the casualties than now. There is no mercenary force able to compensate that ever. At the current pace that means between min 6 month and max. 18 months. 2. when the banderist fascist faggots field ready tanks will drop under 150 (including the atlantic terrorist help); in this pace that means a min. of 12 months 3. when russians will pass beyond the LPR/DPR borders to Kharkov oblast and start (partial) siege of Kharkov city, after an ultimatum. That is the longest process and may take a min of 18 months. If I’d be russian MoD I would go on the first two of them, but the 3 is the most secure one.
When they’ve fought to the last Ukrainian and it’s time to fight to the last Pole.
The moderators and their Kremlin masters are so insecure that nearly half the comments are “cancelled”. That speaks volumes.
Fuck-o, if we wanted to read recycled Ukretard or US State Department or US think tank flatus, we can go to any Five Eyes English language site. But that’s not enough for you. You’re such a cunt that you have to recycle that shit on SF comment fora because you can’t tolerate anything but the aforementioned propaganda. And then you whine about being cancelled. Because you’re a urinal-puck eater. Fuck-o.
MiG 29 is already superior to F16s, if MiG 29 cant do it, F16 wont be able to take off
