Potential supplies of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine will not change the situation on the battlefield, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on March 27, vowing that the Russian military will destroy them the same way it destroyed Western tanks and other vehicles of Kiev forces.
“If they supply F-16 jets, they say that pilots are being trained, it will not change the situation on the battlefield. And we will destroy warplanes as we are destroying tanks, armored vehicles and other weapons, including multiple launch missile systems,” he said at a meeting with military pilots in the Tver Region.
In addition, Putin noted that Russia will take into account the fact that F-16 fighter jets can deliver tactical nuclear weapons.
“F-16 jets can carry nuclear weapons. And we must take this into account while planning [combat operations],” he said.
The Russian president also warned that airfields in third countries will become legitimate targets if Ukrainian F-16s operated from them.
“Naturally, if they are used from airfields of third countries, they will be a legitimate target for us, no matter where they might be,” Putin said when asked if Russia will hit Ukrainian F-16 jets at NATO airfields.
Last year, several NATO backes of the Kiev regime, led by Denmark and the Netherlands, formed a coalition to train pilots, technicians and support personnel from the Ukrainian Air Force (UAF) on F-16 fighter jets after receiving a green light from the United States.
Denmark and the Netherlands subsequently announced their intention to supply Ukraine with 19 and 42 used F-16s. Later, Norway also announced its intention to donate F-16s to Ukraine, however, no numbers have been revealed yet. Belgium also said that it will supply an undisclosed number of F-16 fighters to Ukraine.
According to the Danish Defense Minister, Ukraine is set to receive the first F-16s in the summer of 2024 if the preparations proceed accordingly. A previous statement by the Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anušauskas and an unnamed official, said that Ukraine could receive the first airplanes around June. This statement, although not officially confirmed, was not dismissed by the UAF.
The Kiev regime has been already warned by its allies to not overestimate what the F-16 could do. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg openly said that these fighter jets can’t change the situation on the battlefield, although they will enhance Ukraine’s combat capabilities.
While Ukraine is pinning high hopes on the fighter jets, the truth is that NATO is only supplying them to make up for the heavy losses of the UAF and further prolong the conflict.
The used older versions of the F-16 Ukraine is set to receive are inferior in every aspect to Russia’s most modern fighter jets, like the Su-30, Su-35 and the stealthy Su-57.

i would sure hope so, mister putin. im hoping you also wipe out the airfield they take off from, even if they are not in ukraine
well lets hope the do not put those planes near jewish owned stuff in ukraine. or else it well be added to the “cannot be targeted under any circumstances” list putins government hands out to every of their soldiers and allies.
ukies cannot maintain old f16—the f-16 unlike russian planes requires a pristine well maintained tarmac—nearly none remaining ukraine
what is the logic behind providing these f16’s to ukraine all the countries involved in the conflict are depleting their arsenals and once they trigger ww3 there will be nothing left. the only one who will profit from this will be the united states that is going to sell new equipment.
u.s.s.a is pillaging europe. europeans are too thick to understand it yet. in 15 years when they are sucked dry and de-industrialized, it will be too late. baltics, nords, pollacks, saxons, the whole lot…they deserve it. they are too stupid and infatuated with left wing america. they lie in bed with dogs, they will not only get fleas, but rabies and then death.
if europe becomes third world, then the bright side might be the moslems and africans packing their bags and leaving or at least finding other destination.
but i doubt it.
u.s.s.a. is fast becoming a true plague on humanity.
those are old f 16 their maintenence is relativly cheep. the european nations wil of course have to replace them with f35. ;-) which will have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that us congressmen have stocks of those who produce them.
putin back and forth statements and approach and action make nato more encourge to stoke russia.putin should refrain from saying russia has no plans to attack nato.nato has plans to destroy russia wether putin like it or not.lookat the level on how their examining capture russia weapons.slow action of putin give more time and room for usa,france,turkey and britain to study russian weapons.
a moron pig farmer that cannot distinguish lacan from winnecott to rd laing
first wunderwaffen was the javelins. then it was the nlaws. then came the m777. then came the himars. then it was atacms. then the storm shadows. next is f16s. no matter what overpriced, overrated western junk otan throws, it will burn really well. arms buyers beware, western stuff is second rate
also leos, bradleys, challenger and abrams all got destroyed
you are hurting mr. g. stapos ego for not mentioning the germanartilery panzerhaubitze 2000 and the anti air gun gepard. how dare you hurt his feelings. ;-) and just wait for the taurus it will obliterate the russian bridge like the ship in the us obliterated theirs. ;-)
wundefaffen are like wonder bread. it’s a wonder they call it bread and a wonder they call them waffen.
erdogan shot down russia jet putin did nothing.israel shot down russian plane putin did nothing.france and britain down rusian miscians plane on the way to syria putindid nothing.nato down russian civilian plane from egypt to russia putin did nothing.ukraine destroy warships and tu jets of russia putin have no plann to take over ukrain.also have no plan to attack nato.
terrorists kill 140 russian civilians, putin does nothing and wants to show “humanism” to the murderes. yet he goes to war to protect himself.

i hope you understand that the other side of the conflict wants russia to do something that requires ww3 they have it all planned out. they want to wipe out most of humanity and start over from their luxurious underground cites. ordinary people like you and me will perish for nothing.
“amerika is a culture of stupidity”. arthur schlesinger jr
“there is no cure for stupidity”. dietrich bonhofer
lmao – where do you come up with these names? such a fertile mind.
i live here and you are correct. most americans hardly read, and if they do they read novels and other shit books.
it gets tiring having to deal with the morons.
i am aware–i completed graduate school in united states—the absence of curiosity is quite stunning
half of them still don’t know there’s an ongoing war in ukraine. they think the russians were defeated a year and a half ago. lol
americans are brainwashed by two types of propaganda. high brow propaganda like the nyt, wapo and low brow propaganda like the nypost. they’re all born of the same seed though, thanks to clinton allowing the media to be consolidated into the hands of a half-dozen zionists.

stupid amerikunt—20% of former ukraine now russia—where 80% of economic activity occurred 2014…you amerikunt are inferior monkey species
russian troops killed 60 turkish troops in syria—erdogon crawl to moscow—-you amerikunts are primitive inferior moron species
realise that if the russians wanted to do something 1990 was the time. they had advanced airplanes ready hat a working arms industry and a economy more on par with the west then it will ever be again. they did not do it cause they do not want to do it. the russian elite rather dismanteled their sowjet union and stole the assets to get rich on the backs of the normal people. if they did not do somethign in 1990 they will never cause their odds were never better.
do what, conquer europe? only western brainfarts fall for that dried up old red herring.
it’s impossible to believe what morons people are, sleepwalking day by day into ww3. how do they tie their shoes and walk out the door without pulling a biden? apparently, these people are already gone from the poison food and mind altering garbage on set’s television. how do they tie their shoes without velcro? do they need permission from the television talking heads to use the bathroom as well as their brains?
impossible to believe, yet here we are. if one thing taught us from the internet, there is no limit to the abject stupidity of the public. sometimes, i imagine walking through that mirror from the twilight zone into another dimension and just observe from there at a safe distance.
there go again. another transplantation.
our donated weapons are only allowed to oparate inside ukraine and nearbye with rections.
its true f16s can wear nukes.but true we anytime can nuke russia 3-5 times already, so why use f16s, strollers or parambulataors-thats just internal russia leaders bending their sheep sp they mothing.
pages up down about the visible terror in moscow.
and has here på these sites most people bad copies of potemkin related to ukraine only to cover the dirty election between one person.
narrominded and blinded russias with not a single indication knew 4-15 attackers was zelinsky and clones as longbearded sinners against saint.
and fsb even this time were ready for the makron car from odessa.
finally we dont have lack of 16s. but ukriane as lack of polits and maintain. its true the 16s are only slighty better the too old mig 29
why do they allow this senile idiot access to a computer?
you brownie has less sustance then jellyfish.
jeez, you got me. you’d think he’d have melted away into a steaming pile of shit by now, like the wicked witch of the west. where’s dorothy? we need dorothy.

all mans can operate inside me and nearbye with erections. 25 øre.
oh, that’s why czech vampires are routinely fired into civilian areas of belgorod.
find yourself a local welding shop, jenny numbnuts – so they can try to zap some intelligence into that empty lobotomized thing on your shoulders.
and what is ‘nearbye with reactions’? what the hell does that mean, you short-circuited dummarker? is that when ukrainians react by singing hip, hip hurrah, depending on how many civilians they knocked off with nato weapons?
if you had any brains at all, even a nanobrain, you’d understand that’s what ukraine was doing to donbass civilians for 8 years with its own and nato weapons before the smo started. but you don’t and never will understand. so, eat shit.
putin has shown himself to be the two faced liberal piece of shit he is.
he will go to war in another country and kill tens of thousands to protect himself, but he doesn’t give a shit avbout those killed in his own country.
moron amerikunt hillbilly tiresome—amerikunts inferior species
an zelinsykis a longbeard fra tjatikistan too.
russians say they tracked the money to ukraine. why don’t you picket brussels to demand they publish the forensic evidence, dipsy doodle? will the west demand to see proof or just say they’re making it up? if they don’t demand to see the proof, then you know who’s lying.
right, jenny jackoff?
thats related to no facts.
we dont demand to see proof. we only say most of it as total infected in internal lie for internal use.
my reflextion is mnost of fsb and internal structures are gone at the ukriane frontzone. it fx well known guards like here should be in two layers – minimum 2 well armed police before or just behind the 4 killed at the gate.
the rest of the world know fore sure interrnal or external extremist is like that kind of crime. next in that m a y b e e c o u l d be fx be prigorsin lovers.
ukraine is not like that. their sabotage is oil and militry targets only ewvemn they has hit a few cilivians here and there.

i’m beginning to think you’re just a bug-ridden ai experiment from the 1980’s that someone unleashed on the internet for fun.
diseased inferior hillbilly amerikan –a primitive devoid of culture–ugly and stupid—species…no limp to your senior center and beg for subsidized lunch from nice social worker
again: less sustence then jellyfish in their best.
dumb moron retired janitor holm tiresome but amusing like a monkey….”amerikan civilization is garbage”. kurt vonnegut
the smo was launched to protect putin from ukrainians? so the russian claims about perceiving the failed ukrainian cia project as a genuine threat were valid? thanks for clearing that up.
this explains putins 87% approval in russia—you amerikunts are stupid inferior species—amerikunts are traitors sissy despised even in eu nations; russians will obliterate you–we do not forsake our brothers —“we have no allies only interests–it ay be dangerous to be our enemy it is fatal to be our friend”. h kissinger
as inferior amerikans are too stupid to exit their ugly cesspool we should not expect any awareness from these diseased cretins
next years be might rename moskva to timbukto and and your african friends will settle there.
us=🤡 😆😆😆
f-16 up to f-35 – they will double down and as soon as this demons shook enough boots out of european stooges, they get us the fucking show on the road. further, if the chinese see them obliged to appear on that party too, it’s better to relocate towards a less eventful place.
not really. before the f-35 is fully operational the rest of the world has moved on to 6th gen fighter jets.
either way, your name is exactly what we’re gonna be.
f35, the greatest money laundering project
sure. they will have armatas all over too.
which countries make those new ones?
who permits this diseased senile nazi jens holm access to a computer? new play therapy modality for senile drug addicts in dumbmark?
im a part the free world. its not my choise you are not even europe.
digital standards make us grow getter finding better soultions as well. its very visible in wealth and living age.
all here are born with comtures and mobil phones besides many old the ones. it would be abnormal if i had none from 1997 to now and can use most of it well.
in dumbmark freedom –pay 65% income tax —lgbt rape and stupidity—where 35% require treatment for mental illness—russian pays 13% except rich corporations more; 2% require mental health tx where medicine and treatment is no cost
even i a senile retired amerikan nazi janitor know f16 incompetent very expensive to maintain and prone to frequent defects failures..worse ukraine does not have any airfields that qualify. unlike older superior mig that can use even modest dirt gravel tarmac—f16 requires an asphalt level runway devoid of cracks or gravel…typical amerikunt miscalculation
thats right.
jets are a whole system even well connwected to other systems. its not just like that.
be prepared takes time.
morram voces americanos
fresh out of school fighter pilots; lambs to the slaughter!
i read that after initial training 6 months another 2-3 years is required to achieve a level of competence necessary for combat
partly right but the peacetime version.
teachers know those plans very well.
holm–you are a moron —find a better lgbt astrologer
we dont have your standards.
holm has senile moron standards
an f16 goes for 60 million. 1 kinzhal goes for 10, probably less now since they’re cranking them out in volume.
so for russia it pays to target the f16s.
i dont think its like that. we will see.
holm cannot think—924 ukie jets demolished by russia past 2 years
if the russians destroy these f16s they have effectively disarmed most of natos fighter capabilities in europe. these wef young global leaders who gave them to ukraine have not yet reciece their jsf replacements. they thus dont care for their own airspace defence capabilities. they rather want to waste it all to gave some vodka drunken ukronazi flying them.
there’s probably a healthy mixture of otan pilots in them, like us and european people are manning many missile systems but just lying like normal.
there we go a gain.
if we were there, you would not. we are many times bigger then you.
russians are simply kept away from simply facts. in very much russia is just as skinny bear with a extra legs, you are i lies about in losses in ukraine as well.
why does senile moron holm diarrea at south front? is this cheap therapy by social worker to treat schizophrenia? very bad m medical care in dumbmark
holm moron knows zero—brainwashed coca colonized…jinbber monkey need better taliban therapist
i heard that russia is sending its mothballed s-200’s to deal with the f-16s, since they were destined for scrap anyway and nothing fancier needed.
waste not, want not, old russian saying. old american saying: waste more, want more.
no what.
its no surprice rusia will not use bows and arrows only.those jets also will be protected and not by bows and arrovs.its systems.
sure usa gdpis more then bigger. have a choise – most of them.
the stupid village idiot—“gold never wins a war”. machiavelli…moron amerikans and nato idiots—3 trillion$$ and humiliated by taliban goat herders
you understood his infantile gibberish?
thats not correct. we still has the best and other jets.
we do have fx many missiles too. nato also has grown in members and seize and russia has leveded. .
that goes for below with bycyles and fishgear as supply.
russian jets far superior to any others—you senile moron
amerikan the most incompetent russian #1 china #2 france #3 amerikan #4; jens julius ebola holm is a moron
silly jens, ‘we’ has nothing. you gave it all away, numbnuts – and it sucks, was all blown up within a month.
now, what did the rest of your gibberish mean after that?
the amerikan clowns display a stupidity not found in civilized nations…”in amerika stupidity is a virtue”. charles pierce
i ask my astrologer should i send f16? gypsy tell me—if you want russians to show world how inferior we are you should. i ask will my senility improve f16 performance…she reply that it assures that we will defeat taliban
didn’t he also say they’d bring out all their old s-200 systems from storage to deal with them, so as not to waste modern air defense?
nobody cares what putler has to say – actually the entire world can’t stop laughing at him 🇷🇺=🤡 😆😆😆
even my toothless hillbilly roommate know this
amerika is defeated humiliated—their impotent nato poodles need taliban therapy
