Deployment of F16 will be difficult

You need nice runways and Russia will hit every single runway available

Flying them from Romania makes them useless as the combat range is significantly shortened, and using fuel tanks can give better ranges, but payload would be too low to be useful

Flying them for CAS would require basing close to Ukrainian front line, where Buk and Pantsir are going to be the main threats, even S300VM in Crimea and in Minsk or S400 which can see into Ukraine

Plus if you base them so close, iskander will visit it

All in all, it will be a threat, but not a game changer

Flying ED209's?

You have 25 seconds to comply.

Germany sent Taurus missiles to Ukraine.

Not sure about that but France has sent their version of Storm Shadow.

Regarding what the Russian forces should do... I would say keep the pressure on and if they see an opportunity to advance

There is an argument that big arrow offensives with the intention of creating big encirclements will actually save lives rather than continue like this indefinitely. I sort of see the logic in that and they probably will do that eventually. Defending head to head like this isn't casualty free. Russia should go big arrow before waiting for Ukraine to train and arm a 4th army.

Maybe this winter after the ground freezes

Bullshit. You cant just add up F-16s from countries around the world and call it one air force and say therefore it is overwhelming compared to Russia's.

Russia has 800 4th gen heavy fighters of various types in service. Does Europe have any F-15 heavy fighters ? According to wikipeida, it doesn't. There is one US air force fighter wing in Europe with F-15's

Kinda yes. also think of all the tanks and APCs you can capture. If they don't drive as directed everyone in the tank or APC dies.

There are various rankings and stuff online. Even Wikipedia doesn't have that bad of a inventory list. It is a mix because the su 34 is a heavy fighter but an attack aircraft.

https://www.globalfirepower.com/country-military-strength-detail.php?country_id=russia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_Russian_military_aircraft

I am just saying , Russia has a lot of heavy aircraft. The advantage the west has isn't overwhelming. Especially considering Russia counteracts the western fleet with air defense. Russia has 2000 s-300 launchers. And 456 s-400 transporter/erector/launchers. In would not be a walk-over for the west

Russkie have a few hundred planes that outguns everything that NATO has.
Plus formidable air defense that can take out any recon plane at its maximal operational distance.
Is there any key for this di#ck measure contest?

F-16 will be a pain in the ass when using cruise missiles, gliding bombs or HARM which will be more effective than launched blindly from mig-29s.

But that won't be a game chabger.

A good thibg would be if they manage to pay a pilot to bring one in russia like israeli did with a syrian pilot of mig-21.

Outguns everything we have is a copium.

Do they have planes that are superior to F16? sure they do but not that many.

Also you keep hyping Russian AD but the fact is Ukraine has managed to bypass it, Russian AD is not godly and can be defeated would be hard sure but to sit there and act as if its GG just because of that is so misguided

Russian special military operation in Ukraine #47 - Page 18 Img_1010

It’s official: Russian forces receive new combat uniforms and will begin their move to Multicam camouflage.

G99 (Triada) worked with RU MOD last year in order to develop a new series of combat uniforms, dubbed VKPO 3.0, which have already been put into active service.

So it looks like casualties are now higher in the 18 months of the SMO in Ukraine than either the UK or US suffered in WW2 Shocked

Russian special military operation in Ukraine #47 - Page 18 F34KxJwXEAEb96G?format=jpg&name=small

7. United Kingdom: Around 450,000 casualties, including soldiers and civilians.

8. USA: About 400,000 casualties, mainly soldiers engaged in combat.

The US and UK estimates are false because they include injuries. The KIA is closer to 400,000 and the injuries are about
twice that. The reason that the ratio is not three or higher is because the dominant fraction of the Ukr losses are from
artillery and not small arms fire.

Title says that deaths and injuries combined number is 500.000. Not only deaths

In most modern wars artillery is the key source of injuries. In WWII 75% of German casualties were from artillery, .

Chernigov hosted a forum for various Ukrainian terror drone developers and manufacturers today, dubbed "Angry Birds", in the Shevchenko theater.

It was Iskandered (or Kinzhaled). Angry carrot.

Meanwhile, someone tired with things set fire to a munitions storage compound in Kiev. Big blasts.

The WIA to KIA ratios being flung include three and higher based on Vietnam and other such conflicts.

I put up my post not because the Ukrainian casualty figures were accurate, we know that they are not. I put it up because by the West's own figures, a significant milepost has been passed.

Yet no-one, even those wanting peace, is drawing attention to this very inconvenient fact.
