Firstly, finding the right people to become pilots is an extremely difficult task, even in peacetime. Various sources report that only 0.3% of USAF applicants get to become fighter pilots. Such people need to be in top physical and mental shape, with the best academic performance and high motivation. They also need to be ready to endure a great deal of physical and mental stress, as well as to take risks that few other jobs require. All this means that the safety of fighter pilots is not to be taken lightly. However, the Kiev regime is doing all the opposite and it keeps sending them to certain death against an opponent whose technological advantage is measured in decades. Namely, on April 12, (region). Reports vary significantly, ranging from claims that it was downed in air-to-air combat (reportedly by the long- range R-37M missile that can be carried by both MiG-31BM interceptors and Su-35S air superiority fighter jets) to a SAM (surface-to-air missile) system (either an advanced iteration of the S-300 or S-400). Russian military sources report that it was the latter. This is the second F-16 loss admitted by the Neo-Nazi junta, although battlefield evidence suggests that at least half a dozen have been lost so far. The extremely overhyped US-made jet was touted as yet another “game changer” that was supposed to “turn the tide against evil Russians”. However, retired fighter pilots (including Americans themselves), military experts, analysts and even global leaders have been warning that the F-16 would be hopelessly outmatched by superior Russian fighter jets and advanced air defenses. This refers to both new and heavily modernized legacy aircraft. Namely, according to Ukrainian pilots themselves, F-16s are no match for even older Soviet-era fighter jets such as the Su-27. It should be noted that the “Flankers” operated by the Kiev regime forces were inherited from the USSR and have undergone very limited upgrades, unlike the Su-27s used by the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS), which operates the SM2/SM3 variant. This is without even going into newer “Flanker” iterations and other types. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
