The noncredibledefense memes will be amazing
F16 > SU-35 officially!
For years us war machine enthusiasts doing all the napkin math based on stats but now we have a track record
Slava Ukraini!
AWACS + F-16A > Su-35
To be fair
They should designate them the FU-16.
Is that early detection plane like the 3 or 4 A50s ukraine has destroyed that Russia only has a small handful of left?
Edit: near the end of the article it says it's like the Russians ones. Hope they can protect it, it's going to be super valuable!
if these two recently damaged A50s were operational, then they're down to 4 from 6 before (per Budanov, as announced after two A50s were shot down by first Patriot, then S200)
Yes, they are both AWACS.
