  • oh finally the Ukrainian government
  • officially confirms the arrival of f-16s
  • you may see it on this photo yes Z went
  • to the local military Airfield where at
  • least two of the fighter jets were shown
  • but according to the international media
  • sources Ukraine already has received 10
  • of the airplanes of the type as you may
  • see there is no specific delivery of the
  • airplane as many thought that the
  • airplanes could have been painted in the
  • pixel standard Ukrainian color but they
  • are grayish just with UK Ukrainian C of
  • arms that's it but the main thing is not
  • how those airplanes look and the main
  • thing is what modifications of the f-16s
  • Ukraine obtained and what kind of the
  • missiles those airplanes might carry so
  • let's look to the very interesting
  • photos and discuss with you the possible
  • advantages or maybe even disadvantages
  • of those mods hello my friends and
  • welcome my name is Dennis and this is
  • the latest update from Ukraine let's go
  • here you may see the photo of the
  • airplane wing it's the F-16 that was

  • 1:01
  • delivered to Ukraine already equipped
  • with some of the missiles and other
  • systems but those we're going to speak
  • about more in this video I guess we are
  • all interested in how those airplanes
  • May cope against the threat from the
  • 1:13
  • Russian fighter jets and for this they
  • 1:16
  • should be equipped with kind of the long
  • 1:17
  • range missiles here we see airto a
  • 1:20
  • missile which is used to attack the
  • 1:22
  • fighter jets of the enemy this missile
  • 1:25
  • is Ram im10 A or B modification on
  • 1:29
  • unfortunately so why unfortunately well
  • 1:31
  • because A and B modification is a middle
  • 1:34
  • range missile with a range from 50 up to
  • 1:37
  • 70 kilm the IM 120c however has the
  • 1:40
  • range of 105 km roughly 60 Mi But A and
  • 1:45
  • B modes have two times less range and
  • 1:48
  • this is the air to ground missile we're
  • 1:50
  • going to speak about this system also
  • 1:52
  • later in this video and this is just a
  • 1:54
  • big extra fuel tank to expand the range
  • 1:57
  • of the airplane well maybe I am 120 C

  • 2:00
  • modes are there in Ukrainian Army but
  • Ukraine just hesitated to show it on
  • this picture for example just not to
  • give the enemy all of the information
  • let them think that we have just the
  • 2:11
  • middle range missiles the IM 120a and B
  • 2:14
  • modifications obviously will not help
  • 2:17
  • Ukraine to fight against the Russian
  • 2:19
  • fighter jets the range is basically too
  • 2:21
  • short for it however those missiles are
  • 2:23
  • perfect for Ukraine to be used against
  • 2:25
  • the Russian attacks on Ukrainian
  • 2:27
  • infrastructure for example against the
  • 2:29
  • cruise missiles or against some sort of
  • 2:31
  • the drones around two weeks ago Ukraine
  • 2:34
  • has announced that it's going to use
  • 2:35
  • f-16s mostly to protect Ukrainian
  • 2:38
  • infrastructure against the Russian AO
  • 2:40
  • attacks and those fter Jets will not go
  • 2:43
  • to the very front line but in reality no
  • 2:45
  • one will tell you for sure of how
  • 2:47
  • Ukraine might use those F Jets the
  • 2:50
  • potential is great actually also for the
  • 2:52
  • real air combat missions against the
  • 2:54
  • Russian fighter jets and there are some
  • 2:56
  • special tools installed on those
  • 2:57
  • airplanes which will help Ukrainian
  • 2:59
  • Pilots to do so for example this system

  • 3:02
  • let's go deeply into it the system is
  • 3:05
  • called Eclipse plus so electronic combat
  • 3:08
  • integrated Pon system plus those are
  • 3:10
  • used to identify whether the airplane is
  • 3:13
  • under the Rader coverage of the enemy
  • 3:15
  • and also if the airplane is under the
  • 3:18
  • rocket attack those state of art systems
  • 3:20
  • are very effective and developed in
  • 3:22
  • Israel the eclipse plus is not just able
  • 3:25
  • to identify whether the airplane is
  • 3:26
  • under the tack but they also able to
  • 3:29
  • cope with massage threats like for
  • 3:30
  • example dropping flares automatically
  • 3:33
  • flare Pops to disturb the navigation of
  • 3:35
  • the mile Warhead also the system is
  • 3:38
  • equipped with chaff basically those are
  • 3:40
  • the radio interferences for the missiles
  • 3:43
  • which are heading towards the airplane
  • 3:45
  • we call
  • 3:46
  • it depole deflectors or in English it
  • 3:50
  • says chaff with this system it's very
  • 3:52
  • hard for the missile to unify the Target
  • 3:54
  • and to follow it I'm not saying that
  • 3:56
  • with this system the f-16s are
  • 3:58
  • invulnerable no the Russian Air Force

  • 4:00
  • might still intercept those fighter jets
  • 4:02
  • but those kind of the systems make the
  • 4:04
  • task for the Russian Aviation more
  • 4:06
  • difficult way more difficult guys and if
  • 4:09
  • you like the content which I produce
  • 4:11
  • daily you may also consider supporting
  • 4:12
  • me on patreon the link for my patreon
  • 4:15
  • page you may find just in the video
  • 4:16
  • description below thank you so much for
  • 4:19
  • your motivation and your kind support
  • 4:21
  • the Ukrainian Air Force pilot have
  • 4:23
  • received the special helmets with a
  • 4:25
  • special aiming equipment it is called
  • 4:27
  • ghm CS from what understand it helps the
  • 4:30
  • pilot to aim just looking at the target
  • 4:33
  • from any sort of the direction in
  • 4:36
  • description it definitely says that
  • 4:37
  • pilot might Target the Target by the way
  • 4:40
  • it looks toward them so it's not
  • 4:41
  • necessarily needed to aim the airplane
  • 4:44
  • towards the target it isn't the special
  • 4:46
  • dog F Helmet or something no you just
  • 4:48
  • look at the target the target could be
  • 4:49
  • like dozen kilometers away or miles away
  • 4:52
  • you just lock on and fire that's it what
  • 4:55
  • is good that Russia doesn't have the
  • 4:57
  • analogs of those helmets well actually
  • 4:59
  • Russia ordered those helmets from France

  • 5:01
  • those are called H's top side but
  • because of the Russian war against
  • Ukraine Russia hasn't obtained those
  • helmets so Russian Pilots will still
  • have to fly lock on the target with
  • aircraft nose and then fire the missile
  • they do it even on their brand new Soo
  • 57 and for the airplane if you fly with
  • a super sonic speed those kind of the
  • Maneuvers are not really necessary and
  • they can even play the bad role in a
  • real fight here the Ukrainian pilot just
  • may fly away from from the Target and
  • still launch the missile which will go
  • directly to hit the target while Russia
  • is working on their own analog to
  • produce for their modern helicopters and
  • Soo 57 Fighter jets I mean those helmets
  • but no one knows how much time Russians
  • need to came out with the same idea
  • probably they'll never came out with it
  • and you know what Russian Z bloggers say
  • they say that those are not the real
  • airplanes those are decoys because you
  • see that there should be the cannon but
  • there is nothing inside really just just
  • the darkness hm well guess what can I

  • 6:01
  • say if you take this particular image
  • 6:03
  • you already see that there is something
  • 6:05
  • inside if you go to the image setting we
  • 6:08
  • may adjust the exposure so we go here
  • 6:12
  • and and you can definitely see that
  • 6:14
  • there is something it size so I adjusted
  • 6:16
  • exposure a lot and yeah it's low
  • 6:20
  • exposure this is high and definitely we
  • 6:22
  • have the Highlight out there so I guess
  • 6:25
  • that there is the hole there is the
  • 6:26
  • other hole so it goes like that now you
  • 6:29
  • can see just from the bottom and from
  • 6:31
  • the bottom you see that there is the
  • 6:33
  • darker part on the upper part of the
  • 6:36
  • hole that's it so Russia say that
  • 6:38
  • Ukraine received High detail decoys or
  • 6:41
  • the real airplanes without air forces
  • 6:43
  • and they will be sent as the fake
  • 6:45
  • targets closer to the front lines well
  • 6:47
  • let Russia think like that it is awesome
  • 6:50
  • actually but I think that those
  • 6:51
  • airplanes already were spotted in
  • 6:53
  • Ukrainian Skies this is by the way the
  • 6:55
  • Patriot system so Ukraine introducing
  • 6:57
  • the Western made Weaponry in its Army

  • 7:00
  • which is absolutely great also one F-16
  • 7:03
  • was spotted flying over adessa so it is
  • 7:05
  • not Decoy for sure well again F160 will
  • 7:08
  • not be that decisive factor of this war
  • 7:11
  • it's not a huge game Cher but they might
  • 7:15
  • help Ukraine to fight for example
  • 7:17
  • against the Russian Aviation potentially
  • 7:20
  • we should understand that obtaining just
  • 7:21
  • 10 f-16s will not change the situation
  • 7:24
  • dramatically for Ukraine however at the
  • 7:27
  • same time it's a good step forward for
  • 7:29
  • Ukraine obviously and Russia is really
  • 7:32
  • concerned about the fact that Ukraine
  • 7:34
  • obtains the vestern mate Weaponry even
  • 7:36
  • Kadir today spoke about the possible
  • 7:38
  • Russian defeat he said that in that case
  • 7:41
  • scenario Russia will use nukes to
  • 7:43
  • eliminate all of the shons he said so
  • 7:46
  • Devils around the world but his chicken
  • 7:49
  • size brain doesn't tell him that Russia
  • 7:51
  • will also be hurt in this war but in
  • 7:54
  • general it's good that they start to
  • 7:55
  • speak about the possible Russian defeat
  • 7:57
  • let's watch this kind of the unique
  • 7:59
  • video it's kind of interesting and I've

  • 8:00
  • took this information from the Russian
  • 8:03
  • zet bloggers in this video the Russian
  • 8:05
  • fighter jet was shut down pilot
  • 8:07
  • successfully ejected from the airplane
  • 8:10
  • he immediately took out his smartphone
  • 8:12
  • and started to film kind of the unique
  • 8:14
  • image let's watch it
  • 8:20
  • [Music]
  • 8:43
  • he said that he was shut
  • 8:50
  • down he should turn on the GPS he said
  • 8:54
  • GPS not the Russian gas or something he
  • 8:57
  • also said that there is no satellite
  • 8:58
  • connection or the mobile signal

  • 9:07
  • there we weren't able to perform our
  • 9:10
  • mission he say that we were very high
  • 9:13
  • but the missile H them off guard that
  • 9:15
  • didn't expect it yeah guys sorry about
  • 9:17
  • the watermark so here is the fer jet
  • 9:19
  • itself it has two of the engines one of
  • 9:22
  • the engine is on fire as you may see
  • 9:24
  • over here the airplane probably was
  • 9:26
  • damaged significantly and the Russian
  • 9:28
  • pilot was just lucky to eject I
  • 9:32
  • personally hate all the Russian military
  • 9:34
  • PS because they bomb Ukrainian civilian
  • 9:36
  • infrastructure too this airplane looks
  • 9:38
  • like many of the Russian fighter jets
  • 9:40
  • like for example Soo 30 or Soo 35 maybe
  • 9:44
  • even fighter bomber Soo 34 or really it
  • 9:48
  • could be Soo 34 because pilot reveals to
  • 9:51
  • himself like he say that us we were not
  • 9:54
  • able to conduct this Mission we were C
  • 9:57
  • off guard so in so are for there two
  • 9:59
  • pilots on board but he also might say it

  • 10:02
  • V because there could be some other
  • Fighter Jet flying because usually it's
  • not just a single airplane performs that
  • mission was he shut down by the F-16
  • probably not it could be the Patriot
  • system right guess we have the new more
  • detailed satellite image of the morosos
  • Airfield there are less clouds and you
  • may say that definitely this Airfield
  • Was Heard badly especially the
  • ammunition Warehouse nothing is left out
  • there the kaboon was just enormous and
  • it was caused by the Drone strike by the
  • Drone strike drones hit very precisely
  • but the shells which drones carry are
  • not that powerful imagine the Airfield
  • after the attack and strike also the
  • detailed image of the Russian base with
  • the air defense systems was published
  • the air defense systems definitely were
  • targeted by Ukrainian strike and they
  • received damages how severe are those
  • damages it's hard to say judging on
  • those images but something really
  • happened out there but in general

  • 11:00
  • Ukraine does everything to strike the
  • 11:01
  • Russian air defense also kind of the
  • 11:03
  • unique footage of the Storm Shadow SL
  • 11:06
  • scalp cruise missiles which been
  • 11:07
  • launched from the soo 24 tactical bomber
  • 11:11
  • it's really great that Ukraine still has
  • 11:13
  • those airplanes after the Soviet Union
  • 11:15
  • they were modernized to carry those Cru
  • 11:17
  • missiles and Cru missiles actually today
  • 11:20
  • hit some of the Russian military
  • 11:21
  • infrastructure in occupied luhansk
  • 11:24
  • ablast it was a very powerful Kaboom at
  • 11:26
  • one of the local factories which could
  • 11:29
  • the base for the Russian military Lo
  • 11:31
  • also report about the secondary
  • 11:32
  • detonation so Ukraine just cats the
  • 11:35
  • Russian supplies and their military
  • 11:37
  • munition far away from the front lines
  • 11:39
  • using Storm Shadow harmers and now there
  • 11:42
  • is the chance that f16s will be also in
  • 11:45
  • action and this is the Rost of oblast
  • 11:47
  • Yes again Rost of oblast the city of aov
  • 11:50
  • where something is happening with the
  • 11:51
  • Russian oil storage by the way it's not
  • 11:54
  • the first time that this facility has
  • 11:55
  • been hit before Ukraine already stroke
  • 11:58
  • it with the drones but the outcome this

  • 12:01
  • time I would say more severe about the
  • 12:03
  • Russian submarine which was hit in the
  • 12:05
  • silver St of Harbor indeed we have the
  • 12:08
  • satellite images quite detailed
  • 12:09
  • satellite images that the attack was
  • 12:12
  • conducted this is the place where the
  • 12:13
  • submarine wasn't going the special tests
  • 12:16
  • so this roof is made out of the special
  • 12:19
  • net and here you may see this spot the
  • 12:22
  • tail of the submarine exactly the same
  • 12:24
  • one as over here it is hard to say
  • 12:27
  • whether the submarine sang down but we
  • 12:30
  • don't see any sort of detail like that
  • 12:33
  • on this photo the real evidence we'll
  • 12:35
  • see after some time and here he miss
  • 12:37
  • spond that Russia moved their SE carine
  • 12:39
  • out there probably they'll try to LIF at
  • 12:41
  • least partially the submarine so yeah
  • 12:44
  • here you can probably see this tail the
  • 12:46
  • submarine previously was located in this
  • 12:48
  • area and on this image it's really hard
  • 12:51
  • to spot it something is happening with
  • 12:53
  • the vulgarr electrical substation well
  • 12:55
  • there is still electricity in the city
  • 12:58
  • but the substation definitely was
  • 12:59
  • severely damaged maybe because of the

  • 13:01
  • drone strikes oh yes just a single
  • 13:03
  • district is left without electricity
  • 13:06
  • Russia continue their attacks using
  • 13:08
  • motorcycles those are China made dirt
  • 13:10
  • bikes very cheap in production and they
  • 13:13
  • do not leave for a very long time well
  • 13:15
  • even though those attacks mainly fail
  • 13:18
  • but sometimes those are successful but
  • 13:21
  • after a couple of the successful
  • 13:22
  • operations they usually gone so Russia
  • 13:25
  • sends more and more motorcycles and more
  • 13:27
  • and more soldiers now about the situ
  • 13:29
  • tion on the front lines and
  • 13:30
  • unfortunately as usual Russia takes the
  • 13:32
  • ground out there with the Ukraine
  • 13:34
  • receiving losses in pakros Direction so
  • 13:37
  • losses over here over here here Ukraine
  • 13:40
  • lost many of the vehicles so I guess
  • 13:42
  • Ukrainian military command send some of
  • 13:44
  • the reinforcements but it was I guess
  • 13:46
  • too late and if you check out the
  • 13:48
  • development of this situation on the
  • 13:50
  • Deep State military map it was yesterday
  • 13:52
  • you may see it over here and it is today
  • 13:55
  • so Russia now expands their attack
  • 13:57
  • sideways they're not moving towards
  • 13:59
  • pockros closer because it's very

  • 14:02
  • dangerous for them to move with kind of
  • 14:04
  • the narrow attack Vector now they go to
  • 14:07
  • the sides but still their main goal is
  • 14:09
  • to advance towards pakros the distance
  • 14:11
  • towards pakros settlement from the front
  • 14:13
  • lines is just
  • 14:15
  • 17.10 km 11 miles which is not that far
  • 14:19
  • away so the major attack of the Russian
  • 14:21
  • army is in parros Direction the other
  • 14:23
  • one goes towards Tes and the third one
  • 14:26
  • in CHF Y in all of the three areas
  • 14:29
  • Russia has success the most success they
  • 14:31
  • have in Po's Direction in torit and CHF
  • 14:35
  • are limited success about CH of before
  • 14:38
  • Russians crossed this River but they
  • 14:39
  • were repelled with the help of the
  • 14:41
  • Ukrainian resistance Russia does the
  • 14:43
  • operation out there with a very limited
  • 14:45
  • forces like four soldiers maximum they
  • 14:48
  • send to cross the river to take nearby
  • 14:51
  • houses but then there are detected to
  • 14:53
  • Ukraine with the help of the drones just
  • 14:55
  • repels the Russian attacks in ttic
  • 14:58
  • Direction Russia uses lots of the

  • 15:00
  • aviation gling bombs as for example over
  • 15:02
  • here they show it on their channels Mali
  • 15:05
  • cancels the diplomatic relations with
  • 15:08
  • Ukraine because Ukraine supports the
  • 15:10
  • local militant groups which are fighting
  • 15:13
  • against the government we have this in
  • 15:15
  • their official statement well okay and
  • 15:18
  • Russian propaganda already say that
  • 15:21
  • Ukraine loses support in Africa Ukraine
  • 15:23
  • is bad Ukraine supports Terror well it
  • 15:26
  • happened after the bner group was
  • 15:27
  • ambushed and according to the rich
  • 15:28
  • recent information 80 with something
  • 15:31
  • soldiers of the Wagner Army were Ka in
  • 15:34
  • the attack and by the way those oat Torx
  • 15:37
  • are not really our friends guys those
  • 15:40
  • are Fanatics mostly but they're fighting
  • 15:43
  • against the Ukrainian direct enemy
  • 15:45
  • Vagner sold the Russian soldiers guys
  • 15:48
  • what is happening in UK right now is
  • 15:50
  • just terrible we see lots and lots of
  • 15:52
  • the propaganda also from the Russian
  • 15:55
  • side concerning this topic so I don't
  • 15:57
  • want to speculate and I want want my
  • 15:59
  • British viewers to comment on that issue

  • 16:02
  • in the comment section below from the
  • 16:04
  • people who definitely live there and who
  • 16:07
  • know the situation and we may read out
  • 16:10
  • their comment checking their own story
  • 16:12
  • from their own perspective I guess it is
  • 16:15
  • the right thing to do because the
  • 16:16
  • information I was able to find in
  • 16:18
  • Internet even from the official media of
  • 16:21
  • the United Kingdom is usually very
  • 16:23
  • biased and it's really hard to define
  • 16:25
  • the real picture so I would wait for
  • 16:27
  • several days to come out out the
  • 16:29
  • conclusion about the rights in UK we
  • 16:32
  • know the reason what caused those
  • 16:34
  • protests and the reason is really
  • 16:36
  • shocking it's shocking my friends and
  • 16:39
  • for me as the father it's beyond
  • 16:41
  • understanding just a few words about the
  • 16:43
  • American politics well Donal Trump
  • 16:45
  • called The Exchange which was taking
  • 16:47
  • place between Russia and the United
  • 16:49
