The United States of America recently confirmed it will deliver F-16 fighter jets to the Ukrainian air force, ending months of will-they or won’t-they speculation and just down right teasing. The F-16 is a multirole 4th generation fighter jet that has formed the backbone of Western air forces since the 1980s, with 4,600 aircraft produced and 2,100 in-use by 20 different countries, the F-16 is the most widely operated fighter in the world.

Along with donations of jets from other NATO allies, Ukraine will start to receive dozens of F-16s by the end of 2023, with many more to come in 2024. The West has held off on delivering Western aircraft to Ukraine until now for 2 reasons. First there were potential fears that Russia would view the transfer as a serious escalation leading to retaliation and second U.S. officials believed that learning to fly and logistically support the technologically advanced F-16 might be more difficult and time consuming than it was actually worth. Exact numbers are difficult to come by. It appears Denmark will send 6 this year and from what I could dig up it looks like they’ll eventually send a total of 19. The Netherlands has a total of 42 in their inventory but it’s unclear yet how many of them will be sent.
News agencies are naturally going bonkers with predictions about how these F-16 will either turn the tide of the war in Ukraine, or won’t make a difference at all. So in this video hopefully we can try to untangle some of that confusion. So why is the F-16 such a big deal for the air war over ukraine? I’m your average infantryman chris cappy let's find out.
