The thing is if I am looking at online data correctly the block 20 F-16s use like pulse radars that identify fighter size targets 50km+ literally any Russian aircraft with a phased array radar will be more than enough. Also those F-16s will be in Ukraine's airspace than NATO which will make them prone to artillery, drone or missile strikes in runways. I think I would recommend F-16.nets Administrator to not allow new user accounts to be created over there since they will be troll accounts when F-16s are actually in Ukraine because the entire forum there was livid before about India claiming they shot down an F-16 from Pakistan and the chances of F-16s getting destroyed in this war are higher than any conflicts that have used F-16s before.

possibly a Bober long-range drone, with a range of 1,000 km

The bad news for Russia is that the Ukrainians are determined to increase the production of these drones, and in fact they have been gradually increasing it.

Russia has been bombarding Ukrainian bases and installations for months with its best missiles, trying to destroy aircraft, and the Ukrainians send a warning with a drone, destroying a bomber 700 km away...
Russia needs to import hundreds of Dezful missiles from Iran, now!

Why will Ukrainian F-16's be prone to Russian attack when Russia can't even take out the fighters Ukraine currently has. Russia has been trying to take out the SU-24's that carry Storm Shadows without success why would it be different for the Vipers?

What threat are the su-24s when we don't even see them being used in ukraines offensive?

Photos from the Ukrainian drone exhibit in Chernihiv before it got cancelled out by Iskander.
It wasn't cancelled, the surprise attendance of the Russian delegation turned into an international exhibition....

1.5 years into the conflict and the Ukrainians are still using DIY type commercial drones.

Where's the western version of the Lancet?

Sudoplatov Battalion gets awarded for its battles in Zaporozhye. The volunteer unit consists mainly of foreigners and pro-Russian Ukrainians. This unit is well known for its skill in FPV drone attacks.

Satellite image of the destroyed AFU ammo depot in Lysogorka. This was struck allegedly by Geran drones. A funnel about 100 meters wide was formed from one of the strikes.

Chechens using artillery and direct fire at Kleeshevka taking out a column of AFU vehicles.


More details on the attack on the Chernihiv drone exhibit. This was a jackpot for the Russians to say the least.

UK is not shy about giving Ukraine long range weapons. F-16's can carry the Storm Shadow and Brits may decide to gift then their much longer range version. What would really make a difference for Ukraine's Vipers is if they come with HARM targeting pod and EW pod. They'll be able to fly high and closer to the frontline taking advantage of the HARMs 150km+ range. That's only if those Vipers come with such systems.

Since when can the F-16 Storm Shadow CMs??
