The freedom to play video games?
The Russian jammers and flares were pretty good against US missiles.
It was less than a 50% kill, but pretty much no surprise as The US believes that only 1 in three will kill against a defended target. Same applies in reverse.
The 20mm at close range was obviously devastating. I’m not sure what you saw or heard but I heard Ukraine say f*ck you, f*ck you, f*ck you, f*ck you” at 6000 rounds per minute.

Only if you have a headset and a 12 year old at the keyboard.
It looked good on my iPhone.

No. But I think he was inferring to what this plane can do irl. Because we have given those exact planes to Ukraine. If I remember correctly. Even though game, nice demonstration on the planes that we have given Ukraine.

Somewhat, A better example would be DCS. Arma has pretty much no overstress factor for its planes. DCS is a great sim to get started on though and is very detailed. I do love me some Arma though.No. But I think he was inferring to what this plane can do irl. Because we have given those exact planes to Ukraine. If I remember correctly.

It’s not clear whether confirmed presence of Ukraine’s best combat aircraft at an airfield in the Carpathian Mountain foothills was intentional Kyiv messaging or a military security leak.

The article is a somewhat less artful translation according to the person who told me of it from “Poland” (retired Aviator doing some totally routine contract work as an IP)
Basically the photo leaked the location of a base where F-16 are stationed in the Ukraine. Big Oops moment.
Heh, it was 0400 local and I was trying to show what was happening that day in Kusk and elsewhere where.No. But I think he was inferring to what this plane can do irl.

In real life the helicopters would be at tree top running jammers making it hard to engage the at range (aim 120) not impossible just difficult. Also they would have scattered. The hit probability’s are what I was taught for a launch in the envelope and other conditions perfect. (Both Ir and radar as a rule of thumb)
No plane would ever get that close before servicing the target because you might fly through debris and if single engine shoot yourself down.
Anyways I was trying to show this since we are not yet getting actual footage yet. This video has been making the rounds (or one just like it) for a while. Again as it was 0400 in the morning I didn’t explain full what I thought was self evident. My bad.

The U.S. is using its highly classified threat library to improve the chances of survival for Ukraine's F-16 and to gather critical intel in return.

Accident losses in the US normally are higher than combat losses.
It’s because the activity that takes place at fatal altitudes and fatal airspeeds.

Well, once the US starts fighting someone competent, I am sure combat losses would increase.
Absolutely. We train to fight a peer or even a superior adversary but there isn’t one since the 1960’s.
China is going to be a bitch. While we might (?) tactically win IMO we will almost certainly suffer a long term strategic loss.
