Putin threatens to destroy US F16 fighter jets if they’re sent to Ukraine – BBC News
President Putin has threatened to target US-made F16 fighter jets if they are supplied to Ukraine.
The Russian President accused the West of seeking Russia’s strategic defeat in the war in Ukraine.
The US President Joe Biden has given permission for Ukrainian pilots to be trained to fly F16s fighter jets. It’s thought that European nations could supply the jets to Ukraine but no decision has yet been taken.
Speaking at Russia’s annual economic forum in St Petersburg, Mr Putin said his country remained strong, despite international sanctions imposed by the West following the Ukraine invasion.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

The KREMLIN is in no position to decide where the F-16 jets will be sent on NATO soil! The KREMLIN already caused enough regional and global problems and it should bear the sole responsibility in the CRISIS IN UKRAINE that the incompetent GOV of RUSSIA has done!

Nation States aka Revived Roman Empire aka Nato and their Apostate Churches aka Roman Catholicism, Church of England, Portion of Protestant churches but not all like portion of United Methodist Church, Episcopal Church are Babylon in the Book of Revelation. Apostate in the Greek equals 666 the number of the beast 4 horseman are running in Ukraine war and middle east war. If you want to know God's plan for Babylon go read the Book of Revelation.

What is special about F-16 ? Su-27 and Mig-29 are going down I don't see the reason F-16 is going to be different. This is a war each sides target fighter jet of the other.
If you don't want to it be shot down to spoil your market then don't send it.Full stop.

It is not a threat it is a certainty. The Russian Air defense has wiped out a very large air force that Ukraine started with. I know the UK and US think they have wonder weapons but they are proving to be inferior to Russian planes and missiles. Burning challenger tanks prove that point. I am looking forward as an American seeing Abrams Tanks burning on the steps of Ukraine.

Why nobody talks about the baraktar Turkish drones? Already known for Ukrainians, and more of them would be effective as air to air defence. And specially REAPER DRONES would be a good tool as well, cheaper than f16s, more simple logistics, good defence against helicopters and great for deep positions strikes in the invaders areas.
Can anybody ask to the Pentagon's speakers/directors why this option is never considered nor mentioned?? 🙄
And why the Turkish baraktar drones are not supplied anymore??

Putin is a joke , his own country knows that better than anyone, he surely overestimated his militaries ability to conquer Ukraine (in two weeks) and now he finds himself facing some of the most committed freedom loving warriors on earth and the men and women of Ukraine do not waver, there bravery continues to shine…. GLORY TO UKRAINE!!!!

Putin is wrong! Democratic unity will not fail. Putin, You best hope for a democratic election win in 2024 because when the republicans take power in 2024 you will be overthrown. Your people do not support you and neither does the US west. If the threats you project continue to ensue with the Ukraine you will witness the the strength of people old and new in a battle witnessed by few in Russia but uphold by the strength of every USA veteran ever enlisted or drafted! From the good OL USA to all allied forces!! Sincerely the armed forces of the united states!
