The Falcons Will Fly
The United States has announced that F16 “falcons” are going to Ukraine. This single weapon will not change the course of the war. It is the cumulative effect that will. So this is the reaction from Ukraine.
President Volodymyr Zelensky reacted to Biden’s decision regarding the coalition of fighter jets for Ukraine
There are two things we need to acknowledge here. The White House has been under pressure to release them for some time now. Finally, it relented, likely after finding out that training Ukrainian pilots were not going to take that long.
I admit, because of where the stick is, I expected it to take longer.
So what will the reaction be in Russia, as soon as they get talking points that is. I expect them to do the usual, including crossing red lines and nuclear threats. I guess to be delivered by Khynzal hypersonic systems that will be intercepted by…Patriots and other Western systems.
They are just predictable at this point.
Now, here is a fantastic coincidence. Apparently, the Pentagon excels at maths, until it does not.
