    1. I’m no aviation geek, but doesn’t the explosion that close to the fighter endanger the thing with debris? Was like 1sec between pop and the jet pulling as it goes by.

    2. That little sound after it exploded reminded me of an A10 Warthog. I wonder where this particular f16 originates from, since we Dutch donated quite some F16’s.

      These Ukrainian pilots are true bad asses! As all of their ground troops. Kudos and I sincerely hope they are victorious over the Russians.

      Given the operating cost of an F-16 (fuel, maintenance, ammunition, etc) I’m not sure this is a net win for Ukraine.

      Drones are likely more numerous and cheaper than the defensive capabilities that F-16s can provide.

      Not saying that they shouldn’t be taking out targets of opportunity if they’re on patrol but sending up an F-16 for a single drone seems like a drain on an already taxed defense.

    5. I was listening to Forty Six & 2 and the beat dropped right as that shit blew up I think ive achieved Michael bay levels of HELL YEAH.
