Moon of Alabama \u2013 July 14, 2023<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Pushed by the weapon industry the U.S. Defense Department is dragging its feet over the delivery of F-16 airplanes to Ukraine:<\/p>\n

Pentagon: Ukraine battlefield situation currently ‘not ideal’ for F-16 deployment<\/a><\/p>\n

The battlefield conditions in Ukraine are currently “not ideal” for the employment of F-16 fighter jets, said Lieutenant General Douglas Sims, the director of operations of the Joint Staff, on July 13.<\/p>\n

“The conditions right now for the employment of the F-16s are probably not \u2013 they’re probably not ideal,” the general said at a press briefing.<\/p>\n

“I mean, the Russians still possess some air defense capability. They have air capability. And the number of F-16s that would be provided may not be perfect for what’s going on right now,” he clarified.<\/p>\n

Lockheed-Martin, which still builds and sells the F-16 to various countries, is obviously not happy that the markets will soon learn that the F-16 have no fu**ing chance against modern Russian fighter planes and air-defenses.<\/p>\n

Their coming destruction will scream “Buy Russian!” to the world and several countries will probably switch their provider and do so.<\/p>\n
