re: A Ukrainian F-16 pilot achieved a feat nobody flying the jet has managed before

Read my very first post in the thread. Should be easy to find. It’s been there from the beginning.

Fair.

It’s been a slow day IRL but that’s now wrapping up. Just got home so about to dive into some projects.

So let’s wrap this up pretty quickly ok?

Read the rest of the post.


See? This is the problem. You can’t managed to read a simple post with just a few sentences.

Ffs don't be a twat.

What convinces you this story is more than believable?

Quite literally the second part of the very post you just looked at.

I’m tired of telling you things only for you to read what you want to read.

Either read the damned posts or don’t.

I’m honestly trying to. I try to lay things out pretty plainly for people. The problem is when people either try to read too much or don’t read it at all.

Yes I think it’s a believable story. And it’s believable for the reason listed in the second half of my original post.

Some of the “oh that’s just bullshite” crowd seems to think that the claim in the OP is some “holy shite that’s incredible” accomplishment. It really isn’t. It’s an accomplishment because of a lack of opportunity. We haven’t had other examples(to my knowledge) of dozens of cruise missiles being fired at the same time creating the opportunity for a pilot to shoot down six.

From what I’ve heard from our naval pilots in the ME, the Houthi’s don’t typically fire nearly that many at once. Which means……a lack of opportunity.

I don’t have video footage of British WW2 pilots actually using their own plane’s wing to flip over a V1 bomb in mid-flight but I do believe the story based upon the likelihood of it happening.


All of this….and I do mean all of this….has been posted in this thread.

Google it you can see RAF in action.

Supposedly 90 plus missiles and hundreds of drones.

Deconfliction should be a nightmare.

I don't trust the Ukrainians anymore than I trust the Russians.

Possible yes.

Probable in the maybe range.

Some general on Facebook dubious

Again ample ability to provide audio and video proof and if they did this most assuredly they would have provided it.

H ll command and control audio would be simple. Fox calls alone.

I get the feeling your a pro Ukraine guy.

I after 32 years in the military wouldn't miss a wink if both corrupt countries could some how both lose.
