Basically nothing. Air Force officials have stated it will take years to get enough pilots that are trained well enough to make any difference.
Ukraine can hire contractors from the >4000 people who have been flying F16's for decades. I think that will work just fine.
Petraeus suggested that F16's could fly from hidden sites from roads as long as those roads were well paved and kept clean. That's not high tech nor an easy target.

On a side note, the long training period is why I was one of the first to suggest sending F16s to Ukraine way back in February 2022.
If they would have only listened to you.

"Wildberries" is the Russian equivalent of Amazon. It was founded by a couple that's now splitting up, and the husband has now appeared to Kadryov to stop his wife from giving 30% of the business to the owner of a billboard company who she is reported to be romantically involved with. It's nuts.

INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 1 August 2024
On 26 July 2024, former Russian Deputy Defence Minister Dmitry Bulgakov was arrested on corruption charges. Bulgakov served as a Deputy Defence Minister from 2008 until 2022. According to Russian media the charges relate to the procurement of food for military personnel that was unfit for human consumption, but nonetheless bought by the Russian Ministry of Defence at inflated prices, allegedly in exchange for bribes to the then Deputy Defence Minister Bulgakov.
As previously reported, corruption is endemic in the Russian defence industry and is broadly tolerated within certain limits and as long as the individuals involved enjoy the required level of political patronage.
The full-scale war in Ukraine has generated a crackdown on corrupt practices, both in a practical sense, to reduce budgetary wastage during a very costly military campaign; but also because political patrons such as former Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, have lost direct influence over procurement processes. While current Defence Minister Andrei Belousov is likely attempting to limit corrupt practices, it is highly unlikely that he will be able or willing to eliminate corruption in Russian defence spending.

We can give them Hunter Biden and a spy to be named later.

Russia is releasing Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former US Marine Paul Whelan as part of a major prisoner swap with the US, according to people familiar with the situation
I'm concerned about who we released for this. Last time we released an international arms dealer for a WNBA player.
Can we just arrest some RT reporters so we can release like for like next time?

No cope at all, I'm serious. Venmo or Cash App me a non-insignificant amount of money and I won't post here anymore, AND I'll donate it to a literacy fund in your name.

Damn b I cucked you so badly you are basically begging to leave. I was hoping for some more 'hard-hitting' analysis rather than you bending the knee so easily.

I'm giving you an opportunity to have your name attached to one meaningful thing in your life, you should take it. Everyone needs at least one

Also, more proof you need help with literacy.
Lets look at some context clues
-LSU fan
-Struggles with reading
From a rough area in New Orleans I'm guessing.
What are your opinions on the Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger?

So it will be the summer of 2025 or maybe the winter of 2025-2026 before Ukraine has enough trained soldiers, sappers, repaired tanks, repaired equipment, etc for it to launch another major counteroffensive.
Nobody wants the war to last that long including Ukraine leaders…

Did you already forget one of our first conversations? That should give you a hint to our respective education levels. You seem very mad that your 'money laundering' hypothetical was called out as completely retarded. You'll survive little guy.

Correct.
But showing a very real strength and capability boon that is coming down the pipe should increase their standing during the negotiation process.

your 'money laundering' hypothetica
The one where I literally said it wasn't actually money laundering, its just called that often? I actually made a point in that post that people throw the term around, if you read it/are capable of reading it. Sure, I remember that.
Stay mad kid, but at least you have your Dodger Charger at a reasonable 37% interest rate for 9 years.

Yes I remember the whole post you dumb shite head. I bet your dumbass is going to post the whole thing again. My god.
The only expertise you bring to this thread is to be wrong quite a bunch as well as bring up the most banal points, all of which we've heard before from admittedly more entertaining trolls.

Do you care to give your prediction on how this war will end?
