The anticipation in Ukraine is palpable as the arrival of Western-made F-16 fighter jets from Denmark and the Netherlands is imminent. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has hailed the fighter jets as a potential game changer in Ukraine’s ongoing war against Russia’s invasion. However, there are concerns among Ukrainians about where the F-16s will be based, as some fear that their presence in local neighborhoods could attract intensified Russian attacks.
The delivery of these fighter jets comes at a critical juncture in the conflict, with Ukraine desperately seeking to tip the balance in its favor. The F-16s are seen as a vital asset in boosting Ukraine’s military capabilities and enhancing its ability to defend against Russian aggression.
The deployment of the F-16 fighter jets has sparked speculation and raised hopes among Ukrainians, who see them as a symbol of Western support and solidarity. The jets are expected to bolster Ukraine’s air power and provide a significant advantage in the ongoing conflict.
As the F-16 fighter jets make their way to Ukraine, the country braces itself for what could be a turning point in the war against Russia. The arrival of these advanced aircraft represents a significant milestone in Ukraine’s battle for sovereignty and territorial integrity. Only time will tell if the F-16s will indeed tip the balance in Ukraine’s favor and help in repelling Russian forces.

Just like all those western tanks that are now on display in Moscow as war trophies right now were a game changer??
Ukraine will defeat Russia and recuperate all the lost territories including Crimea.
No..
This dw military expert must of got his credentials from a cracked jack box. Even I could qualify as a military expert.
DW: HIMARS wil tip the balance 😅
DW: Leopard Tank will… 😅
DW: F16 will???
Another supposed “game changer “, seriously?? How many “game changers” have to bite the dust before the media stop calling any new platform that it is introduced to the battlefield game changers? In war there is no game changers. The enemy learns and adapts to any new platform and over time blunt its effect. Plus, the F16 it’s a 70’s platform and the Russians have many countermeasures against it. The only game changers in battle it’s a mass of well trained and well equipped soldiers and Ukrainian running out of both things.
The shovel are perfoming so well such that this guest's analysis has drastically changed. He is now being a little realistic and pessimistic-rightly so about Ukrainian capabilities. Kudos to the wielders of Shovels and spoons.

Imminent? You've been saying this for months!
No they won’t. You need an air dominance strategy in dealing with the Russian air and air defence power
Why have they been talking about f-16s for two years now ?
Just give it to them already
….what is after the F-16 once it too fails like every other NATO weapon? Right before the Leopard 2s were sent they were already begging F-16. So, I'm sure they are already begging something else now; a Ford class super carrier?"
Most of them will be out of action by the end of the year.
Probably not, Russia will prevail. But the balance will be tipped for sure in favor of Lockheed Martin Corpoation's profit line. F-16s built with my tax dollars and paid with the money stolen from Russia that was given to Zelensky. And all the while 13 MILLION AMERICAN KIDS KEEP STARVING IN THE USA.
Good to see the Dutch stepping up !
Don't underestimate the Ukrainian soldier.
For over 2 years, they've adapted, analyzed, evolved. Expect the same for their pilots.
another game-changer
I like the DW report from the Ukraine war, not because Russians are beating Ukrainians, but because news reports sell junk to viewers and experts are super funny in choosing words to make weapons from the west as miracles.
No, but we‘ll pretend for two weeks that it will.
They are not stealth… russia has air defence
Jeez Frank, maybe they should give the F-16s back. Dear lord, the doom, the gloom. F-16s useless, troops in retreat – maybe they should just give up, Frank. Would that be better? If memory serves weren't you one of those guys back in February 2022 who confidently predicted Kiev would fall in a week?
In the next week Ukraine f-16 have been reported to be destroy in thier base 😂
we are waiting to see the dog fight Between russian and western fighter plane. And hope f16 will not be showing in Moscow where mighty abraham1,2,challenger, leopard tank are showing their power..😅😅
They've only trained 6 pilots 😂
This spurs on the nation's military as a whole! So true
NIMBY during war? Really?
