A "small" number of F-16 Fighter Jets has ARRIVED inside Ukraine; donated by NATO-member countries. (File photo above - NOT actual delivery)
It is not yet known how many, but the delivery is described as "small."
It is also not known if Ukraine pilots will simply be able to get in and start attacking Russian targets, or if more training or other logistics need to be put in-place.
This delivery marks a GIGANTIC escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The F-16's are all of a special design making them "nuclear-capable." Russia is aware of this, and has warned that if they even SEE an F-16 in the skies above Ukraine, they will treat it as a "nuclear threat."
This has "Catastrophe" written all over it.
Why the collective West continues to escalate, when the Ukrainian army has lost seven-hundred-thousand men (dead) and over one million more injured, is anyone's guess. But escalating they are, and no one know at what point, Russia may decide to simply put an "end" to it.
