It will go down in the history books as one of if not the biggest display of bravery and heroism to ever exist. Right alongside what the young men of DDay accomplished on June 6, 1944 helping Europe, and what would have been the entire world, free itself of tyranny and evil. Certainly the biggest military upset for little Ukraine to defeat “big bad” Russia and drive them out of their land using willpower and heart despite having 1/50th of the resources Russia had the first several months of the invasion.

Ukrainians are very much like Russians. My Ukrainian friend consider Russians as brothers, they are fighting at the behest of the US and for US interest because of the US coup in 2014. Sad.

@@rollbamaroll6518 Ukraine is being heavily supplied by western forces. They have A LOT of resources now. And Russia is a socialist behemot full of corruption and incompetence in their armed forces.

Give the Ukrainians machines that were successful in Afghanistan or Vietnam.

Rick start really ??? I guess you watch too much movies or is that naive….putting a pilot in a newer aircraft with different avionics with short amount of training is a death wish. When you are trained to operate a particular air, you will be pushed to the limit under heave stress so that your reaction becomes second nature. Now try that in a aircraft with different avionics and see what happens……….maybe his job is just to shoot down gas powered Iranian drones confined to Ukraine airspace and not to venture out behind enemy lines.

My guess is that when Russia amassed their forces on the border they took most of their aircraft and put them in woods with camo nets or in other places that could hide them until needed. There is no way they were at their usual assigned locations the day Russia decided to attack or they would not be flying anything at all. I told my girlfriend the day of the invasion that if Ukraine was smart there would be absolutely zero aircraft parked at their airfields for Russia to destroy....

In ww2 America had inferior air planes against Japan and Germany and a lot of Americans pilots lost their lives because of it but Americans came out with the p51 mustang and the rest is in history books and when Americans got close enough to Japan well that’s another story

@@fidelcastro1706 Don't you have a war to loose? Why are you here?

Most pilots can only eject twice in their careers because of the compression of the spine all that force does

The Russian migs ejection is slower than the US f16 jets ejection. The US ejection system doesn't fk around 😅

It's worse the faster you are. He seemed to be going slow.

They've come a long way in half a century. With survival rates starting at 40% and now being closer to 90%, with much of that being due to (ironically) lower speed engagements due to missions being more frequently NOE (close to the ground) at subsonic speeds due to the pervasive threat of missile defenses in all theaters today, and more fighter craft filling the ground attack role.

Yes, but missile can be more brutal.

Glory to Russia! May the LGBTQ Ukraine be defeated!

Don't think Australia has F16 and I think most of if not all our legacy hornet's f18a/b went to Canada if not yer send the F18 to Ukraine we also had some f111c that were retired some years back if there anywhere near flight ready send them too.👍🇦🇺🇧🇧🇺🇦

He's a fighter pilot. Moving him to a subsonic ground support aircraft would be a demotion and a waste of his skills. On a side note, the A-10 is even more obsolete than the MiG-29, no matter how hyped it is.

@@nematolvajkergetok5104 The A-10 has been vastly upgraded over the years.. in no way is it obsolete. It just serves a separate purpose. If they need to take out bombers and air threats, the A-10 is not the answer. But he also talked about giving support to ground units and how its so dangerous for them in their old MiGs. The A-10 is basically a flying tank with thick armor and can take multiple hits and keep on flying. And anything the gun cant turn to dust, it has GBUs and JDAMs for. A better ground support aircraft simply does not exist.

@@osirianknight Yes, it's been upgraded, but it's being retired for a reason. Specifically the idea of the flying gun is the most outdated thing.

Isn't the Black Tulip also the name of the An-12's that takes dead soldiers back to Russia in zinc coffins? Which history is also intertwined with emergence of the term cargo 200?

But it is the plane that makes the difference, It's not WW2 where pilots could offset the technological gap with their skill. Modern electronics make an enormous impact, especially in aviation. That's the reason why NATO focuses on air superiority doctrine and why Ukraine suffers such heavy losses during trench warfare. They have to slowly push through fortified enemy positions without air support, which means they have no effective way to eliminate Russian artillery and heavy weaponry that constantly harrases their troops. I wish the best for Ukraine but I can't stand the fact that we're doing the absolute minimum given the fact that most of our modern weaponry was designed to counter Russian war doctrine, which still focuses on trench warfare and throwing cannon fodder at the enemy.
