   Zelensky has now confirmed that F-16 is flying in #Ukraine. I think we should see this as an indication that Ukraine does not expect wild and spectacular consequences in the short term. Otherwise they would not announce the planes, but would have left the results to talk for themselves.

     well, with 6 aircrafts, they can't do much.

     I look forward to their milbloggers complaining bitterly about that. It warms my cold little heart whenever they do.

     @AndersGottlieb I don’t think so. Russia has never adapted to anything preemptively. They will wait until they have experienced totally avoidable losses a few times before thinking about a new plan.

     Maybe he announced it as it might get the Russians to think twice when they plan the future glide bomb attacks, as this article suggest.

     An excellent analysis Anders. Shows that #Ukraine feels Russia is incapable of hurting the #F16s they have and the moral boost is more valuable than what they are going to do in the short-term.

     Ukraine fights smart so I think the first missions are going to be solidly the ‘deter’ phase of air superiority. They are going hunting radar.

     At least Putin believes in some renewable resources. 😉

     @VikingChieftain @anderspuck You don't need to adapt, if you have enough meat to spare. 😉
