F-16 Украины летают СТРАННО… И это УНИЧТОЖАЕТ российские самолеты

Ukraine's F-16s aren't the jets the U.S. Air Force flies. They fly stupidly low to dodge Russian S-400s, bait missiles on purpose, hunt Shahed drones with a 1970s cannon to save missiles they don't have, and carry Danish sensor pods and American jammers that don't come stock. In July 2026, one of them scored Ukraine's first confirmed F-16 air-to-air kill — a Russian Su-35, confirmed by U.S. Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine and backed by RUSI. This isn't a wonder-weapon story. It's six specific adaptations forced by a war nobody trained for — and why every one of them makes sense once you see the constraints Ukrainian pilots are actually flying under. In this video: ✈️ Why Ukrainian F-16 pilots fly under the radar horizon instead of above it 🎯 The "bait formation" tactic that wins without firing a shot 🔫 Why F-16s are dogfighting drones with a cannon instead of missiles 📡 The Terma pod, AN/AAR-60, and Shadowbox jammer stack bolted onto these jets 💣 The mixed weapons loadout — from Sidewinders to SDBs on the same airframe 🛬 How Ukraine hides its F-16 fleet using Agile Combat Employment 🇷🇺 The confirmed Su-35 kill, and the F-16 lost to a malfunction the same month 📊 RUSI's numbers on 2,500+ drone intercepts — and why that pace isn't sustainable We also address the pilot training bottleneck head-on, and debunk the "Ukraine only has 4 F-16s left" claim that's been floating around with actual delivery numbers.
