F16s old toys ? Crazy you.I believe you are joking right ? How abojt the f35s being shot down too
f16 is old...F22 raptor is the modern multirole fighter for the u.s airforce. The reason for the hype over f16 is the light weight and maneuverability, good for dog fight.. No stealth tech, so shooting it down isnt an issue.

Russia is still busy with Ukraine. Ordinary Ukraine they haven't won and some of you think they can win America.
Your America fought rag tag Taliban for 20 years with billion of dollars. You know what happened afterward.

American hardwares being embarrassed everywhere

Pakistan shot down one, Iran fried THAAD, and Russia now roasting F16
While you are not wrong, perhaps it is worst on the other sides be it Russia or China. The former has its sky kites flying scraps roasted like yam to be eaten with palm oil in Russia itself, Ukraine, and Syria. We have not forgotten how Syria was armed by Russia but her air defenses became test run machines for America air dominated and superiority fighter jets. Equally, the case was never different in Iran when her fighter jets gave generals sleepless night using their skies for plane dives and having a field day to nuke anything at their disposal all thanks to the American frying machines that had fried the skies, air defenses and Iranian armed Russian machines as well enemies of humanity! The American war machines has not only been tested and proven but has become the only undoubtable, undefeated, unchallenged and undebatable machines that give enemies a run for their lives! They are called the ghost of the sky the undertakers of terrorists and the saving grace for humanity!

Even at that with her less stealth technology, with it been an outdated and obsolete plane it is a top notch fighter jet when it comes to dogfight, airial battle, maneuverability and even for reconnaissance compared to the modern day fighter jets! Let anybody mention any fighter jets made of the same era with F-16 that can outperform it in the world.

Keep consoling yourself with illusion. Iran sents more than a thousand missiles into Israel of which 97℅ were intercepted
HMMMM THE HUMAN MISSILE CALCULATOR.
I KIND OF LIKE PERSIANS, THEY HAVE ALWAYS GOT THIS INDOMITABLE SPIRIT REGARDLESS OF RELIGION.

OGA THOSE MISSILES DEFEATED US BASES AT IRAQ, DEFEATED THE FRENCH RAPHAELS IN CYPRUS, DEFEATED US/UK BASES AT JORDAN, ENTERED ISREAL AND STILL DEFEATED THE IRON DOME AND DAVID SLINGS AND STILL HIT ONE IRON DOME. BEFORE I FORGET STILL DEFEATED THEIR USS CARRIERS DEFENCES AT THE RED SEA..... REMEMBER!!!!!!!!! THOSE MISSILES WERE SHOT FROM IRAN.

LEAVE RELIGION AND SENTIMENTS AND GIVE PERSIANS THEIR FLOWERS

I still give it to Ukraine despite the fact that they are having a magnanimous support from the West because if you look at how a super power can easily conquer a client or a satellite state easily proximity play a very big part! But for three years Ukraine has stood tall disgracing and embarrassing Russia in many ways. They have been so resolute, determine and undeterred!

The F-22 is not a multirole fighter. Like the F-16, it is strictly an air superiority fighter but fifth generation. The F-16 is not light weight and yes, shooting it down is a big deal since according to many western military analysts, even the F4 phantom or the F-5 tiger is better than the SU-57.

Just as Israeli airforce had all the opportunities to wipe out half the Iranian population if that was their target.
Just imagine an enemy force taking over your skies for 12days with over a 100 fighter jets. Israel was magnanimous and merciful to the people of Iran
Oh yea, the Israeli Air Force had all opportunities to wipe Iranians out just like they did in Gaza that didn't hit them this hard
They were just too magnanimous and merciful lir they were in Gaza

F22 raptor carrys a payload of GBU 32 JDAMS used for ground targets and also AIM 120 AMRAAMS for air - air missile attack, making the F22 a multirole fighter jet.
The F 16 is the lightest active fighter jet in the US airforce.

Lol, You guys can believe anything just to make yourself happy. Why didn't they bomb all the places where Iran were lunching missiles since they took over their airspace. Abi they just allowed them to kills some Israelites as good demand just like he demanded that Abraham should kill Issac? Just a question.

Israel owned their skies from day one till today they have not recovered

Most of them no get sense. How Iranian missiles defeated all US military bases and still hit Iran should be a source of worries because Iran is very far from Israel. Those missiles were shot from Iran directly

and your question is confusing as fxk...If the SU 27 doesnt have stealth. Shooting it down is highly possible.

It seems Russia is having upper hand this time, Ukraine is all alone fighting Goliath since Donald trump withdrew US support, he even redeployed the missile defense systems from Ukraine to the middle east to protect Israel

537 drones and missiles will surely overwhelm any air defense system.

Iran was very careful to have fired only 550 missiles and some drones in their 12 days war with Israel, imagine sending between 100 - 200 ballistic missiles, drones and cruise missiles at the same time like Russia always does, the destruction and casualties in Israel will be much higher
What do you mean by it seems Russia is having the upper hand this time?

Right from the convergence of the west as represented by the Nato military alliance in Ukraine and the inception of Special Military Operation by Russia, Russia has always had the upper hand! They had been taking things slow hoping that Ukraine and the clown Zelensky would come to his senses but seems Zelensky is too far gone in his grandiose delusions.

As per Iran, Israel would have faced almost destruction had some Iranians missiles not intercepted by adjoining nations like Jordan and British, and US warships and planes.

2. Do you know how to play chess, or have you played Chess?

No matter how new a toy is, when you have a newer toy, you will certainly wanna make better toys. Or remodel them anyway. I shall speak no further. Cos I know nothing.

That is why I am supporting PBAT till 2031 and beyond. He is a grandfather. You remember those old tortoises in our folklore that were extra clever and extra respected. I have seen one in my lifetime and now understand how Africa ordinarily functions.
