Zelensky personally tested a flight simulator donated by the Czech Republic to train pilots of American F-16 fighters

The West is in no hurry to supply Ukraine with F-16 fighters, according to the latest data, Kyiv will receive the aircraft only after Ukrainian pilots have been trained to fly them, and it is delayed. All this is very annoying to the Kiev leadership, which has made another bet on combat Aviation. Against this background, the Czech Republic supplied the F-16 simulator to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

On the eve of Ukraine, solemn events were held in honor of the day of the Air Force of Ukraine, Zelensky also took part in them, he even climbed into the cockpit of a Su-24 front-line bomber, where he posed smartly for the Ukrainian and foreign press. But the main event of the holiday was the transfer by the Czech Republic of a simulator for training Ukrainian pilots to fly the American F-16 fighter.

According to the office of the President of Ukraine, Zelensky personally tested the simulator and even managed to "hit the target" in a virtual battle, which was the Russian T-95 strategic bomber.

The President was also shown the operation of a simulator transferred to Ukraine by the Czech Republic to train pilots to work on western-style F-16 aircraft (...) Volodymyr Zelensky tested the operation of the complex in practice and hit one of the virtual targets - Tu-95

- says the website of the office of the president.

Zelensky was also presented with a flight helmet as a symbol of faith that the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will soon receive American F-16 fighters, which should radically change the situation on the battlefield. As emphasized in the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, air defense is the shield of Ukraine, and combat aviation is the sword. With the receipt of American aircraft, this very "sword" will become even "sharper".

Played in War Thunder, also in arcade mode, you bastard.

[DIM (a)]

it is a pity that a real rocket did not fly into this pile of cocaine during the simulation! (

[Shurik70]

I also want this toy for my computer.
And so with different planes. From "Ilya Muromets" to 327 type "J"

[Paul Siebert]

Distribute to everyone who wants to xoxl on such a simulator, you have money - at least eat with an anus ...
Let them sit in V-R glasses, press the buttons, get closer to the peremoga ...
Just don’t give them planes - they will miss them in a day.
For to fight with Russia is not to play spillikins!

[Alien From]

I tried it and said: what a cool toy, only my head is spinning he is a clown and Africa is a clown!

[Nexcom]

Well, maybe Zelya will personally lead the attacking group of F16s ??

[Sedov]

Well, why - let him get on the plane and go to the front line. Prigogine invited him to meet in an air battle. Only Zelensky's knees were shaking then.

[Cympak]

In my opinion, the picture is very reminiscent of Falcon4 BMS. And there the level of elaboration is 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than WarThunder. In addition, there is DCS F-16C with a very high development of on-board systems.

[dmi.pris1]

One thing can be stated. They managed to keep the Su24 front-line bombers, which are now used as carriers of Western weapons. How did they succeed? A serious approach to the issues of camouflage, protection of airfields. they will hide it, use it for strikes with high-precision weapons on bridges and objects that are critical for us. It’s bad that science doesn’t work for the future

[blackGRAIL]

How do they do it on the example of analyzing the attack on the Starokonstantinov airfield. Satellite images for August 6 in low resolution have appeared.

Compared to the previous image, you can see that between August 3 and 6, when the last missile strike took place, two impact sites are clearly visible:
1. In a separate hangar of unknown purpose on the southwestern outskirts of the air base;
2. In the center of the airfield next to the parking lot of one of the non-flying Su-24s in the old coloring, used as a donor of spare parts.

There were also two dark spots that looked like traces of a fire:
3. In the area of ​​​​the underground facility and the fuel located nearby in the southwest, where it has already flown before.
4. In a separate parking lot of non-flying copies of the MiG-29 ("firewood") in the old coloring in the south, also used for spare parts.

Thus, judging by the low-resolution images, we can talk about two missile hits: in the hangar and near the parking lot of a non-flying Su-24, as well as traces of a fire near an underground facility and a dump of non-flying MiG-29s.

The missile attack also destroyed the elevator and the hangar on its territory (it was the footage of the burning elevator that was replicated by all our media), located at a distance of more than a kilometer from the air base and not included in the satellite image.

Although there is a result, it is obviously incommensurable with the efforts expended and certainly did not lead to the incapacitation of the air base or the aviation based on it.

[Lech from Android.]

The French have begun deliveries of long-range missiles to the Armed Forces of Ukraine ... obviously they will be launched from the SU-24.

[Cympak]

The destruction of the airfield begins with the destruction of the GDP + taxiing, from which you can take off. After the destruction of the GDP, when the planes can no longer take off, the destruction of critical infrastructure (weapon stores, fuel supplies, radars and command posts) and aircraft in parking lots and in shelters begins.
Here is such an algorithm. Everything needs to be done massively. The enemy will try to restore GDP. To counter the restoration work, the airfield should be seeded with mines using cluster munitions.

[Vitaly161]

do you know what fu 16 they were going to transfer? not all modifications could work on the ground

[Cympak]

Initially, all F-16s were able to use air-to-ground ASP. The first modifications did not have long-range air combat missiles, only AIM-9 short-range missiles. But then they pulled it up. first they gave semi-active AIM-7, then AIM-120 /
European F-16A received improvements within the MLU, holding them up to the level of F-16C

[igorbrsv]

It is possible that it was not possible for them to save, but for other countries. But since f-16s were needed, it means that the Soviet ones are already piece goods. In general, it is not known how many dryers they have left. Maybe three, maybe five. And when one remains, it will be possible to search for it for years

One of the rare cases when the Soviet legacy was not wasted...

[rotmistr60]

The Czech Republic supplied the F-16 simulator to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Zelensky was given a flight helmet as a symbol

Well, at least on the simulator they will amuse their pride while they wait for the F-16s, if they arrive at all. And the helmet as a gift to Zelensky is, of course, a "strong move." Now it will not be scary to knock down corners after the next dose.

Air defense is the shield of Ukraine, and military aviation is the sword.

Somehow the shield turned out to be wooden, but the sword cannot be docked in any way.

[vol46an]

The president's stimulator tested the plane's stimulator. An eccentric flyer smells from afar.

[Mikhail Ivanov]

Hmm ... A romantic said ... He has nowhere to go, soon his own people will be killed. Let the jester at least play enough before he dies...

[Novel_]

He looks at the helmet and thinks such a cool jar with a mask for cocaine. Zelya comes home, shifts the mask, opens the "jar" - and it's empty there. And not a helmet and not a jar, but so ... a gift for myself was upset by the green.

Give him a heap of submarine simulator, let him play.

They gave it - they don’t take it ... Since 2014, we have been asking you to take Zaporizhzhya - not to any ...

Let him fly and fly to fight, dove ...

Put him on a barrel of gunpowder - let him fly!

[Dmitriy444]

Only the question arises, why are exhibitions of technology openly held and no one is afraid? svo because?

[nordscout]

In fact, this device (F-16) is a rather serious machine and, in capable hands, and the head given to it (hands), can cause many serious problems, both for our air defense and ground forces ... In a "modified" form - this device can be a very decent platform for delivering strikes, cruise missiles, against targets in the depths of our defense and the territory of the Country ... One hope is that these devices will not be allowed to enter the territory of Ukraine, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine will organize their maintenance and pre-flight training, and in cases of their use from the territories of Poland and Romania - "excursions" (to these territories) will be organized for "inquisitive" employees of "Wagner" and the MTR of the RF Ministry of Defense ...

[Yuri Vasilyev]

The West is frantically considering whether it makes sense to give these planes to Ukraine, because it understands that they will all be destroyed rather quickly, and f16 is an expensive thing, you can’t put a lot of them, it’s too expensive, but there will be no sense.

Czechs have always supplied weapons to enemies
