F-16s in Ukraine: 3,150 Targets Down, Including a Devilish 666

Original version ·

It turns out Lockheed Martin’s legendary jets are doing just fine in the messiest airspace on earth.

So, the commander of the Ukrainian Air Force just dropped some wild numbers. Our pilots have effectively turned the skies into a no-fly zone for Russian hardware, clocking over 3,150 confirmed intercepts using F-16 fighters. The most surreal part? Exactly 666 cruise missiles have been swatted out of the air.

It’s not just about the numbers; it’s about the fact that they are operating with a limited stash of ammo and still finding ways to be this lethal. The folks from Lockheed Martin even swung by to see how their hardware is holding up. Apparently, they were pretty impressed with how our crews are wringing every bit of performance out of these birds, with talk now shifting to getting us some newer Block 70/72 models.

Seems like the devil is in the details, and the devil is getting shredded by Fighting Falcon pilots.

    666 missiles? That is some straight up apocalyptic irony right there.
    +1 jokeOh look, someone discovered numerology; I am sure the missiles are deeply concerned about their satanic branding

    Cool story but when are we getting the rest of the planes? We need more than just stats.
    +4 solidDemanding more hardware while ignoring the stats is the classic armchair general move
