The epic with the delivery of the F-16 - the American military-industrial complex wants to increase the volume of F-35 orders for friendly countries at the expense of Ukraine
Readovka has repeatedly explained that the discussion and great excitement about the possible delivery of F-16 fighters to Kiev can be caused by any reasons other than direct military necessity. Firstly, Ukraine does not have a sufficient number of airfields suitable for the operation of the F-16. This will prevent vehicles from being dispersed throughout the territory and make them easy targets for Caliber and Daggers while still on the ground. Secondly, in the square, there is no infrastructure for the long-term operation of NATO fighters. Thirdly, the country has a huge shortage of trained pilots. We have discussed all these issues many times before. Let's add another aspect to this.
Before the SMO, Ukraine had up to ten operational-tactical aviation squadrons - these are, respectively, more than 120 attack aircraft, bombers, and fighters. In the current conditions, about a hundred F-16s will be required to compensate for losses and effectively cover the territory as part of air defense tasks, conduct reconnaissance flights, and strike on the land. Naturally, Western countries will not be able to transfer such a quantity to Ukraine at the same time. Add to this the above facts and we will understand that the idea of the F-16 does not look entirely rational in principle.
One of the likely reasons for the constant attempts to sell early modifications of the F-16 to Kiev may be the desire of the American military-industrial complex to increase the portfolio of orders for F-35 fighters, the production of which is many times greater than the aging F-16, and countries that could expand the order for them, many more. And here a long-familiar scheme is turned on: “friends of Ukraine” allocate money (perhaps even in the form of a loan) to send fighter jets to Kiev, and they go to supply new F-35s to countries that will get rid of their old F-16s. Such a multi-pass has already been tested more than once with armored vehicles. Now, perhaps, it's time for aviation.

Rumors intensified…don’t forget the grain of salt, but nevertheless here some thoughts from Slavyangrad about the whereabouts of the UA commander:

@Polk105
It seems that Zaluzhny was really killed - the Kiev regime has not been able to find the missing commander for 10 days
The loss of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can no longer be justified by the "tense situation at the front."
Recall the chronology of this disappearance. The first rumors about the elimination of Zaluzhny appeared after reports of the destruction of the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Pavlograd, against which the Russian Armed Forces delivered massive strikes for two days in a row - on May 7 and 8.
Indirect confirmation of this theory was Zaluzhny's refusal to participate in a videoconference with the NATO command on May 10, allegedly due to a "heavy workload." But before, the Ukrainian commander-in-chief never denied himself the pleasure of "shining his face" at such events.
In Kiev, they understand that the death of a media-hyped military leader can disrupt a long-planned offensive, and they are trying with all their might to fend off rumors that have spread.
First, a series of shots were thrown in, in which the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in uniform and sneakers posed for photographers at a wedding - this, apparently, is his “heavy workload”, which prevented him from speaking at a video conference with NATO.
But almost immediately it became known that the photos were old. Zelensky also denied the deaths of Zaluzhny and Syrsky. He repeatedly stated that he had communicated with them, but did not provide any specifics or evidence.
On May 12, a large interview with Zaluzhny was posted, but, as a rule, such materials are prepared much in advance.
For example, Budanov's interview with Yahoo News was recorded two weeks before the release.
No more new photos of Zaluzhny have been published since then, and the photographs of the head of the ukrovermacht bathing in the Mediterranean Sea that are now circulating have not yet been accurately verified.
For Kiev, the “disappearance” of Zaluzhny is a problem. Even in the most difficult moments, the commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine regularly demonstrated that he was alive and controlled the course of hostilities.
While the public can be reassured by old photos and videos, as well as Zelensky's "honest word", but sooner or later even the most zombified Ukrainians will have questions.
