  1. It feels surreal that Ukraine can fly its planes like this 4 years after, when it seemed so hopeless in the first days of the war.

  2. 24 seconds of afterburner at seemingly full burn, that’s 15000kg burn per hour, or 250kg per minute. That’s 100kg of jet fuel burned to show off in this video.

    That’s 125 liter of jetfuel or just under a barrel… roughly counting this was $80 to record 24 seconds of afterburner action.

    correct me if i’m wrong with my napkin math.

  3. I must admit that I still love the sound of an F16 flying overhead. We used to call it “The sound of freedom”. And now it’s heard in the skies above Ukraine.

    Those Falcons are living the life that other jets could only dream of.

    Fighting Russians in an active war zone? Exactly what they were built for.

    That’s got to be the coolest video I’ve seen this year at least.

    Juice is looking on from the other side, smiling.

    Slava Ukraini from America! Give ’em hell.

  6. It’s really frustrating how long the Biden administration foot-dragged saying the Ukrainian pilots weren’t ready to use such advanced planes as f16s.
