Russian invasion of Ukraine

So, 61 F-16 committed From Holland and Denmark.

A bit of a technical breakdown of what they can hold. Im no expert and just reading up and sharing what I found.

Each one can hold 2x 1 ton JDAM's that can hit a target within 9 meters from 15 miles away, dropped from about 40/45k feet. sounds like prime operational distance is 10 miles though.

if Ukraine get that level of JDAM then its a significant increase is explosive power entering the frey.

Edit: Also, if they are given AIM-120 AMRAAM Air to Air missiles thats gonna be a big boost. 105km ( 57mile ) range

The air to air is the most significant IMHO. Right now Ukraine jets can’t engage until they are well inside the Russian “kill zone”. Being able to use AMRAAM will allow them to engage much further away and level the playing field in an area they are, today, simply no match for the Russian’s.
 
Two Ukrainian missiles: Knock knock.

Two Ukrainian missiles: Kah.

Russia's foreign ministry: Kah? Kah who?
