There was one shot down 1 or 2 years ago that pretty was said to be an air to air kill by an f16.

That spiderman Su-34 pilot comes to mind

If this story had happened, it would have been heavily promoted by Ukraine. Perhaps you confused it with the F16 crash caused by Geranium.

It was pretty big news when it happened

It never happened. There is none confirmed aerial victory on Ukr side.

Uh its as confirmed as any other russian kill. Ukraine claimed the kill and russia didnt contest it. Its a fact the su35 was shot down and the explanation provided was the f16 you can choose to disregard it but thats just you.

Ukr claim is not “fact”. Russian pilots denied that something like that would ever happen.

Its a fact the su35 was shot down there is no dancing around it. Wether you choose to believe Ukraine’s explanation is ultimately up to you it is however the only explanation provided so to disregard it would be pretty unreasonable.

Su35s has only been killed by patriots by now, not a f16

The su35 shot down over kursk last year was not claimed to be patriot.

Yeah about Patriot I heard. F-16 dont have any.

If you choose to disregard the claims by ukraine then what is your explanation?

Do you have a link?

need to find it has been a while

What about the Su-30’s?

I’ve heard those were lost in more consistent numbers, possibly for the type of missions assigned to them.

On june 7 the official ukranian air force telegram reported the su35 shot down was a result of an air force operation, i cant seem to find any examples of them doing that the other times patriot was involved in an aircraft shootdown.

a lot of the air defenses are also considered under air forces
Plus i am p sure avivectors post preceded the official post
