How many subs are left in the Black Sea? Start the countdown...

Three Kilo class cruise missile equipped submarines I think. Or it might be two with one of a different class.

Ukraine has received its first American-made F-16 fighter jets, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
"F-16 in Ukraine. We did it," President Zelensky said at a ceremony at an unnamed airbase - though he added that more were needed.
Ukraine’s leader thanked allies for what they were once very hesitant to provide.
The arrival of the jets marks a crucial milestone in boosting the capabilities of Ukraine's air force, which largely relies on old Soviet-era jets.

How does the F-16 compare to the fighter jets that Russia use?

I wonder if Wlad gave these far-right riots, the thumbs up, before they kicked off.

Only thing I remember is that they have an excellent firing range, unlike the Soviet era jets. They can launch missiles a great distance whilst still safely over their own territory.

I wonder if those on this side should have forseen this. Poor bastard.
