Amazing Wharfie. Coming up with mobile F-16 bases is a miracle in logistics. Every hour of flight time requires 17 hours of maintenance, so to accomplish that while moving everything around at the same time is not easy, to put it mildly. I really doubt RuZZia is able to do this, BTW. Much easier for RuZZia to simply locate their aviation far away, where only the longest-range Ukrainian drones can hit. But that also increases the flight time of RuZZian aircraft, which shortens the reaction time from target identification to strike, and which also stresses the airframes even more than usual. As a result, they have to spend more time and more manpower maintaining their aviation, and they can't fly as many missions as they would like to. Tenchusatsu P.S. - Is "Two Drink Minimum" Hegseth trying to learn what Ukraine has figured out? Or is he too busy working on his makeup and trying to chase down "leakers" within the Defense Department?

Hey Wharfie, remember how I commented on Ukraine's mobile F-16 base strategy and how it was a miracle in logistics? Remember how I mentioned how RuZZia is unable to do what Ukraine is doing, possibly because they find it too difficult and unnecessary? Well, looks like Ukraine is once again reminding RuZZia how much they suck at logistics and how much they suck at keeping their $25M aircraft safe from $10K drones ... No videos, just a report from Ukraine itself, but the story itself is plausible. It's possible that Ukraine sent in drones from an attack vector that either RuZZia didn't expect or RuZZia was temporarily blinded at. Otherwise they would have scrambled their aviation away at the first drone warning. Either way, RuZZia is finding it VERY risky to land any of their aircraft at bases within drone-striking range.
