3 of those 8 were shot down by patriot missiles. I like speculating too, but I would think photos of F16s operating in Ukraine would leak pretty quickly just from excited civilians or air force crew

Was thinking "what speculation"? An F-16 is going to draw a lot of attention very very quickly. Nobody is speculating because either they have them or they don't and it's not much of a secret.

Those mofos are loud, too. No secret when they're overhead, either.

You can't even have your mobik bro suck your dick behind a bombed out building without someone filming you both getting blown up. I suspect we would know fairly quickly if they had them up and running. Not saying it's not possible but I'd be very impressed if they did and we had not seen them on the internet by now.

We gave them prototype f16’s with the new fancy invisibility paint! The paint makes them sooo stealthy, that they can’t be seen!

Seeing that....uh....Special Military Operation being performed on the battlefield in the middle of a war was eye-opening, to say the least.

It's now preserved for all human history as well. What a fucked up time-line we are on.
