Episode 2: F16s to Ukraine: What's Next in the Struggle for Air Supremacy over Ukraine

A conversation with former Supreme Allied Commander Europe Philip Breedlove

At long last American-made F-16s have appeared above the skies of Ukraine as many Ukrainians have anticipated their delivery, hoping these fourth-generation aircraft will be a game changer in the war. While F16s are vastly superior weapons compared to the older Soviet MiG29s, one of the key questions about the arrival of F16s is what their impact will be on the conflict and whether Ukrainian pilots will be able to master their advanced weaponry in a way that Kyiv can use these aircraft to defend its airspace and help turn the tide in the war. Joining me for this discussion is former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe Philip M. Breedlove, who is a Distinguished Professor at the Nunn School of Government at Georgia Tech University and a frequent commentator on the war in Ukraine.

Eyes on Eurasia with Glen Howard
Hi Everyone,
I have had such a great reaction to my articles that I decided to begin releasing interviews with guests who follow regional security issues more closely and are experts on the subject matter. To kick things off please be my guest to listen in on the issues of the day and how these events may continue to unfold. My personal Substack is about developments and trends that shape the geopolitics of Eurasia.
