2/ Experts call it a breakthrough. The Swedish AWACS system enabled the F-16 to strike before the Su-35 even knew it was under attack. If Ukraine keeps neutralizing russian aviation and missile systems, the war could finally shift in Ukraineโs favor.

The F-16 can get targeting data from other aircraft and doesn't emit with its radar. The enemy might not be aware of its existence (especially now that the Russians are low on A-50's). The Su-35 only knew it was in trouble when the missile's seeker activated about 10 seconds out.
Thank you ! That was going to be my next question. How can Ukraine exercise command and control of fighters? I wondered about the logistics of getting targeting info to the Ukrainian Air Force. Modern fighters are useless if you don't know where the enemy is.
Luky Shot like Jugoslawia with a B1:
On 27 March 1999, during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia amid the Kosovo War, a Yugoslav Army unit shot down a Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk stealth ground attack aircraft of the United States Air Force by firing a S-125 Neva/Pechora surface-to-air
This is stupid.
So Russian AWACS can provide targeting data for Iran without repercussions?
Thatโs my take away for Sweden
NATO needs to knock it off
A non-allied country can lend targeting data without any fallout.
NATO sets the standard again
Saab 340 is an interesting aircraftโฆ. Moderately conservative radar but does perform and economically at thatโฆ
Can the Saab 340 actually guide the missiles launched by the F-16 onto its target? If so it would theoretically be possible to use F-16 as a launch vehicle for the Meteor AAM and massively increase engagement range.
I hope they can curb the glide bombs this way. They don't need to down a lot RU aircraft for this, only scare them far enough away.
Yes, Ukraine will keep pushing russia's aviation further from its borders.
Where do these folks come from? Some say it's "nOt UkRaInIaN" like it isn't obvious from the start, others are afraid "NaTo GeTs iNvOlVeD" 
Pathetic lil folks should be thankful this SU35 won't ever be able to bomb THEIR OWN ASS, period!
Jeez, chill...

I canโt wait to see what new weapons Ukrainians r going to develop when they win the war. Bcs they will be the strongest army in the world
Maybe it would be a good idea for the EU to buy some machines of this type?
Letโs see if this:
A) happens again and/or
B) forces the orcs to keep their planes further away from the LOC
Any other American president would get a blinding hardon knowing our F-16 and AIM 120 missile took out one of Russiaโs most advanced fighter jets.. Nope not Trump
Since you didnโt post any proof of evidence, I will help you here
The pilot of F-16 and the frontline Reporter.
Are you sure it was an F-16 that shot the SU, or it is another fairytale.
Knowing you - it is a BS from top to bottom.
nope.. the su 35 carcass looks like it had problems. still manage to land perfect shape.. you know shapes of plane that getting shot?
If true this is something I suspected would start to happen. This is likely linked (no pun intended) to CSI being enabled and the use of amraam 120D, specifically D version.
The AWACS is built by Saab, been used by Sweden but have been donated to Ukraine.
Its operated by Ukraine. Semantics but important.
what is the distance between the F16 and the SU35 when the F16 jet launched a missile to shoot down the SU35 jet?
Shooting down a single plane will not change the course of the war.
If this happened, I hope the Russians shoot down Swedish planes too. Remembering that several F16s have already been destroyed.
Otra demostraciรณn d capacidad y valor d #Ucrania en guerra contra invasiรณn d rusia,un estado corrupto y terrorista
Mientras los orcos y dementes d liliputin,con sus socios,tiranos,ladrones,y desquiciados del islam q bombardea ciudades,asesinan civiles,Ucrania destruye su ejรฉrcito
Hahahha
Se inventan historias llenas de tecnicismos
Cuando rusia derribo el f16 no publicaron nada
Solo dijieron que fue derribado
Probablemente el su35 fue abatido por Patriot
If you have no success at all, like Ukraine, you have to make an elephant out of every fly as an intellectual supporter.
This dude is fighting on twitter for Ukraines borders to be closed, and Israels borders to be closed, but in the same time then he also fight for EU and USAs borders to be open! This is the stupidity from these people!

The Kiev bastards don't want to take the bodies of their dead soldiers. There are two reasons: it's scary to admit that there are 6,000 of them and they don't want to pay widows. What Satanic scum! Burn them in hell!

Sollte das wahr sein, weiรt du was das bedeutet: Null, nada, nix - ein blindes Huhn hat ein Korn gefunden, gratuliere 
The SU-35 loss combined with Operation Spiderweb losses makes for a very, very bad week for Russian aviation.
There is no confirmation nor evidence it was an F-16 fighter that shot down the Su-35.
So we have Western NATO members actively providing intel and data for the UKR to shoot down RU planes.
Just another prove this is a NATO/UKR proxi war against RU.
Thanks for pointing that out.
So Sweden entered the warโฆ I am sure Russia is glad to hearโฆ I am sure this small detail will be forgoten when Russia responds in kind to Sweden
Is that the same SU57 you've been shooting down for a week now? Or are your news stale?
Sad that she doesn't agree...

There is not a single piece of tangible evidence that a Su-35S has been shot down by a Ukrainian F-16AM.
I am very skeptical about this. The F-16AM, even using the APG-66 in the V2 version, would at best detect a target just over 100km away, whereas an Su-35S with the Irbis-E
