[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know enough about what can be done with F-16s. 
If they help Ukrainians defend their land better - I approve.
If they can potentially be used for bombing Russia - I think it is too much.

They're mostly a form of air defense.  Russia's been doing nightly air-fired indiscriminate missile barrages of city centers and Ukraine can't make it stop.  The Patriots and other systems are doing a relatively good job minimizing the damage from those barrages but they don't have enough range to pose a threat to the planes firing missiles.

F16s don't give Ukraine an offensive advantage they balance the playing field and take away a Russian offensive advantage that's primarily been used as a temper tantrum terror weapon, they attacked the Ukrainian Eurovision contestant's home town on the night of the show, on civilian populations and critical infrastructure.  The only thing currently limiting the Russians from full saturation is their own corruption and incompetency.  They're limited by how many they can produce each month because they've already used up their stockpiles in previous temper tantrums.[/quote]
