Asked to Putin Miscalculated, is U.S. F-16s, is not only a Self-inflicted, it also going to petrol over Ukraine blue sky.

Any Day Now, Ukraine Will Finally Get F-16s. As Ukrainian president Zelensky said thanked to Dutch govt “for its decision to start preparing the initial 18 F-16 jets for their delivery to Ukraine.”

Dutch defense ministry stressed F-16s shipping until all paperwork was in order and Ukrainian defense ministry had suitable air bases and enough trained personnel. Ukrainian pilots had been in Romania learning to fly the nimble F-16. There is no reason Ukraine’s first batch of F-16s won’t begin to arrive within weeks, if not days.

Netherlands, Denmark and Norway all has pledged their surplus F-16s possible to Ukraine the country could get 60 of the single-engine, single-seat, supersonic fighters to bolster existing to the much less sophisticated—MiG and Sukhoi fighters.

First 18 F-16s—out of 42 Dutch air force could make available in the comlng day or so—have been “improved,” Yuriy Ignat, a Ukrainian air force spokesperson, told Ukrainian media.
(It’s true: F-16A/B Mid-Life Updates, or MLUs, are improved compared to the original F-16 from the early 1980s.) >》But don’t expect Ukrainian planes to get latest improvements that, say, LIKE THOSE U.S. Air Force is adding to its own F-16s.
