the funniest part is:

 

all these "state-if-the-art" weapons systems being delivered are refurbished stock that was deteriorating in warehouses being stored for parts

 

and even so

 

are being retrofitted with obsolete systems

so that when they fall into Russian hands with the motors still running

as just happened with the French AMX-10RC's and the Leopards, national security won't be compromised nearly as much

 

just how effective are Vietnam era F-18's with 20th century armament going to be?

you can demand all the F-16's (and F-35's, F22's k3k) you want.

 

but if they take off froma NATO airfield, WW3 is on.

 

so they have to be based in Ukraine, and once they take off nd land, the location will be known.

 

and more:

the maintenance and programming will need to be carried out by U.S. personnel, and they will face the same fate as the British nationals that were stationed at the former airfield where the Storm Shadow cruisers were housed. key word: former.

 

this event pretty much precludes the F-16's ever showing up in Ukraine. 'member when McNoname and Obama sparred over giving F-16's to Ukraine? Pakistan got someโ€ฆ
