A. There are plenty of experienced European operators to recruit. No need for US personnel.
B. They can be maintained in Poland, Romania, etc. Many Eastern Euro countries are already operating F16’s.

Kremlin sent pilots & their airplanes to Korea and Vietnam. Anything that happens now would be less than what has already happened.
