They were sold to Islamic Terrorists all over the world who promised to return them to the USA.

Most of the surviving Ukes wouldn't be trained on them.

Also, deploying them properly takes intel, lots of training, support, parts, institutional knowledge, dedicated units etc. Can't just hand them gazillions worth of $**t, pat them on them ass and expect any results.

Morons and evil clowns are in charge.

The people vying for F16s make me laugh. It's hard rnough for an AMERICAN squadron to keep F16s in the air. When foreigners try them it less than 50% in the air and terrible execution... even for ground ops.

Expended or sold. Also, a lot of the AA/MANPADS munitions supplied to the Ukranians with much fanfare turned out to be out of date and more dangerous to their users than the targets - look into the German-donated Strela MANPADS; the ones they gave to Ukraine were ones that they had stored pending disposal as being far too dangerous to fire even as training munitions.

Those that weren’t used have most likely ended up on the black market.
