Are we supposed to be impressed that they have an F-16?

They have three hundred of them. Most of them are domestically produced copies though.

Egypt and Israel both have something like that number of them, too. Don’t get me wrong there are schools of thought that say a big pile of F-16’s coordinated well would be better than the equivalent cost of F-22’s or F-35’s. The Israelis shoot down LOTS of stuff with F-16’s.

But wikipedia says the Ruskies have more than 800 fighter of one sort or another. Turkey vs Russia, I’m betting on Russia.
