An F-16 requires 17 hours of maintenance for each flight hour!
Who in the Ukraine can provide that?
even if you could fly in mechanics, technician and software techs.... how are they going to train up, where would they stay that’s safe and what supllies are they going to use.
I can give my neighbor a 155mm howitzer, but he ain’t gonna be able to fire, clean and acquire targets without a long chain of “stuff” called logistics.
That’s why this entire “war” is BULLSH$T. Some Ukrainian father is going to figure out why his son got turned into chowder and he no longer owns his farm... and then all the little stooges for the CIA, Black Rock, government (Ukes and ours) were just doing this to get rid of surplus equipment, probe and evaluate combat techniques and acquire the monopoly on grain for that part of the world.... and he ain’t gonna be happy.
There is a special place in hell for all those grifting pieces of feces that pushed Ukraine into thinking that joining NATO was a good idea. They will walk away with BILLIONS of make believe dollars and just buy up the assets with pennies on the dollar and buy cocaine, boats, extra homes and hookers..... just like the president’s son.
