“I am writing to express the United States’ full support for both the transfer of F-16 fighter aircraft to Ukraine and for the training of Ukrainian pilots by qualified F-16 instructors […] It remains critical that Ukraine is able to defend itself against ongoing Russian aggression and violation of its sovereignty” said Blinken.

Will this solidify a Ukrainian victory?

U.S. officials have privately said that F-16 jets would have been of little help to Ukraine in its current counteroffensive and will not be a game changer when they eventually arrive given Russian air defense systems and contested skies over Ukraine

Or will Russian radar and missle systems tear them up?

      Considering the US is sending old existing equipment and not buckets of cash it’s kind of a non issue. Unless you want to give the homeless tanks or something. Like sure, instead of buying more equipment in the future you guys could help the poor but from what I have seen from the US it’s not happening anyways even though you have the money for it. May as well help Ukrainians, at least this way the US is helping someone.
