I think that once the F16 training is completed, it will really change the face of the battle field. I assume we are giving them jdams so they will be capable of striking hundreds of miles into occupied territory.

Aren't there only a handful of Uke pilots that knew english well enough to do the training? I'm all for sending Ukraine whatever they ask for, but I doubt F-16s will turn the tide

The F-16 will be able to sniff out AA and other ground targets from far away. It will also allow Nato to gift more advanced missiles like JDAM. https://youtu.be/8G7fr3MonQY
