      I would have thought a condition was to not use them in Russia. Maybe the migs they have, now that they have F16 to replace them on home soil.

        They don’t need to operate in Russia. This close to the border, stand-off munitions are enough.

        I hope they break that condition. Russia can’t blame us for their actions, we gave them the f-16s for defense it’s not our fault they use them for offense.

      Have been for a while. That was the purpose behind going after long-range ground radar and the couple AWACS Russia can still get off the ground.
