the f-16 has the ability to carry nuclear weapons, and hence the nuclear threat, especially if we take into account that the kyiv junta has already been delivered ammunition with radioactive material…
in ukraine, the f-16 will only be good for a ramp/taxiway/runway fod vacuum at best.
perhaps it never occurred to you that the f16 is the most crashed fighter jet in modern history. single engine anyone?
