I suspect some ATACMS will already be at the border and the F 16 must be very close. The training of the Uke pilots has obviously been painstaking and they were experienced pilots to begin with. The F 16s may be old but they will have modern missiles attached so they will make their mark.

Putin will only have to fart in the wrong direction and Europe will join in the affray.

BTW Ru has just lost a big amphibious plane, one of only 3 to be built.
