    Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes.

    BTW, F16s are not as the article says 5th gen fighters. They are 4th gen, and early blocks at that. they are almost discards. They are obsolete fighters that are being replaced by modern fighters by the nations donating them. There is no goody goodness here. Ukraine is being used to use up old stock to replenish with shinier stuff.

    Have European countries sent Eurofighters, or Rafales, or Leopards 2A6s? Hmmm…
