Hoping the addition of these jets can help the front lines a bit.

The last update I read said they were having trouble sparing pilots and flight crews to learn how to fly them. Hopefully they've found a way to get more skilled pilots and crews ready.

I'm sort of confused by this. Just last week Ukraine announced that they'd start flying F-16s after Orthodox Easter was over...so where are those F-16s coming from?

Haven’t you ever done an egg hunt and turned them in for F-16’s afterwards?
