More about these F-16's

Pioneering work
The Ukrainian Air Force is largely built around older Soviet MiG fighters, radars and communications equipment. In addition, the Ukrainian landing sites must also undergo an overhaul before any aircraft may be integrated.
- The F-16s you send to Ukraine must be able to communicate with the Ukrainian systems, ground forces and radars. So adjustments have to be made. There will be a lot of challenges because these are such different systems, says Hans Peter Michaelsen and continues:
- Another characteristic of the F-16 is that it has the air intake right down to the ground, so very clean runways are also required. There must not be cracks in the asphalt and things that it can suck up into the engine. So the bases they will be flying from will need an overhaul.

There's a lot more into it than training the pilots and the grown crew
