      In the original post above, you claim the Lego box is of an F-16. However, upon closer inspection, it looks more like a set for an F/A-18.

      Boy, I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.

    Would probably cause a whole lot less damage (to the Ukrainians being made to fly the things)

      It’s too funny because the F16 doesn’t stand a chance against Russian air defenses. The US and NATO are giving Ukraine F16 fighters undoubtedly stripped down to the feature set reserved for buyers like Pakistan. They will lack any modern advanced electronics equipment to keep them from getting easily shot down. It’s an old fighter at this point and without the latest upgrade packages is going to be cannon fodder for Russian mobile anti air, which is actually quite advanced.

    Have they figured out how they will actually deliver these? I remember last year the “united front” of nato playing hot potato over who would deliver the jets.

    It’s newer than any other equipment they would get.
