Romania switched to F-16 years ago and they admit to not being nearly finished with integrating them.
Poland also got some F-16 and basically everyone who don’t have to lick US boot to keep his job say it was the worst deal ever, planes are pretty shit, half of them are cannibalized for parts or otherwise not working already and the deal itself was horrible, our military has to basically buy everything in the USA for them and by the way US broke the deal instantly by not providing the agreed offset, but not only no one in government dare to mention that but it would be of no use since we’re stuck with the junk. Everyone was mightily surprised when on parade in 2019 we seen 12 of them at the same time because nobody ever seen more than 8 (there is 48 of them overall).
Of course the only conclusion of that shitfest from our government was… attempt to buy F-35
