Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

I doubt that very much. Maybe after the war is over, but not any time soon. You need extensive training to fly and maintain a 5th gen fighter, and the sheer cost of maintaining a 5 gen fleet can end up costing billions.

Ukraine needs fighters that are good enough to beat Russia, and the F-16s fit that role perfectly. No Russian fighter can beat an F-16 that has long range weapons, as PAF has proven against the Su-30MKIs which were forced to retreat.

They don't need to fight Russian fighters as much Russian SAMs.

Here F35 gets tens of extra kilometres of safe space from S300
 
I don't want is Ukraine loses and Europe says NATO (with USA) can take on Russia. Then Russia Republicans take the WH in 2025, then NATO Europe with their existing arms of 2022 say, we can take on Russia to defend from a Russian invasion without the USA.

In 2022, EU states should have been increasing arms industry by many factors. And working 24/7 for more ammo and arms.

One year into the war and Europe is complacent. You need arms/ammo and manpower to fight a war.

To defeat arguably the largest army on the globe, you need a larger army.

US would use air power and cruise missiles to destroy the Russian army in a week. Europe does not have this capability. Needs arms in larger amount than Russia with overwhelming firepower.

That would include drone swarms, artillery, shoulder fired weapons. In larger quantity than Russian 100K heavy weapons. Firepower to match firepower.

EU is wasting years of opportunity to defend Europe from a Russian invasion.

2022
2023
2024

These are years Europe has the Democrats backing NATO Europe. Don't waste these years and not get Europe arms capacity to defeat Russia and get arms industry at max to defeat Russia.
