The US has given the green light for a coalition to transfer F-16 combat aircraft to Ukraine to replace its fleet of MiGs and Sukhoi jets. The UK and other nations have said they are ready to offer pilot training. The new F-16s could be a turning point in the air battle since they have modern radar and avionics and a highly capable electronic warfare suite. They are a multi-role fighter and would be able to carry the most modern and capable western weapons. Currently, the majority of equipment offered to Ukraine has been about holding the line or stopping endless missile salvos aimed at cities and civilians.
