arrive and have been trained, does this establish the air superiority that the ukrainians have said for more than a year they have needed? yes, victor. this goes a long way in doing that. that will quadruple the size of their high performance air fleet. it s a big deal operationally. politically, it s a hugely important message. it shows the danes and dutch have recognized that the ukrainians you are fighting for the defense of all of europe. we all need to recognize this. i think that the united states should follow this example from the dutch and the danes and we should pony up-some of our f-16s as well. we have over a thousand f-16s and we should be able to provide at least 50 or 60 to help them because they are going to absolutely nthis if they want t conduct a successful counteroffensive. they need air coverage. they don t have that. they are trying to root out
200,000 russians dug in now for over a year. a very, very difficult thing to do. so they need air coverage. they need air superiority. the f-16s will operationally give them that once they have been trained. there were a number of lawmakers who had been calling on the u.s. to say, all right, you re not agreeing to give the f-16s yet but at least start the pilot training because it takes about four months at least, right? and now we need four more months until they can use them. at least that. general hecker, the commander of air forces in europe, said it would take four, five years able to get them to do all the things they want do. it s one thing to learn how to fly an aircraft. it s another flying combat, with people shooting missiles at you, trying to shoot you counsel. i am thinking eight or ten months. may thoughts are we could use
