Comment on US Ends Support for Ukrainian F-16s, But French Mirages Will Be Salvation – Forbes

I wonder if Ukraine’s European allies (France, the UK, and such) could provide non-US replacements for the EW pods, and whether hacking those into a F-16 would be harder than getting a Soviet-era MiG to fire NATO missiles (which Ukraine successfully did before it got the F-16s). If that would be doable, it’d be cheaper than replacing the F-16s

i’m sure they’re already working at it. Ukrainian hardware hackers are also something else, and are currently highly motivated. i don’t think the f-16s are going to be back fully operational immediately, but i think people will be surprised how soon they’re scrambled again
