But that doesn't explain the ICBM threat, that threat has been there since the 1960s nothing about the current strategy has changed or been changed due to Ukraine,
The counter to some country launching ICBMS will involve other countries also launching their Own ICBMs in return,
We're not talking about an over hyped ballistic missile that's being the topic of numerous posts claiming it's an unstoppable super weapon, when it was repeatedly shown as nothing more than a Standard ballistic missile dropped from an aircraft,

Tell me who's giving them f16s then considering no nato or eu countries had said that they are planning or willing to them F16s, this was the case early in the year when the UK said they were looking to see what jets they could give them to ok we're not sending any jets to Ukraine but we will train them at our flight schools, so as it stands they will learn on either hawk trainers or typhoons which aren't F16s and they won't send typhoons because it would weaken their own defense capabilities.
We're hearing about training but zero commitments to send Western Jets,we had this previously with the secret A10 training program for Ukrainian pilots, which to turned out to be a Ukrainan business man flying lads to Vegas to fly on gaming PCs

Nobody is getting f22s either America only and thats due to be replaced soon,I think you mean F35s it's likely looking that way,but even at that most countries will keep F16s even with F35s because the f16 is a pure fighter jet extremely effective in the dog fighting role , while F35 is an amazing Aircraft and only getting better,in the current climate the f16 has an edge even though Its moved to a more multirole strike aircraft over the years ,

Claims of Ukrainans will only receive 12 +weeks of training on western aircraft,it currently takes 12 months+ to qualify on western Aircraft such as F16s and F18s
What they should be focused on is making their mig 29s and su30 more lethal with Western style weapons,the current tactics for 2 Ukrainian aircraft is to fly low and pop up to fire unguided rockets before turning fast and returning to base ,
The moment any Aircraft flys at altitude they will be targeted by Anti aircraft missles,

I've seen some great Videos of them doing truck and bus Tyre repairs and retreading with the most basic of hand tools, tyres with steel wire exposed and repaired and back on a heavy truck at a roadside, when normal joes here in the west would have binned the tyre and charged a fortune to replace all 4

You still have to learn every detail about the aircraft, from the basics of Flight to everything else from emergency procedures to weapons systems,
There is a reason it takes so long to qualify on western aircraft, and that's before you even look at the maintenance and spare supplies that have to be in place along with any necessary infrastructure needed too ,that all has to happen long before anyone set foot inside a cockpit,
I think people have a romantaised view on Ukrainian pilots jumping into an aircraft they have never flown, operated and become maverick from top gun
