I hope the pilots have been training in secret for a while now, must be tough to pilot effectively

Yeah I kinda hope/suspect that training and procurement has actually been going on sooner than they say. Might be wishful thinking, but it would be awesome if F16s show up on the battlefield early and catch the Russians totally off guard
