Nah. They will bring some definate advantages to the Ukes over what they have currently.

The F-16’s they will get have gone through MLU and are the equivalent of C/D block 50/52 variants. Which means they can carry the AIM-120D, AIM-9X, and IRIS-T air-air missiles effectively increasing their engagement radius to 85 miles. They have upgraded radar, flight controls and EW packages and more importantly will be the increase in the ukes air-ground capability as they can carry JSOW, JDAM, glide bombs and best of all a single F-16 can carry two Harpoon anti-ship missiles.

Bye bye Black Sea fleet

I dont understand a word of that, but it kinda got me aroused.
 
This is what happens with escalation, now we can look forward to brinksmanship, misunderstandings and threats. How long until we have the Cuban missile crisis back? Wasn't that fun.

Russia signs deal to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus

Moscow says it will maintain control of the weapons, but Ukraine accuses Russia of taking Minsk ‘hostage’.

Moscow and Minsk have signed a deal to formalise the deployment of Russian tactical nuclear missiles on Belarusian territory.

Russia on Thursday said the step was driven by rising tensions with the West.

“In the context of an extremely sharp escalation of threats on the western borders of Russia and Belarus, a decision was made to take countermeasures in the military-nuclear sphere,” Russia’s state-owned TASS news agency quoted Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu as saying.

Threats are all they have left.

Putin knows it’s game over if they fire a nuke.

You do know Putin started all this don't you? He has massacred innocent people for his Empire Building. Sadly, he over estimated his toys which are beyond decadent. He will make a big mistake and bring financial devastation to his people if he hasn't already.
