Original Note:
The wording of this post is misleading. NATO is not deploying F-16s, as that would suggest they were being operated by NATO personnel. The F-16s are being delivered to Ukraine for use by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who have been training on the platform for months. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/netherlands-deliver-18-f-16-fighter-jets-ukraine-2023-12-22/ https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-open-f16-training-center-ukraine-pilot/
