F-16s have an incredible range, and can shoot down Russian helicopters from 100km away.
Yeah sure, the F-16s which crash in the rain and that can't handle anything but pristine landing strips will definitely turn the war in Ukraines favor. Good luck with crewing it too lmao.
They have better training, better equipment, better morale, and an iron will.
The country that has exhausted it's reserve battalions and is forcibly drafting men, while preventing these same men from leaving the country, and which has had several reports describing how the troops at the front have basically no training, is somehow better trained and equipped than the Russians? Ukraine, the country that frequently has equipment issues, and which has complained that the Russians are capable of incessantly shelling them, has equipment issues? Ukraine, the country that now saw the need to make use of cluster munitions? That country?
Tell me more of your tactical knowledge oh wise one. Did you study logistics under Albert Kesselring?

That's the F35. The F16 though is outclassed by modern russian jet fighters like SU-27 so it's a moot point. Unless the west is giving F35s it doesn't matter, they're generations old tech that cannot handle S300s let alone S400s and S500s.
The F35 also has issues with rain? I'd be interested in learning more, if you have any good sources.
The F 16 does as well. Or at least as far as I know it does - it's not really my field of expertise, but I hyperfocused on it at one point. They have quite a few crashes as a result of heavy rain. Here's one such story. This forum tracks accidents and mishaps for f-16s as well, and it seems to me as if it handles rain worse than others.
