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.
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.
