Russian invasion of Ukraine

For sure.
It was a matter of time anyway when russian made Ukrainian jets are to be replaced - and the best option bottom line are F16s as it seems.

That operation needed some preparation and the politicians had to make their dance for the media...
As we keep being told about tanks, it's not just a matter of training personnel to use the equipment, there is the maintenance crew to train which takes far longer

A large support structure is needed for maintenance, re supply, fuel etc etc. Each tank needs to be taken out of service for gun barrel replacement/ service. A huge commitment.
 
Kremlin threatening catastrophic consequences if Ukraine receive fighter jets.

I'd say it's the invaders who will face those

One often has to read Russian communications for the deeper underlying meaning and reason as to why they make it, rather than the specific message attached. I read this message as "we are very worried about Ukraine getting F16's"
