You could even say they are Among Us

Plenty more about to be delivered too. Eg. the first Belgian F35 rolled off the production line last week. Poland’s set to start receiving theirs sometime next year.

That’s the interesting thing about Ukraine. Putin’s clearly delaying in the hopes of a Trump win and set his hope on attrition and numbers, but at the same time a lot of EU countries are going to have F16s they want to get rid of soon. Perhaps that’s why the Russians have been threatening countries like Romania, trying to dissuade them from offering logistic support to Ukrainian F16s.

Should be interesting.

Bit of a tangent, but given that the F35 will replace the F16 as a nuclear bomber for the Netherlands and Belgium, and the Germans are replacing their tornados for the same reason, I wonder if Poland might at one point become part of the nuclear sharing agreement with the US. They’ll have the planes to drop them. Kinda makes sense with Kaliningrad being a thing.
