President Donald Trump's recent pause in US military aid to Ukraine raises concerns about the future of the F-16 fighter jets, which have been crucial in defending against Russian attacks. Though Europe possesses similar jets, the scarcity and complexities in switching aircraft could hinder Ukraine's defense efforts. Since their arrival, F-16s have proven effective, but their insufficient numbers and potential US restrictions on spare parts could lead to operational challenges, emphasizing the need for a consistent supply of military support from allies.
