Every new weapon system promised by the West is heralded as a "game changer" and yet.... nothing much changes. This is because the systems actually sent are always far too few in number (really, 130 MBTs across a 2,000km front?) and far, far too late (those MBTs would have been very helpful in June 2022 but were useless in June 2023). So expecting a tiny handful of old F-16s to make any meaningful difference is like expecting Santa Claus to visit Putin and put him on the naughty step.
