    Those dates are a little unfair, the su34 is basically two decades older, but got put on Ice. And the newer models F16 are a huge leap up from the original 70s model.

      It’s not like the Ukrainians are getting new block 70s. Thery’re almost certainly old block 40s on the verge of retirement.

        True, but the MLU/block 50 version is also from the mid to late 90s.

      I’m more interested in knowing how Lauren Phillips feels about being an F-16 in this meme.

        I’m sure she’s flattered as a true patriot. I know she is. I’ve seen her in patriotic wear.

        Not, like, a LOT of patriotic wear by square inches. But enough.

      Also very relevant is the missiles in use. Those certainly are not from the 70s.
