No these F-16's where well maintained and all in Block 50/52.
But let me give you a little hint.
For example you know there was discussions about giving Swedish JAS 39 Gripen fighters, Ukrainian pilots was actually sent to Sweden last year and spent time at one of the Air Force bases.
To become a Gripne fighter in Sweden it takes 6.5 yrs of training and education, that is the timeline they have to secure a basic Gripen fighter. Now, with Ukrainian MIG pilots just let us say for the hell of it that we can cut 2 yrs since they are already pilots in a different air frame/ fighter, that means they still need a good 4½ yrs training. Also note that during the lifespan of Gripen only 8 crashes have happen, but here is the kicker, 2 was prototypes so before production, 2 was crashed with the Hungarian Air Force ( do not know how long their training is ) 1 the Thai Air Force crashed and finally 1 was burnt down on the ground during an engine test so no real "crash". So that means within the Swedish Air Force in 28 yrs there is only been 2 real crashes. One crash was in a training exercise in 1999 during a dog fight. The other crash was in 2005 when a pilot stalled during an exercise also in a dogfight.
I'm pretty sure that s 1 year training on the F-16 will not be sufficient to become a safe F-16 pilot, not saying they are bad pilots but this is not like jumping in to a Volvo from a Chevrolet or a Ford, this is a totally different thing.
These planes was in service and maintained just before Ukraine got them, they were supposed to be active until these other countries got their F-35's so no they were not in a scrap yard.
