Based on training time, high maintenence, incredible high costs, and Russian anti-air capabilities, it probably isn't worth letting the Russian get a hold of our fighter jet technology. Stock of old MIGs should have been sent to Ukraine already. Advance drones and long range rockets would be the next step.

@pogo1140 Poland transfered their MIGs to a NATO base in Germany to be transferred to Ukraine, but nothing came out of it. There aren't any dog fights in Ukraine. Russia won't risk their jets by flying over Ukraine airspace. Airpower would be best for combine arms, but the amount training that would take in a new western jet isn't realistic. Russian are also perfectly capable of easily shooting down a f16. Longer range HIMAR missles and cheaper, advance drones would be smarter.

@pogo1140 Flying and bombing a fixed target is relatively easy (and a task easily preformed by HIMARS). Combined arms fighting takes significantly more training. Russian pilots still can't combined arms fighting it due to having less training than NATO counterparts. It isn't realistic to expect a crash course to make Ukraine a NATO equivalent air force. There are smarter, less flashy ways to give Ukrainian a sustainable military advantage over Russia.
