  1. They're a long way from using F-16s in close air support at the front. They can, however, be used as airborne launch systems for stand-off attacks against Russian logistics and infrastructure. That's my low-info take. I know nothing about their usefulness against missile attacks.

  2.  @hyhhy  It now looks like Russia's bypassing and isolating these strongholds. I think their air defenses are better, and they're able to shift mechanized forces back and forth along the front lines faster than the Ukrainians can shift theirs in response. I don't think the Ukrainians have the reserves to defend the entire 1000-km front, in strength, and the Russians keep shifting their attacks, and probing. I agree that the Russians aren't interested in conquering Ukraine. I think they will not go much beyond the Russian-speaking areas, and only to reach more defensible topography, at which point, they'll dig in and entertain offers from Ukraine and the West, but they will not be trusting a piece of paper from either one.
