@BrynnTannehill74 i have a dumb question for you. Why is our (USA’s) air force not sprucing up F-16s to send to Ukraine? Is it because there just aren’t enough Ukrainian pilots trained to fly them? Why are the Danes, the Dutch, and the Norwegians the only ones to pledge/share so far?

Okay, @BrynnTannehill74 , next Ukraine question -- Why in the heck has the USA *not* offered up F-16s to Ukraine? Don't we have hundreds & hundreds of them that we could donate? Or, is the problem that all of our F-16s would need to be de-modernized to be exportable to a war zone where Russia could exploit shot down planes?
So, @BrynnTannehill74 , is it probable that these long, long distance shootdowns of A-50s and other Russian jets have been accomplished via Patriots, even though I've read that these shootdowns have occurred "outside of Patriot range" ? What I've heard for years is "public specs for speed/range/et cetera for X weapons system is conservative," meaning that the patriot range might be far further than publicly stated. Thank you for your time.

PwnallthethingsIf you're still on the birbsite and have your handle in your name or bio, this is probably your last week there.
You're now in violation of their policy, and the policy explicitly says that your account will be suspended until you remove them, and all tweets referencing your handle on this or other platforms.
So make use of it. Remind everyone you've left, and help the last few folks leave while it's still possible for them to use automated tools to do it
