If the entire rest of the war is anything to go by, I expect we're about to see Ukraine working out exactly what condition of surface an F-16 is capable of taking off from

And also what kind of unconventional way their capabilities can be leveraged. A nice 1 - 2 punch combined with patriot or something.

It will be interesting to see.
