What is going on with the F16 and other airforce jets/helicopters??? This has become total nonsense considering the basic military tactic that has been discussed, having air superiority to conduct operations.

The US and it's partners really dropped the ball in this regard and have not operated in the speed in which it was required. Countless deaths, lost ground, loss of top tier pilots and more have occurred while dithering. It was more than a year ago there was hope that a deal would be announced.

Fast forward to 2024 and there is "hope" that a few jet's MAY arrive by the middle of summer. Why the delays when western military officials have routinely said that they would never conduct offensive operations without having the level of air support required?? Doing offensive operations without air support leads to mass casualties, loss of equipment and ground, exactly what has occurred for the good guys!
