Yeah, F16 needs a perfect runway, it can't use the same runways as the MIGs so Ukraine is going to have to do up a few of their runways so Ukraine will also likely need that runway filled to the brim with air defence, including more Patriots as there are Russian missiles that only Patriot can intercept, otherwise the F16s and the runways will be destroyed, even if the F16 is safe but the runway is damaged, it might be too dangerous to take off for the F16 (but not for a MIG). Gripen will probably be sent either way.

Ukraine's juggling of multiple different equipment is seriously impressive and doesn't get enough credit, take the tanks for example, they're having to work between Leopard 1, Leopard 2, Abrams, Challenger 2s, T-Series, etc. The logistics are likely an absolute nightmare and would be even for a country like America. Ukraine is probably going to be balancing between Gripen, F16 and MIGs next.
