Denmark has decided to decomission its entire fleet of f-16s and is distrusting some to Argentina, but ukraine will get 19 which is very generous. Greece is also getting rid of its f-16s and ukraine could get around 30, as well as a couple dozen Mirage 2000s from France.

In a bit of commentary, I would like for Ukraine to get a light fighter like the Gripen, but that seems improbable unless Sweden or Hungary ( that ain't happening) gives away its planes. Would anyone know if this Mirage 2000 plane is a light fighter? Something like that would be far easier to maintain and many light fighters can even take off from a highway if need be. The Russians will be sending missles to the runways once these planes are flying so flexibility would be appreciated.
