That's not a lot of F-16s, and we have plenty to spare.

120 is a lot.

Australia has less than 20 F18 and like 60 F35s, to cover the whole country, which is 13 times bigger than Ukraine.

Yer we fucked if someone invades lol.

In the context of total supplies it's not that much, more than 4,450 F-16s have been delivered worldwide as of 2010. As of 2023, the USAF operates a total of 841 F-16s of different variants. European allies likely have hundreds in total. I think your navy is more important than your air force considering your natural barrier, Lol. But Australia has AUKUS so nobody will threaten you. Honestly no single country could nowadays take on a nuclear power alone, that's why we have NATO and security partnerships.
