Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen maybe Denmark will give their F-16'ings to Ukraine... in the meantime... the US should approve & send some.
"Denmark is starting the training of Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets as Kyiv inches closer to promises of Western-made planes for its war effort.

It's as though a version of the " Battle of Britain" is playing out again. . The Ukraine is a mix of modern warfare with accents of prior WWII circumstances / Events happening in Real time.

They've adapted well to western weapons so far, but this is still in TBD territory.
