Thanks for the prediction re the survivability of the F-16s though. That’s a firm prediction we can easily evaluate a month after they are confirmed to be in active service in Ukraine.
I’m more than happy to have my speculation held against event when they come to pass. It’s the crux of my argument that Ukrainian conscripts are mere fodder on the front line for a regime out of ideas.

I doubt any F-16s will be airborne in combat under the Zelensky regime for more than mere hours but I feel that’s splitting hairs for now.

I’m not quite sure why 1991 borders have more value than say, 1946 other than for academic reasons.
