Ukraine, this is a better option than the F-16 or F/18 because it can operate from very austere facilities, like roads. Its engine intake isn’t a FOD scoop and a petrol bowser, truck with ordnance, and another of common spares plus 6 men/women can support it in the field. Plus, it is a nasty bogey when flown by a competent pilot.
