❗️🇺🇸🇺🇦 "The NSC looked at the proposal for sending civilian contractors into Ukraine to maintain F-16s [...] but deemed it too risky [...]. Instead, the hope is that European countries will take on more—and perhaps all—of the responsibility for maintaining the F-16s." WHAT!?

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Lockheed has not yet been contracted by the DoD to help sustain Ukraine's F-16s. They say they could support the training of additional Ukrainian pilots at their new 🇷🇴 facility, and maintenance in 🇵🇱, but haven't been asked. Zero sense of urgency. 🤦♂️ Via @audrey_decker9
