US Ends Support For Ukrainian F-16s
You did read the article saying the US is not supplying "software updates" to the F16s and the planes themselves fly just fine, right?

I think the comment is in reaction to the F35 ones above it. Without activated software, these are bricks.
And no country wants to wake up to a set of bricks when they
really
need warplanes all of a sudden.

A plane without up to date countermeasures is not fit for purpose. They will be ineffective or even unusable in weeks.
