Easy: avaiability, in every sense. There are many, many more F-16 in service to draw from. As are more operators, making training easier. And maitennace, everything from spqres to sites to people, is much easier to come by at scale for F-16s.
All of the above under the caveat of needing it now.
- smcl 3y agoAh yeah I only just looked at its wiki page now, there's about 150-ish in total and under 30 in Central Europe (14 in ČR, 14 in Hungary - suspect the latter wouldn't be too keen to help out Ukraine). Edit: wow apparently as-of 2010 there were around 4,500 F-16 delivered around the world.
