Ukraine will be able to use Danish and Dutch F-16s to strike into Russia, while Belgium is saying only for use in 1991-border Ukraine.

Well they’ve been flying Su-24s, and the F-16s certainly shouldn’t be any less capable than those for this sort of thing
Can Ukraine use stormshadows within Russia?
The UK okayed it a couple of weeks ago, France this week
Oh, that I’m not sure of. I misunderstood what you were asking, sorry about that
While I don’t know about actual jets launching munitions over Russian airspace, Ukraine did successfully hit a Shahed drone factory over 1,000 km from the Russia-Ukraine border with what appears to have been one of these light aircraft converted to be unmanned. So Russia’s air defence is definitely not impenetrable.
Got it. I am aware of Ukraine striking deep into Russia but it has always been with their own tools.
But back original all premises, I still doubt Ukraine would risk f16 getting that close to Russian air defense.
Western missile are perfect for the job. Now that UK and fr on board, US must also approve and deliver a large batch for the party.
Great opportunity to disrupt Russian ops near kharkiv IMHO and retaliate for NK missiles used there.
