This is so incredibly huge for Ukraine. Think about it, Ukraine now has a chance in the sky. They can actually go on the offensive instead of just shooting things down.

Never forget. I still blame Rutte for not sending over Marines immediately to secure the crash site. But indeed, revenge is best served hot.

What the fuck did I miss?

The Netherlands blames Russia for shooting down commercial flight MH17. (Rightly so) Almost 300 people died, mostly Dutch. So the Dutch giving their F16 planes including training etc. to Ukraine to shoot down Russian planes seems fitting.

Proof of concept seems solid.
F-35s when?

The F16 is more useful to Ukraine at the moment. Until Ukraine is approved to engage in deep strikes on Russia, that will probably remain the case.
The F16 is faster, more maneuverable, and cheaper(including maintenance), vs the F35.
