Best not get too hung up on timetables, or think about it in terms of the current battlefield situation or the counteroffensive. This is a long term project to transform Ukraine's Air Force into the future, where they're using Western equipment.
We may see the first F-16s next year, but this transformation will take many years.
Yeah this is definitely a case where the best time would have been years ago but the second best time is right now.
