Part of me wonders if Biden okay'd striking Russian equipment inside Russia so they can widdle down Russian AA before the F16s get delivered. IMO it'd be a bad look having all the F16s getting shot down in a few weeks.

It will be a factor for sure. But the brazenness with which Russians would concentrate their troops just inside Russia with ammo stockpiles and zero to no opsec needed to be addressed. At the same time this dramatically increased the length of the front line for Russia.
