Trump Admin Cuts Off Crucial F-16 Jamming Support: Ukraine's Response

The Trump administration cut off vital support for the jamming capabilities of Ukraine's F-16 fighter jets, jeopardizing a critical air countermeasure. However, Ukraine isn't defenseless. They can leverage the jamming capabilities of French Dassault Mirage 2000 fighters, along with promised upgrades to their electronic warfare systems, to compensate for the American shortfall. While not a long-term solution, it buys Ukraine valuable time until more sustainable alternatives can be found.
