It's hard to imagine Ukraine breaking through those entrenchments though. They are going to attract a lot of aggression there.

So that 1200-mile border is a problem for Russia to defend as well as Ukraine.

Ukraine may or may not be able to use the F-16's as air support there. There are restrictions inside Russia, and they'll have to thread the needle. But they will be damn hard to repel with air superiority.
