Hm you know that sounds like a good idea...until you realize Ukraine still has planes they have landed and taken off before.
Russia has not destroyed the Ukie Airforce, and it only controls the airspace around its front lines, they do not have total control of Uki airspace in all areas, so they cannot shoot down the F-16's once they cross the boarder.
The amount of burying your head in the sand is amusing
There is no "Ukie Airforce" - just a couple of samples in hiding that gets blown to pieces as soon as it gets airborne. At best its a one way suicide trip.
