Ukraine can’t exactly use 2000lb bombs very often, given the strength and depth of Russian air defence, but it has great use for ‘decades old mortars’.
Ukraine has recieved plenty of shit that wasn’t for export or came directly from US Army stockpiles. ATACMS is a good example of this.

They could if they directly got some free F35’s with it like israel has. Instead it took two years to get them a few old F16’s.
If it takes 3-6 months to train ukrainian pilots to fly f-16 it would take a lot longer to train them on F-35.
Israel is a partner nation in the F-35 program, are you sure they got them “for free”?
You should look up how much free money America gives israel every single year. They got way more than that and all for free.
