“But weren’t F-16s a no go for putin? Weren’t they a trigger for nukes?”

According to former Russian president and Prime Minister, and current deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, Russia will use nukes for far less than that. But, of course, he is known for bluster and bravado, as are most Russian politicians, as well as Russian government spokespersons in the media.
