The issue with f-16 isn't just training pilots (thought that is another issue) but maintaince and repair for the jets, it isn't something that can be learned within a few months and could take a few years with working experience on them before you could effectively work on them especially in a war zone where getting the parts you need could be hard due to logistics.

Yeah once they've secretly trained enough pilots under the guise of other training programs.
