Don't the Aussies have a few?
Mind you that they are F18 A/B, and that Canada already bought 20ish that were supposedly the pick of the lot and still in pretty bad shape, but yes they have about 40 of them.
Spares are a problem all around for these planes and Canada mainly bought them to scavenge for parts to keep our own ancient F18’s going till F35 arrives.
I don’t doubt Ukrainian ability to adapt and make the best of things, but I’d rather give them more F16 since spares are not an issue.
