NEW: F-16s to #Ukraine "will take several months at best" @SecAFOfficial Frank Kendall tells reporters at @GWUPMNS

"A lot of details are gonna have to be sorted out to get us between here & there"
"It will give the #Ukrainians an interim capability they don't have right now, but it's not going to be a dramatic game changer" per @SecAFOfficial Kendall
"Airpower has not been a decisive factor so far" in #Russia-#Ukraine, per @SecAFOfficial Kendall

"The F-16s are going to help the Ukrainians but it's not going to fundamentally change that equation"
On providing F-16s to #Ukraine, "we could certainly have started earlier but there were much higher priorities" per @SecAFOfficial Kendall

But "I think we're at a reasonable point to make that decision now...I think we have to start thinking forward to the longer term"

"They have a very aggressive intelligence collection program" @SecAFOfficial Frank Kendall tells reporters at @GWUPMNS

But he adds the spy balloons "are a very small part of that & not highly consequential"
What does worry @usairforce about #China's surveillance capabilities?

"The space part of it" per @SecAFOfficial Kendall "...is very significant & very consequential"
"A big part of that [#China's] operational capability is surveillance, reconnaissance, targeting" per @SecAFOfficial Kendall

"Their use of space to do things like try to target aircraft carriers, trying to target mobile units, ground units of various types"
