The problem is-
The F-16s will need to be fitted with Sidewinders (AIM-9) heat seeking missiles that are limited range like up to 12-15 miles. That means they will get shot at from a Russian SU-27 from about 100 and up to 200 miles away.
So to protect the F-16s they will need active ECM, and a way to keep Russian fighters away from the battle zone. So now you need to fit the F-16s with ECM pods and AMRAAM missiles, the AIM-120D can go 85 miles or so.

So whats to keep the Ukrainians from launching 60 miles from the border to hit a Russian 20 miles across the border while the ECM pods blind Ruskie radar screens?

The "promise" to not use US equipment against Russian territory is a BS argument. We fully expect cross border ops with US tech.
And Biden will say- hey they promised us!
And Ukies will say it was in the heat of the moment-fog of war blah blah blah.
And Russia will say Nyet and destroy every airfield and airplane in Ukraine with hypersonics , killing a few NATO sided contractors and it just gets uglier after that.
