#1 Considering this is a Russian source, I'm not gonna put too much faith in it as it is just factually wrong.

Norway bought 74 F-16A/B which are a 1983/85 version and 53 were upgraded to the Block 10 standard with two replacements ordered around the mid 80s. The ones that weren't upgraded are trainers or spare parts and not combat worthy. So Ukraine is getting the same variant the other NATO nations are giving. The same F-16 that flew in Desert Storm.
Wheeeee.
