Russian SHOCKED!! How F-16 Fighter Jets to Dominate the Sky in Ukraine

As Ukraine faces increased pressure from Russian forces, the arrival of F-16 Fighting Falcons offers a significant boost to Kyiv's air defense capabilities.
The F-16 Fighter Jets were on the list of Western-made military hardware requested by Zelensky, along with tanks, air defense systems, and artillery.

Like bloody hell they will.

The F-16 is a significant upgrade to what Ukriane has today, and they will bring with them some key advantages.
The first and imideately most important is the ability to strike SU-34's delivering glide bombs, which are unreachable today.
Additionally they are fully integrated with western weapons unavailable today, and would also improve the efficiency of the weapons that have bolt on support on the Mig-29's today, making them more adaptable and precise.
This includes a greatly improved SEED/DEED capability.
Would this translate to air dominance? That depends on several factors. Northern and eastern Ukriane is highly contested by SAM, and both sides has greatly reduced operative freedom in the air, and besides the additional range and ability to challenge SAM better, the will likely be less short term changes.
However, in the south, and espessially western Black Sea and Crimea things will be very different. The Black Sea fleet is forced back, SAM sites on Crimea has been attacked and surpressed/destroyed for a while, and Russian airforce has been pushed back. This means Ukriane has a significant chance of establishing some degree of air superiority within reasonable time frames, depending mostly on what remains of Russian airdefence on Crimea.
