We (Denmark) are getting F35 now, so I'm guessing some of those F16 were to be phased out anyway.
Also we have made an arrangement with Sweden, Norway and Finland creating a mutual airforce. Having the aid of Sweden alone, more than compensates, they have several times more fighter jets than we have.

These F16's are much more worth to Ukraine than they are to us.
