Send jets and then what? Logistics is a thing. They will need maintenance, ammo, pilots. You can't just give them away without the recipient having a way to deal with everything that comes with it.
Johnson is such slimy bastard who will say anything to appeal to the masses.

I think it's more that he simply doesn't / cannot handle details: BJ is headlines kind of guy.
Details like pilots, ammo, maintenance are boring "details for the backroom boffins". One reason Brexit remains a mess: he couldn't get his head round all the complexities. Not a trait you want in a PM 🤦♂️

I believe they also have 100 Typhoon jets, even if a handful of them are in working order is still directs the heat at the UK breaking the taboo so others can send theirs.
