Even the F16 Viper︍ carries the same AMRAAM missiles as the Nasams ( they won't get the d version︎ ) . It would be in range of Russian ad before it would could engage️ any su's dropping fabs.
UMPK glide bombs range about 70km depending on the size of the bomb . This is figure is probably outdated as the range is longer due an upgrade in the glide kit .

AIM-120C which most likely Ukraine will get has a range of 105–120 km .
The F16 viper would definitely be in range for any s-300 family ad .
It would be also in range of any Fighter jet equipped with R-77 missiles .
So F16 wouldn't change much .
It would be a nice addition as they don't need to refit their Sukhoi's and Migs for Nato︀ missile systems .
But they wouldn't change much as Storm shadows etc.. will be now︁ fired from f16s .
It will ease the logistics but it's definitely not close to︂ an "GameChanger".
And also the 3:1 ratio doesn't apply for manpower it's regarding firepower .︃
You clearly have a misconception of infantry . Infantry aren't standing in field waiting for︄ fabs to be dropped on them , they utilize cover(Soviet apartment buildings etc..) and move︅ in small groups .

You can read more reports about the current Ukrainian︆ manpower shortage but they will have the same content . Low staffed units etc..
Russian recruitment:

Of course does the method of recruiting demonstrate a manpower crisis . In︇ the beginning you had an abundance of volunteers , but nowadays there are none .︈ The TZK wasn't out kidnapping people in the first 1-2 years . It only changed︉ since the last Year .
