You can't imagine how incredibly complex a military Aircraft is. There are requirements for aircraft fuels, oils etc for which you need access , as well a special tools, weapons. The computer systems need updates re targets etc. You need runways , maintenance mechanics and more. They might get them off the ground one time but they wouldn't be sustainable.
