A lot of old Soviet tanks got blown up, yeah.

That's not the reason, Romania got tons of them and their aviation infrastructure is far less developed than ours (we've had an air force/air corps since WW1 and even achieved air supremacy during the Franco-Thai War).
The real reason is America knows we hold exercises with China and doesn't want F-35s potentially involved. Even though Singapore already sold out their F-35s to Beijing years ago.
