The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, reported that F-16 fighters successfully intercepted seven cruise missiles aimed at civilian targets two nights ago. This was stated by the Ukrainian President in an interview with the British television channel Sky News, as reported by UNN.
According to the President, despite the limited number of F-16 fighters currently possessed by Ukraine, their effectiveness in countering Russian aerial threats is high.
Recall that
The Netherlands has officially bid farewell to the F-16 after 45 years of service. The last 14 fighters will be transferred to Ukraine, while 18 are being used to train Ukrainian pilots in Romania.
