Written by Edda Bevilacqua

Ukraine has finally begun using F-16 jets, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, ending a long wait to boost its defense against Russia’s invasion. Zelenskyy posted on X: “We are now in a phase of development for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We have done a lot to transition the Ukrainian Air Force to a new aviation standard-Western Combat Aviation.

Zelenskyy said Ukraine still needs more F-16s and more pilots trained to use them. He stated, “The positive thing is that we are expecting additional F-16s-many guys are now training.”
