Russia-Ukraine War LIVE: Putin warns Ukraine of attacking its new F-16 fighter jets soon | WION LIVE
The first batch of long-awaited F-16 jets have arrived in Ukraine, Lithuania’s foreign minister and a US official confirmed, an effort Kyiv has said will help rebuild its depleted air force. F-16s, built by Lockheed Martin, have been on Ukraine’s wish list for a long time because of their destructive power and global availability. The F-16 specializes in suppressing enemy air defences. The West had hesitantly moved towards to provide the jets after concerns that arming Ukraine with advanced weaponry would further escalate the war with Russia. However, NATO members Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway agreed to donate a total of 50 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. Meanwhile, The U.S. has been training Ukrainian pilots on how to fly the jets and has already graduated the first group of pilots on its operation.
