Urgent Call from Russia - Ukraine Made History Against Russian Jets Only 11 Days with US-made F-16's
In a very short period of time, the Ukrainian Air Force has mastered the use of F-16 fighter jets.
Russian command centers, bridges, arms depots and many other military installations are no longer safe.
Before these fighter jets arrived, the fate of Ukraine was indeed critical.
Before Russia's full-scale invasion, many experts predicted that Ukraine's air force would be instantly destroyed in a war with Russia.
Russia tried to destroy Ukraine's air force at the beginning of the war.
But Russia failed, as Ukraine managed to scatter many jets and keep them intact.
The surviving jets played important roles in its defense, even though the skies are still being fought intensely.
The westernization of Ukraine's air defenses and the expansion of its air force with fighter jets from allies have given Kiev huge advantages in air dominance.
F-16s were the most prominent type in this regard.
Ukraine especially looked forward to the acceptance of F-16 shipments with great anticipation.
For much of the war, the Ukrainian air force was facing one of the largest air forces in the world with a fleet of old Soviet-built fighter jets, while the West was demanding F-16s from the NATO arsenal.
Naturally, this was taking a serious toll on the Ukrainian Air Force.
In the end, Ukraine got what it wanted and added F-16 fighter jets to its air fleet.
Today, F-16s continue to be the main air force assets protecting Ukraine's skies.
In fact, a recent interview with a Ukrainian pilot revealed how Kiev's F-16s have been making history lately, and what successes they have achieved first and foremost.
