Ukrainian pilots, despite the technical advantage of the Russians in aviation, have an advantage in morale and skill, and with flying F-16 fighters, they will not leave the enemy a single chance in the Ukrainian sky.

“Heroic Ukrainian pilots. I am grateful to each and every one of them! Although the enemy still has a significant technical advantage in aviation, our pilots have had a clear advantage in morale and skill since the first day of the full-scale war! They are saving Ukrainians from Russian terror with bombs, missiles and killer drones. With Ukrainian pilots flying F-16s, freedom will become irresistible, and the terrorist state will not have a chance in our skies,” President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky posted on Telegram.

He also published a short video authored by United24 about the work of Ukrainian aviation in the conditions of the full-scale war and the urgent need to obtain F-16s.

As reported, Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov stated that specific commitments of the Allies regarding the organization of specialized training for Ukrainian pilots on F-16 aircraft, which will pave the way for the future delivery of these aircraft to Ukraine, were reached during the NATO-Ukraine Commission meeting.
