Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said that by the end of this year Ukraine will receive another batch of F-16 fighters from Denmark.

According to Ukrinform, this was reported by DW with reference to the Danish news agency Ritzau.

“Denmark will supply an additional number of F-16 aircraft in the second half of 2024,” the Danish Defense Minister said.

Poulsen did not specify the number or specific terms of delivery of the aircraft due to the need for “operational security”.
