Syrskyi announced when the results of the F-16 crash investigation will be ready.

The results of the investigation into the F-16 plane crash will be known approximately in the near future. Although the tragedy occurred, the effectiveness of these aircraft has been proven. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi in an interview with CNN.

Syrskyi emphasized that the F-16 pilots were well-trained. They underwent training in Kyiv's ally institutions, and overall, the best pilots with existing experience using these aircraft were selected.

He reminded that a special commission of the Ministry of Defense is conducting an investigation into the F-16 plane crash, and it is expected that the results will be known soon.

«I think that the results of the investigation will be known to everyone soon. And on the one hand, we are not going to hide this, and on the other hand, the effectiveness of these aircraft has been proven by the results - the destruction of four cruise missiles by a pair of F-16s, so this will undoubtedly strengthen our defense capability, primarily in fighting enemy cruise missiles.», added Syrskyi.
