Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: with Ukraine receiving F-16 fighters, there will be more downed missiles and planes
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi stated that with Ukraine receiving F-16 fighters, Ukrainian Air Force pilots will be able to shoot down significantly more Russian missiles and planes.
"F-16s in Ukraine. This means that there will be more destroyed occupiers. There will be more downed missiles and planes with which Russian criminals attack Ukrainian cities," stressed Syrskyi.
The Commander-in-Chief thanked the allies for this decision.
"After all, first and foremost, the effective use of modern aircraft means saving the lives of Ukrainian service members," emphasized Syrskyi.
The Commander-in-Chief also thanked everyone who worked to make these fighters appear in the skies of Ukraine.
