Zelensky spoke about how Ukraine uses F-16.

Zelensky: Ukraine needs more F-16 fighter jets

President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Ukrainian F-16 fighter jets successfully destroyed 7 missiles that were used by Russia to attack Ukraine. He also noted that Ukraine needs more of these jets, but currently they are only available in the United States.

In his address, Zelensky also emphasized the effectiveness of Patriot systems, but pointed out that Ukraine needs more such systems, and this depends on the political will of partners.

It was previously stated that to achieve parity with Russia in the airspace, Ukraine needs to have at least 200 F-16 fighter jets. After successfully completing language training, Ukrainian pilots will begin training on these jets.

It was also announced that Denmark will transfer another batch of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine by the end of the year. According to The New York Times, Ukraine will be able to use no more than 10 such jets on the battlefield until 2024.
