The second batch of F-16s from Denmark arrived in Ukraine.
This is the leadership in protecting life that distinguishes Denmark,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on December 7.
He added that the planes provided by the Danes from the first batch are already shooting down Russian missiles and saving Ukrainians and infrastructure.
If all partners were so decisive, it would already be possible to make Russian terror impossible. Matte, thank you, your team and all the Danish people! – the president wrote on his social networks to Matt Frederiksen, the head of the Danish government.
In total, Denmark promised Ukraine 19 fighter jets.
On November 28, F-16 fighter jets destroyed seven cruise missiles that Russia used to attack Ukraine. The head of state spoke about this in a conversation with Sky News.
Let’s talk about the F-16. There were fears that this would drag NATO into war. It was the same about HIMARS, then about the F-16 – the decision was made, but very late. How are F-16s being tested in Ukraine today? Great, very good. We have few F-16s, but they have already done a lot – they destroyed seven cruise missiles just two nights ago. Missiles aimed at our infrastructure,” the president said.
