Ukraine has lost another F-16 fighter.
On the night of Friday, May 16, about 3.30, it was lost for the F-16 aircraft, which fulfilled the task of reflecting the Russian air attack. It is known that the pilot destroyed three air purposes and worked on the fourth using an aviation gun. However, there was an emergency on board. The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces reported this in a telegram.
It is noted that the pilot managed to pick up the plane from the settlement and successfully catapult. The pilots have already been found and evacuated. His well is satisfactory, but he is in a safe place.
All circumstances of the loss of the aircraft will be determined by the commission, which has already begun work.
We recall that in August 2024, the Ukrainian command announced the loss of the F-16 fighter and announced the death of the pilot Alexei Mesi.
And in 2025, the F-16 F-16 pilot F-16 Pavel Ivanov, who completed the combat mission, was killed. The circumstances of the tragedy should be established by the interdepartmental commission.
