The previous batch of American fighters F-16 was erected by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in February 2025.
Recall that on May 16, Ukraine lost another F-16 fighter, who fulfilled the task of reflecting the Russian air attack.
Also in 2025, the F-16 pilot Pavel Ivanov, who fulfilled the combat mission, was killed. The circumstances of the tragedy should be established by the interdepartmental commission.
