The first F-16 fighter jets are already in Ukraine - Bloomberg

The first batch of F-16 fighters from allies has already arrived in Ukraine. This information comes from anonymous sources at Bloomberg.

The preliminary final deadline for receiving the American military aircraft was the end of this month — and it has been met. According to individuals familiar with the matter, the number of aircraft is small.

Sources indicate that it is unclear whether the Ukrainian pilots, who have been training abroad in recent months, will be able to operate them immediately, or if the process will take longer.

Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesperson Diana Davityan declined to comment to the publication.
