    16

The F-16 is a fourth-generation multirole fighter jet developed in the United States by General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin). It is renowned for its maneuverability, relatively low operating costs, and capability to perform various combat roles, including air-to-air combat, ground strikes, and reconnaissance missions.

In August 2024, Ukraine received its first F-16 fighter jets from international partners, notably Denmark and the Netherlands. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed their arrival, stating that this marks a new chapter in the development of the Ukrainian Air Force. The integration of F-16s significantly enhances the country's defense capabilities, enabling more effective countermeasures against aerial threats and providing support for ground operations.

This section provides news and analysis on the F-16, its technical specifications, combat capabilities, and potential deployment in Ukraine.
