Defense Minister: Ukraine’s F-16s to perform combat missions starting next spring
The Air Force of Ukraine will start performing combat missions using the American-made F-16 fighter jets in the spring of 2024. Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov stated this in an interview with Ukrinform. Asked when Ukraine would have the F-16, Minister Reznikov replied:
"I think next year, in the spring. I mean, already in use. Because today we have permission to train, there are countries that have agreed to train, and there are even countries that have already agreed to give us F-16s after the training and infrastructure are completed," he said.

that Ukraine would receive the F-16s "at least in six to seven months." Read more:
