Ukrainian General Staff: F-16 Fighter Transferred to Ukraine Crashed

Reports revealed that the US-made F-16 crashed during an air battle, leading to the death of the pilot. A commission is set to determine the crash’s causes.

“During an air battle, the F-16 aircraft demonstrated their high efficiency, four cruise missiles were shot down by on-board weapons… During the approach to the next target, communication was lost with one of the aircraft. As it turned out later, the plane crashed, the pilot was killed,” the Ukrainian General Staff said.

Since Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, Western countries have increased military aid. However, Russian officials warn against further weapon deliveries to Ukraine.
