Reports said Patriot. Ukraine did recently receive an additional Patriot system from Germany, so maybe it freed one up to be moved closer to the southern front.
That would mean that Russian planes flying from Crimea can be intercepted now.
They probably put an Avenger missile pod on a drone. 😛
I see 3 possible ways.
1. Ukraine is moving patriot around close to the front based on intel of Russian air operations.
2. Ukraine already has F-16
3. AAMRAM has been adapted for Ukrainian aircraft.
Realistically its patriots. Day 1 of having new jets one wouldt expect them to be engaging targets like this…
Either way they got patriot system and new jets… nasams and more missile pledges as well.
The soldiers are real stoked sure. But even more when the US gets their fists unstuck from their A$$holes and approve that 60b funding.
Good this way. The Russians must now see a ghost behind every shadow. Psychology is a beautiful thing.
Well zelensky last night specifically thanked the Netherlands for delivery of f16’s… so Ukraine already received a handful. Could be they paid a surprise visit with dutch amraams. I am not confirming nor denying 
This is great for Ukraine. Keep the jets on the tarmac.
Well it is actually easy answer, as far as i know our military using ambush tactics. They just moving AA’s closer to front in turned off mode. Than when other long range radar register aircraft in hit area of AA. It is turning on , launch rockets and retreats. They use patriot and s 300 also.
Unlikely to be F-16 yet. Doesn’t have to be Patriot, either. Ukraine already has NASAMS which can use ground launched AMRAAM at up to 180km, and the closest regions of the front to Mariupol are roughly 100km distant or less, well within the range of the NASAMS system.
Russian milbloggers claim they were f16s and that they shot down 5 of them….lol. what morons
Our Trolldepartment of the Bundeswehr xed this on 22nd:
Stage 1 trolling would be to indicate it was Patriot.
Stage 2 trolling would be to indicate it was Patriot even they know it was F16 just to confuse the orcs
As long as the chicken egg fuckers think they’ve arrived, they’ll be a new shortage of tampons along the front or rear depending on view

It’s interesting how many bombers were shot down in WWII… about 11,000 and the US just kept sending more.
Russia loses 5 and suspends all activities.
Could be a combination. Patriot radar guiding an F-16 launched missile.
Cigarette smoking sailors and a huge storm in the Black Sea. As always.

Patriot missiles? That was the early reports.
I love that we don’t know.
