Ukraine is clearly growing in confidence in the air now the F-16’s have started to arrive in numbers. Ukraine scored its first Air Kill, footage is released daily of precision strikes on front line/rear area positions with minimal interference for Russian SAMs. There have also been instances of limited combined ops with airstrikes in advance of ground assaults. A far cry from the early hit and hope attacks by lobbing unguided rockets on a parabolic trajectory from helicopters & SU-25’s. Slava Ukraine!
Norway! 👍🏼
I think Norway operates the F-35 now and have disposed of all the F-16s they had, so these may be the last ones they can offer Ukraine.
Thank you Norway for all the help!!!
If only some country could donate pilots too.
Fantastic!
I’m counting 60 as the number of F16s pledged. Some mirages added and Soviet designed planes, so this is slowly a sizable airforce.
This is quite surprising. Considering Ukraine got 14 F-16s from norway alone, they should have a pretty decent fleet. I imagine many other countries have F-16s just lying around mothballed, and they should be sent straight to Ukraine. If Norway could cough up 8 more in 2024, imagine what other countries could do.
I’m pretty sure these planes were originally sold to the private company Draken in November 2021. It was 12 planes. This deal was cancelled in 2023 by Norway.
It’s speculated that Norway has 8-10 planes left. Some of them are being used for training Ukrainian pilots at the moment.
Let’s go Norway!
This is indeed good news. 😁
Tusen takk Norge! 🥰
Слава Україні!
What job Norway for standing up to democracy.
I love Norway, I’ve been 3 times. I love the country and the people even more now with the support they’re showing Ukraine and recognising the Palestinian people too for that matter. I’m also proud of my homeland of Britain for showing Ukraine the support they have, but not the support of Isreal. This I cannot forgive.
Fantastic news this is getting better every day now. Give em he’ll Slava Ukraini
Thankyou so much to the Norwegian Govt and taxpayers.
How many f-16s does Ukraine have now?
If Ukraine manages to secure it’s airspace I hope it gets our (Czech) ground attack jets (L-159) that we have mothballed in some decent numbers, waiting for a buyer. The argument against their deployment in Ukraine so far was that they are useless without air superiority since a dedicated ground attack jet has limited means of defending itself from real fighter jets. F-16s and Mirages securing the sky might be just what’s needed for those “baby warthogs” to show teeth.
