Ukraine’s Air Force used F-16 jets as part of its defense against Russia’s mass missile and drone attack on Aug. 26, President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed during a press conference on Aug. 27.
Russia targeted 15 of Ukraine’s 24 oblasts on Aug. 26, launching over 200 missiles and drones as part of the largest-ever aerial attack against Ukraine.
. . .
F-16s gave “a very good result,” Zelensky told reporters. “As part of this huge attack, we shot down some missiles and drones with the help of F-16s.”
Israel is buying the weapons with the money marked “for buying american weapons” that the US donates to them.
So is Ukraine. The real difference is how long the supply agreements have been open.
And one country being invaded by what was previously thought to be the 2nd best military in the world.
