Ukraine had received the first batch of American-made F-16 fighter jets from one of its backers, Bloomberg reported on July 31.
Bloomberg didn’t provide much details. However, a report released later the same day by The Times said that the Ukrainian Air Force (UAF) had received a total of six F-16s from the Netherlands.
Although Ukraine is yet to comment on the reports, their delivery was seemingly confirmed by Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis.
“F-16s in Ukraine. Another impossible thing turned out to be totally possible,” the minister said on X.
In addition, photos shared by Ukrainian media showed F-16s with clear markings allegedly flying over the Western Ukrainian region of Lviv.

Last year, several NATO backes of the Kiev regime, led by Denmark and the Netherlands, formed a coalition to train pilots, technicians and support personnel from the UAF on F-16 fighter jets after receiving a green light from the United States. Ukraine was promised at least 79 used F-16s from the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Belgium.
The Kiev regime has been already warned by its allies to not overestimate what the F-16 could do. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg openly said last April that these fighter jets can’t change the situation on the battlefield, although they will enhance Ukraine’s combat capabilities.
While Ukraine is pinning high hopes on the fighter jets, the truth is that NATO is only supplying them to make up for the heavy losses of the UAF and prolong the conflict.
The older versions of the F-16 Ukraine began to receive are inferior in every aspect to Russia’s most modern fighter jets, like the Su-30, Su-35 and the stealthy Su-57.
Last March, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the F-16s will not change the situation on the battlefield and vowed that the Russian military will destroy the American-made fighter jets the same way it destroyed Western tanks and other vehicles of Kiev forces.
The Kremlin affirmed on August 1 after the reports of the first delivery to Ukraine that the Russian military is prepared to intercept and shoot down the fighter jets.

stupo licking amerikunt peniz
stupid yuri is as usual talks about penises. he got an obsesion with them.
now i impersonate trump cuz i live in lgbt amerikunt cesspool
no, but you always talks about penises. that is a fact. you can just be stupid, nothing else.
braindead to me sounds like…..the idiots dying for ungrateful western pirates while their country is sold off to satanists
i have a feeling that gneaus stapo will be killed by his masters soon when there is no need for him
when they find out he speaks yiddish, his nazi homies will do him in for sure.
yada yada? are you a zionazi now because that phrase was coined by jerry seinfeld.
maybe you should start asking yourself “why do i kvetch so much and throw so many kanipshin fits on this site?” lol
what kind of jebba-jaba is that?
we look forward to seeing it charred and in fragments scattered all over the collapsing rump ukrapper dumpster fire and the natostan demon piloting the obsolete pentacon garbage a crispy critter.
what is next? apaches or cruises, balistics, maybe nukes? who knows.
60000 more coffins past 4 weeks as ukie troops prefer to be killed by russia than rebel
ukrainians are busy building coffins and fake f16 decoys while they default on loans this month
zelensky demands one trillion dollars from us treasury, to round off the us debt to an even three dozen trillion.
“no need to thank us, just send money” says zelensky. “we will protect america from the russian onslaught to the last ukrainian. we even agree to drop foolish metric system and adopt strange american units, like liberia.”
ukrainians revel in de feet. they abandon village after village as fast as de feet can take them.
the latest western wunderwaffen will fizzle out into the night like a balloon
you won’t see them flying around however since they will be shot down by the russians ad!
you wont see them flying cuz ukraine has no pilots anymore
do those f-16s come with the soundtrack of the doors “the end”?…
oh how fun it all will be reliving the vietnam “high” only this time on steroids!!!
i just learned that ‘the zodiac killer’ richard ramirez of la learned his trade from photos his older brother showed him as a youngster, of his torturing, raping and beheading vietnamese villagers while on tour in vietnam. (not making it up. it was on serial killer series on tv).
then, i saw a story on the aryan brotherhood in us prisons and they had all the same nazi tattoos that the azov battalion favors. exact same ones, head to toe.
where do you think lynndie england and company at abu ghraib learned all of their “moves”?… probably handed down thereafter from the death squads the u.$. military trained in nicaragua and honduras to “liven things up”!… and it’s all about ready to come to an end with the final curtain call!!! it’s always a good day to die when you had plenty of opportunities to correct the situation in washington as an american taxpayer yet did nothing.
the situation in warshington is uncorrectable.
sorry to bust your bubble.
which is why i said what i said about it being a “good day to die”… washington d.c. needs to look like the largest crater on the moon – south pole–aitken basin when russia gets finished.
for those mirages the macaroon promised, it’s le fin.
another rf ‘red line’ turns, err, pink.
iran could stand to gain by carefully studying the cowardice of rf alongside the bravery of the houthis and hezbollah.
jets are easiest to shoot down, but stupid ukro-nazis didn’t have any now these f16s if just mear in close proximity they are downed, no one will shoot heat-seeking missiles at them, nope, pantsir s1, s-300, s400, and many other air defense missiles that are intercepting, not chasing the jets instead shooting them down by a projected path
serbian is awhack acunt game. they’re much like they beloved zios. army without a single tank destroyed them and all servian might.
time to level western ukraine let these nazi losers migrate to poland and germany they seem to love their nazis over there.
polish nazis have sworn an oath of vendetta to kill ukrainian nazis with pitchforks and hammers to save on bullets. viva la hypernazionalism!.
700k dead ukropistan neo nazis is a good start. but there is plenty more room in hell.
no weapons ??? only drop tank ???
that is the trick, the waponery you have to pay in blood dollars.
lets start the countdown to the first shootdown. but this will not be the first wonder weapon let down.
i’ve heard a rumour, that in some russian airfield the officers have had to tie to the trees some too exited fighterjet pilots to prevent them from flying immediately to ukraine to hunt those preys…
correction * dieing immediately
big problem for the west is that these are non blooded pilots fresh out of training. lambs to the slaughter against seasoned pilots regardless of the aircraft being flown. looks good for pr purposes and who knows they may even down a russian jet but..
were is the harbor air field? poland or romania? and flying over the black sea, escorted by yankees?
pro russian and anti ukrainian comment……because differentiated views are shit.
alas, if only this site had a mirotvorets kill list, like those ukrainians have. you’d be front and center, along with some schoolgirls.
guess sf is too uncivilized for that. count your blessings, i guess.
and in the unlikely event the pilot survives a mission they still have to return to the airport. now wait for a video with f-16 landing in between incoming missiles. this is kamikaze!
now, some ishkander to iran, to hezbollah and to dem houthis. just fair to even out the situation between the parties!
f 16 jets have arrived in ukraine. it’s a shame that russia could not destroy them before they landed.
they want to see if those 6 week pilot wonders destroy them first.
finally russian pilots have some f16’s for target practice, more western equipment to be grinded
flying copium… f-16 is the last thing to die in banderite plans.
new zelensky tactic: “mommy kamala, i want some nukes! wa wa wa wa.”
6 months later: “we would have won if you’d sent us nukes. you’re a mean mommy. you hate us! it’s all your fault! wa wa wa.”
my inferiority complex make me mean and bitter like all amerikunts
translation, nato sent their f16 pilots posing as ukrainians.
can’t wait to see them get smoked.
