as early as almost a month ago, kiev confidently stated that the first batch of f-16 aid to ukraine had arrived.

recently, russia also confirmed that the f-16 has already joined the war.

the f-16 has always been one of the western weapons that ukraine "desired" the most. zelensky had been lobbying everywhere since the first year of the war, hoping to get assistance in this regard. as a result, after much effort, it was not until the third year of the war that ukraine finally got the f-16 it had been waiting for.

why did ukraine specifically ask for the f-16?

obviously, the performance of the russian aircraft is best known to the ukrainians, apart from the russians themselves. after all, most of the soviet fighters were designed and manufactured in ukraine. no one in the world knows russian fighters better than ukraine, except for russia.

therefore, the ukrainians know that a sufficient number of upgraded f-16s can be just the right amount to deal with the russian aerospace forces.
