President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that Ukraine will receive F-16 jets in 2024. This was stated in his interview with AFP.
"This year. The first ones (F-16s, - ed.) will not play a key role. We need to approach everything fairly and with understanding. The first ones will not play because their number will be insufficient. But these are the first steps," he said.
F-16 for Ukraine
Ukraine critically needs modern aviation on the battlefield. A special coalition led by the Netherlands and Denmark was even formed specifically to transfer F-16 fighters.
It was recently announced that the F-16 fighters Denmark is transferring to Ukraine will be under the command of the Ukrainian Air Force within several months.
In particular, as reported by the media, the first batch of F-16 fighters scheduled for delivery from the West will arrive in Ukraine between June and July.
