In anticipation of new deliveries of air defence means Ukraine has used F-16 fighter jets in this role. This is reported by Newsweek magazine.
According to the magazine, the US Air Force planes are not engaged in active combat operations, but perform tasks to intercept missiles and drones in order to reduce the load on the Patriot air defence system.
Kiev is awaiting the arrival of the new F-16s and the training of Ukrainian pilots so that they can use these fighters to counter Russian aircraft.
We shall remind you that earlier, former Ukrainian ambassador to the USA Valeriy Chalyy said that Ukraine had no tools that could guarantee that the West would continue to provide it with support.
