Zelenskyy dismisses Air Force commander after F-16 flight incident

Ukrainian military authorities announced on Thursday that a Fighter jet The USA crashed on Monday while defending against Russian air attacks. Unfortunately, the pilot lost his life.

Only recently, the international community Kyiv equipped with newly acquired F-16 fighter jets.

This incident represents a significant setback for Ukraine. The Kiev administration had relied on an outdated fleet of fighter aircraft such as the MIG-29 and Su-27 from the former Soviet Union to fend off large-scale Russian air attacks and was pressing the West for a faster delivery of modern F-16 fighter jets.

The international partners had only recently delivered these modern combat aircraft to the President of the Kyiv Council. This unfortunate incident involving the US fighter aircraft highlighted the importance of strengthening the Ukrainian Air Force.
