Recent imagery confirms that Ukrainian Air Force F-16s are actively participating in combat missions, equipped for both air-to-air and air-to-ground operations. The jets carry AIM-9X Sidewinder and AIM-120C AMRAAM missiles, significantly boosting their effectiveness against Russian threats. With U.S.-assisted electronic warfare upgrades, the F-16s are playing an increasingly vital role in Ukraine’s defense strategy. As additional F-16s arrive, Ukraine is expected to expand their operational scope and mission capabilities. The deployment marks a major step in modernizing Ukraine’s air force amid ongoing conflict.
