While America is embroiled in the war between Iran and Greenland, Russia has shot down an American-made F-16 fighter jet in the first major attack of the new year. This information has been given by the Russian government media.
According to military sources, the Russian army targeted this fighter plane with the help of S-300 air defense system. Russian Army Commander Callsign Sever has given this information. Before this, the plane was damaged by a missile and then it was completely destroyed by the second missile. Russia wants to show that even high-tech fighter jets of western countries cannot stand against Russian air defense.
Since when is Ukraine getting F-16 fighter planes?
In fact, Ukraine started receiving F-16 fighter planes from America and European countries from August 2024. These aircraft have been deployed to strengthen the air defense capability of Ukraine. Ukrainian officials claim that hundreds of Russian missiles and drones have been shot down with the help of F-16. However, Ukraine has not confirmed this claim.
F-16 Fighting Falcon was given to Ukraine by Western countries to fight Russia, with the help of which an attempt was made to secure and strengthen its airspace. At the same time, the Center for Countering Disinformation associated with the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine has called it Russian propaganda.
What did the Ukrainian Air Force say?
Ukrainian Air Force is claiming that F-16 pilots are still active. Let us tell you that since the arrival of F-16 fighter planes in Ukraine, they have become an important part of Ukrainian air security. These aircraft have helped a lot in filling the shortcomings in dealing with air attacks. Ukrainian pilots say that with the help of these fighter jets, hundreds of missiles were shot down in the air during the Russian attacks.
The downing of F-16 is yet to be confirmed by independent sources.
Let us tell you that during the war, both sides have often been accusing each other of making unconfirmed claims. In such a situation, it is very important to confirm the downing of F-16 from independent sources, because Ukraine has a very limited number of these fighter jets and every loss can affect its defense capability. In such a situation, if the downing of F-16 fighter plane is confirmed, then it will prove to be a weak air defense capability of Ukraine and that too when there is a constant threat of air attacks.
