President Zelenskyy highlighted the F-16s' significance, thanking allies for aiding in obtaining the aircraft that will help 'close the Ukrainian sky from Russian missiles and aircraft.'
Ukraine views the F-16s as a crucial asset in its defensive war against Russia, focusing on protecting their airspace and preparing for potential threats, like Russian SAMs.
Experts anticipate the F-16s to operate cautiously within Ukrainian airspace, mainly as a defensive measure to avoid potential losses from Russian air defense systems.
