NY POST: Ukraine’s F-16 jets score first victory against Russia’s missile barrage:

Ukraine’s F-16s scored their first victory against Russia after the US-made jets were deployed to shoot down Russia’s latest missile and drone barrage, officials said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the jets, which arrived earlier this month, were key to mitigating the damage from Monday’s massive attack, which saw more than 200 missiles and drones fired from Russia, the Kyiv Independent reports.

“[The F-16s had] a very good result,” Zelensky told reporters at a press conference Tuesday. “We thank our partners for providing us with the F-16s.

“Of course, this is not enough,” he added. “We don’t have many of them, and we still need to train pilots.”

Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway have pledged to provide Ukraine with more than 80 F-16s after getting the green light from the Biden-Harris administration, with the first batch of planes and trained pilots arriving about three weeks before Monday’s attacks.

The Ukrainian air force said the jets and Kyiv’s aerial defense system were able to shoot down 102 missiles and 99 drones on Monday, but the claims could not be independently verified.

Officials reported that the attack, which struck half of Ukraine, killed at least four people, with the Russian assault also hitting major power stations and causing blackouts across the country.

The Kremlin claimed the attack was specifically targeting Kyiv’s energy infrastructure and airfields, but the latter are protected by newly installed rocket-intercepting systems working to keep the F-16s safe.

Zelensky and military chief Oleksandr Syrskyi have said that once more F-16 jets and pilots are acquired, Kyiv will be able to successfully defend itself against Russia’s aerial assaults. --->READ MORE HERE
