Ukraine to Station F-16 Jets Abroad for Safety from Russian Attacks

Western allies to provide over 60 F-16 jets as Ukraine prepares for enhanced defense capabilities amid ongoing conflict

Ukraine plans to station some of its incoming F-16 jets at foreign bases for protection against Russian strikes.
Western allies, including Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, will supply Ukraine with over 60 F-16 jets.
Ukrainian pilots are currently training to operate the F-16s, with deliveries expected to begin later this year.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to target NATO facilities if they host the F-16s used in Ukraine.
The F-16s are expected to enhance Ukraine's defenses, particularly against Russian glide bombs targeting frontline areas.
