As of today, the enemy's greatest strategic advantage over Ukraine is superiority in the sky.

Points of attention

  • Zelenskyy indicated that the Russian Federation's most significant strategic advantage of the Russian Federation over Ukraine is its advantage in the sky.
  • Superiority in the sky allows Russian troops to effectively advance on the ground and use missile and bomb terror.
  • Transferring F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine will improve the country's defence capabilities and help level the odds in the sky with the opponent.
  • According to the plans, Ukraine expects to receive 30 F-16 fighters from Belgian partners by 2028.
  • The resumption of the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2024 became a platform for Zelenskyy's statement about the importance of solving Ukraine's security and defence capabilities.

What is the biggest strategic advantage of the Russian army

As of now, Russia's greatest strategic advantage over Ukraine is superiority in the sky. It is missile and bomb terror. Which helps Russian troops to advance on the ground, and Russian hatred to destroy the lives of Ukrainians, — said the president.

Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said this during the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2024 opening ceremony.

F-16 jets for Ukraine: details

Last year, several member countries of the North Atlantic Alliance decided to transfer F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.

In particular, the training of our pilots for these aircraft was agreed upon. At the end of May, it became known that the first group of Ukrainian pilots had already completed training on F-16 jets at a military base in the United States of America (USA).

Danish PM Mette Fredriksen said Ukraine will soon receive the first fighter jets.

Meanwhile, Belgium has undertaken to provide 30 units of F-16 to our country by 2028.
