Ukraine has already carried out its first combat missions with F-16s following the long-awaited arrival of the American-made fighters, The Telegraph reports.

According to the publication, modern military aircraft have so far been used only for "air defense". A representative of the Ukrainian Air Force "did not deny this".

Ukraine is expected to receive 79 F-16 fighters from Belgium, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands. Oleksiy Neizhpapa, commander of the Ukrainian Navy, said the planes would help challenge Russia's "total dominance" in the skies over the Black Sea. But Western aviation experts warn that the warplanes will not be something that will ensure victory for the Ukrainians.

Earlier media reports said that only six Ukrainian pilots had qualified to fly the F-16, meaning they would only be able to fly a limited number of sorties per day. There are also suggestions that the planes would be limited to an air defense role due to the threat posed by Russian anti-aircraft missile systems located closer to the front lines.

Recall, on July 31, Bloomberg reported that the first F-16 fighters had already arrived in Ukraine. This was also confirmed by the AP. It is not known exactly how many aircraft were delivered in the first tranche or by which countries.

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby refused to confirm that the United States had transferred its F-16 fighters to Ukraine. At the same time, it was noted that the United States has no doubt that Kiev will be able to begin using the F-16 fighters received from the West by the end of the summer. Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said that Ukraine has already received the first batch of F-16 fighter jets as part of Western defense aid. The minister noted that such support in the form of delivering these long-awaited aircraft to the Ukrainian side seemed impossible before.

"F-16s in Ukraine. Another impossible turned out to be totally possible," Landsbergis stated in his post.

Meanwhile, a US official told Reuters on the condition of anonymity that the delivery of the fighter jets has been completed. However, it remains unclear how many jets have been provided to Ukraine in the first batch and from which countries.
