In the near future, the first F-16 fighters should appear in Ukraine. Some of them will be placed at airfields abroad, but the White House noted that the United States does not plan to do so.

American fighters will be located in Ukraine. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan stated this in an interview.

F-16 should be based in Ukraine

The fact that F-16s should be stationed at Ukrainian air bases is stated in the signed agreement between Ukraine and the United States.

It is planned to deliver the F-16 to Ukraine. And the bilateral security agreement that the President (USA – Channel 24) and President Zelensky signed reinforced the point that we want to help Ukraine have this potential. This should be a capability that is based in Ukraine,” Sullivan said.

Recall that the deployment of F-16s transferred to Ukraine abroad is explained by the need to protect them from Russian attacks. These aircraft will be located in those centers where Ukrainian pilots and aviation personnel are trained.
