Netherlands to send 6 more F-16s to Ukraine

https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-war-latest-february-5-2024/

“The Netherlands is preparing to send Ukraine an additional six U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets, Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren announced on Feb. 5, bringing the total number of jets pledged to Ukraine by the Netherlands to 24 (during 2024 and 2025).

In a separate announcement, the Dutch Defense Ministry explained that the six additional jets became available for Ukraine since an agreement to sell these planes to Draken International, an American aerospace and defense company, was canceled.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on Dec. 22 that the Netherlands was preparing the initial batch of 18 F-16s for delivery to Ukraine. The Dutch Air Force is transitioning to more advanced F-35 fighter jets.

In mid-August 2023, Denmark pledged to give Ukraine 19 F-16s, with the first batch of six aircraft expected to be delivered in spring 2024 and the rest by 2025.

Belgium’s defense minister has promised several jets, which would likely arrive in 2025. According to Norwegian broadcaster NRK, Norway plans to send between five and 10 planes.

Experts told the Kyiv Independent that Ukraine will likely have at least some F-16s operational in late spring or early summer.”
