Ukraine Air Force loses second F-16, pilot killed in action, but number of aircraft increases

The Ukrainian Air Force announced on Saturday, the 12th, that an F-16 fighter pilot had died during a combat mission. This is the second loss of an F-16 fighter and its pilot since the aircraft began to be donated by the West in August last year. In a statement on the 13th, the Ukrainian Air Force announced, "On April 12, 2025, 26-year-old Pavlo Ivanov died during a combat mission in an F-16." President Zelenskyy also expressed his condolences regarding his death on social media, saying, "Today, Captain Pavlo Ivanov was tragically killed during a combat mission in an F-16. He was only 26 years old. My heartfelt condolences to his family and Pavlo's comrades. Military authorities have submitted the necessary report on the battle situation. We are currently reviewing all circumstances. Ukrainian F-16, Mirage and MiG fighter jets are bravely performing the mission of defending the country and supporting ground operations. The Air Force is also engaged in the mission of protecting Ukraine from Russian missiles and drones. We are proud of our warriors. We will respond strongly and decisively. Glory to Ukraine!" "I am very proud that we were able to take you out of combat duty and send you to F-16 retraining," recalled Deputy Commander Rostislav Lazarenko of the 299th Tactical Aviation Brigade. "You were one of Ukraine's first F-16 pilots, an assault fighter pilot who flew 130 combat sorties before retraining." ■Related videos    • ウクライナにフランスからミラージュ2000戦闘機が到着！オランダからはF-...      • ウクライナ軍のF-16戦闘機が撃墜の新記録樹立！初の機関砲による戦果も      • オランダ、ウクライナに供与してF-16戦闘機によるロシア領内への攻撃を正式に許可      • 配備から一ヵ月、ウクライナ軍のF-16戦闘機が墜落、パイロットが死亡。ロシ...      • ウクライナ軍のF-16戦闘機が初撃墜記録を達成   We will explain the military, security, defense and military news from around the world in an easy-to-understand and relaxed manner. #f16 #supportforUkraine #invasionofUkraine #f16fighter #ukraineairforce
