Ukraine’s Air Force used F-16 jets as part of its defense against Russia’s mass missile and drone attack on Aug. 26, President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed during a press conference on Aug. 27.

Russia targeted 15 of Ukraine’s 24 oblasts on Aug. 26, launching over 200 missiles and drones as part of the largest-ever aerial attack against Ukraine.

. . .

F-16s gave “a very good result,” Zelensky told reporters. “As part of this huge attack, we shot down some missiles and drones with the help of F-16s.”

    Look how much they’ve done with so little and imagine what they could accomplish if we stopped giving Israel blank checks and started giving some of that aid to Ukraine

      Right??? Like, holy shit, Israel doesn’t need any of that stuff. All it lets them do is kill civilians at greater speed and in greater quantities. Ukraine, on the other hand, has proven time and again that they’ll follow the guidelines we give them, even if it ties their hands behind their backs. It’s fucking infuriating. Israel is NOT the good guy here. Ukraine definitely IS the good guy here.

        The difference is Israel is buying the weapons. If Ukraine showed up with a billion dollars , they’d get whatever they wanted immediately too.

          Israel is buying the weapons with the money marked “for buying american weapons” that the US donates to them.
