The F-16s that Ukraine received from Western countries are almost never used because they are constantly being repaired. Zelensky stated that.
According to him, Kyiv needs two and a half times more planes in the sky at the same time.
"On paper everything is there, but they are constantly being repaired because the F-16s are not new."
According to media reports, Western countries have promised Kiev 80 to 90 fighters. According to some reports, in the years 2024-2025 Ukraine received about 40. There is no exact official figure: neither Ukraine nor donor countries disclose the current number of combat-ready vehicles.
