The first batch of F-16 fighter jets, which has been waiting for more than a year, has arrived in Ukraine. These aircraft are the first 6 of the 24 F-16 fighters promised by the Netherlands. Fighters from Denmark are also expected to arrive soon. Analysts and officials say the F-16 alone will not be a turning point in the war.

The US State Department has sent an official notice to Turkey regarding the sale of 40 F-16 Block fighter jets, the modernization of the existing 79 F-16s, and the supply of spare parts to them. The decision is likely to be approved by Congress following Turkey's approval of Sweden's accession to NATO.
