F16 fighter jet was shot down, Zelenskyy is furious.
According to The Kyiv Independent, the Ukrainian Air Force reported that on April 12 local time, 26-year-old Ukrainian Air Force pilot Pavlo Ivanov died while on an operational mission in an F16 fighter jet. Zelenskyy stated that there would be a "strong and precise response".
The F16 fighter jet is called the best third-generation fighter in Western countries, with global sales reaching over 4000 units, earning the United States a lot of money. To help Ukraine, countries such as the Netherlands, Denmark, and Belgium have donated dozens of F16 fighter jets to Ukraine. At first, Ukraine was always very cautious, always worried about the F16 fighter jet being shot down, so it kept the F16 fighter jets in the rear for defensive tasks. Recently, Ukraine believed it was time for the F16 fighter jets to play their role, but it was shot down by Russian forces as soon as it appeared. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is furious and vowed to retaliate. However, every retaliation from Ukraine will face even more intense counterattacks from Russia. Ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict as soon as possible is the correct choice for Ukraine.
