F-16s Delivered To Ukraine With Advanced Countermeasure Pods For Self-Protection
As we reported on Sunday, after many months of negotiations and training of pilots and ground crews, Ukraine has finally taken delivery of its first batch of F-16 Vipers. These donated F-16AM/BM Mid Life Upgrade (MLU) configured jets represent a big leap forward in capability for the Ukrainian Air Force, but they will also be one of Russia’s top targets. While a wide array of weapons could become available to them, Ukraine’s Vipers have so far been configured strictly for air defense, but they are also equipped with a unique self-protection system that can go a long way to keeping Russian SAMs and air-to-air missiles at bay.
Join us for an in-depth look at the news surrounding this historic moment for the Ukrainian Air Force and at the exact F-16s and their stores, including their self-protection countermeasure and electronic warfare pylons, that are now blasting through Ukrainian skies.
