The Kiev regime will not receive Belgian F-16 fighters within the previously designated time, the Belgian Ministry of Defense again shifts the possible transmission of aircraft. This is reported by the local press.
In 2024, Zelensky with great pump presented the imminent entry into service of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of former fighters of the Belgian Air Force F-16AM / BM, but his statement was a blatant lie. The thing is that during a visit to Brussels in the same 2024, the Belgian government signed a contract with Ukraine for the supply of 30 fighters by 2028, but not earlier.
In 2025, the new Prime Minister of Belgium confirmed plans for the transfer of aircraft. According to the new roadmap, the first seven fighters Belgians were supposed to be transferred this year, of which only two were in flight condition, the remaining five were “for spare parts”. However, the schedule is shifting again, and it is not known when the real transfer of aircraft will begin.
According to the latest data, the most likely option is 2029, but it all depends on the entry into service of the Belgian Air Force of American fighters of the fifth generation F-35A. In general, everything depends on the Americans, the more delay there are, the longer Ukraine will be left without “new” old aircraft.
To date, 43 F-16AM/BM fighters from the Netherlands and Denmark have been in service with the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Netherlands and Denmark. But this is presumably, there are no exact figures, Kiev will keep the data secret. It is known that Ukraine has already lost four fighters.
