AustriaUkraine has lost one of its valuable Western fighter jets, an F-16, during defense operations. The aircraft crashed while intercepting hostile aerial objects, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.

The loss is significant for Kyiv, which cannot manufacture these jets itself and still awaits the full complement of around 80 promised aircraft.
