According to Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian F-16s shot down Russian Cruise Missiles Monday. This shoot down comes three weeks after the first fighters arrived in Ukraine from Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands and Norway.
Again on Tuesday some of the cruise missile fired on Ukraine by Russia were intercepted by the fighters, although they still sustained 5 casulties and numerous power outages occured
I would not consider these victories by the Ukranian F-16s to be kills, they claim they destroyed 102 missiles and 99 drones, but they didn't kill those who launched them although I believe they will get real kills soon, as they have been spotted on patrol with AIM-120B AMRAAM Missiles and AIM-9L Sidewinder Missiles. This will be a massive step toward vitory for Ukraine if they can defend themselfs from Russia's relentless air raids on Ukrainian troops and infrastructure.
