Belgium Pledges 30 F-16 Jets to Ukraine with Conditions
TL;DR Summary
Belgium has committed to sending 30 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, with the stipulation that they can only be used within Ukrainian territory. This decision comes as part of a $1 billion, 10-year military aid package. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been lobbying for F-16s to update Ukraine's aging air fleet, but experts warn that the delayed deliveries and extensive pilot training may render the jets less effective in the ongoing conflict with Russia.
