Ukraine’s Air Force lost an F-16 fighter jet on Friday following an in-flight malfunction; the pilot ejected safely after diverting the aircraft from populated areas, and investigators say there’s no indication of Russian fire.
The Ukrainian Air Force announced that it lost an F-16 on Friday morning due to an in-flight anomaly, although the pilot ejected safely after steering the jet away from populated areas. According to preliminary findings, “an unusual situation arose on board,” and there is no indication the crash was caused by Russian fire. A commission has been convened to investigate the incident further, and the pilot is reported to be in good health.
This is the second F-16 to crash since Ukraine began receiving the fighters from U.S. allies last year under a program approved by President Joe Biden’s administration. The first occurred in late August 2024, when an F-16 went down—and its pilot was killed—while repelling a major Russian air strike. Ukraine has not disclosed the total number of F-16s it has acquired.
