Moscow. Amidst the Russia-Ukraine war, both Kiev and America have suffered a major setback at the same time. During the Russian missile attack, Zelensky and Biden were shocked when America’s F-16 fighter jet crashed and Ukraine’s top pilot was also killed. Kiev itself has admitted that the fighter plane crashed on Monday. The Ukrainian General Staff said on Facebook that the F-16 plane crashed when it was approaching a target during the Russian air strike. Contact was lost while approaching the target. Later it was learned that the fighter plane crashed. The pilot died in the accident. Zelensky must have been tense after this news. However, Ukraine has claimed that before crashing, the American F-16 shot down four Russian cruise missiles. In fact, for the first time last month, America gave its most special weapon F-16 fighter plane to Ukraine. Ukraine had scrambled the F-16 in response to the Russian missile attack, but one F-16 crashed while countering the Russian attack. Ukraine’s top pilot was killed in this crash. In this way, America’s most destructive weapon, F-16, was destroyed in the Ukraine war.
The pilot killed in the F-16 plane crash has been identified as Colonel Alexei Moonfish. At present, Ukraine still needs more F-16s to fight the war with Russia. Zelensky himself says that he needs more than 100 American F-16 planes to effectively counter Russia. While Russia has more than 1,000 fighter planes. Let us tell you that the war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on for more than two and a half years. Actually, after a long wait and demand, the US gave Ukraine its deadliest weapon. America is proud of the capability of the F-16. The F-16 is America’s multi-role fighter aircraft. It is highly maneuverable and has proven itself in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. It is a relatively low-cost and more powerful weapon of America. The crash of the F-16 is no less than a big setback for Ukraine. Ukraine has suffered a major loss due to this. Not only the fighter plane is gone, the top pilot is also gone. According to sources, the US had given a total of 6 F-16 jets to Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on August 4 that Ukrainian pilots have started flying F-16s. He called it a milestone in the war against Russia. At the same time, the US defense official said that this plane crash is not the result of Russian shelling. It seems that it happened due to pilot error and mechanical failure.
