It's a multiplayer fighter aircraft designed for the United States Air Force and can travel at speeds of up to 1500 mph and have a radius of more than 2002 miles.

In 1991, during the Gulf War, F-16 was used to attack fields, military production objects, and other targets.

Also used and flown in the conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo and the Persian Gulf.

But F-16s are constantly withdrawing, being replaced by even more advanced aircraft, including the next generation F-35.

However, the F-16s would still offer a considerable boost to Ukraine's military capabilities, both in terms of air defence and in counterattacking aid.
