An F-16 fighter supersonic provided by the West for Ukraine crashed during a tough operation against more than 500 Russian forces' missile attacks, causing the loss of the pilot known as hero, Lieutenant Colonel Maxym Ustimenko.
Pilot Maxym Ustimenko, born in 1993, had managed to bring down seven air targets using all his weapons before the plane was hit and crashed.
Due to the intensity of Russian attacks on Ukraine, Poland's operational command announced that NATO warplanes rose urgently in the air.
An official NATO statement, according to Mirror, says:
In connection with the Russian Federation's attack on objects on Ukraine's territory, Polish aviation and allies have begun operating in our airspace. Operational Commander of the Armed Forces has activated all available forces and resources. Couples of combat aircraft on alert have been set up in the air, while ground air defence and radar detection systems have reached the highest alert level. ”
This development reflects the escalation of tensions and NATO's efforts to support Ukraine in facing fierce Russian offensive./Periscopi/
