For the first time in military aviation history, a Western-made F-16 fighter jet has shot down a russian Su-35 in an air-to-air engagement.
According to Bild, the incident occurred on June 7 over northeastern #Ukraine during a Ukrainian Air Force operation to target Russian positions in Sumy region and neighboring Russia’s Kursk region.

The Ukrainian air crews rock! As do the ground maintenance crews keeping the aircraft mission ready. The EU and NATO can have no better allies than the Ukrainians.
