Final Dutch F-16 Jets for Ukraine Depart the Netherlands

The final group of 24 F-16 aircraft donated by the Netherlands to support Ukraine departed from Volkel Air Base on May 26, 2025, and are now being transported to Belgium for last-stage preparations before delivery.
The Netherlands delivered this final set following earlier batches in October 2024 and February 2025 to fulfill its commitment amid ongoing Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine.
The transfer encompasses pilot training, maintenance, ammunition, spare parts, and fuel, as part of a collaborative effort among several European countries—including the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, and Norway—to enhance Ukraine's air defense capabilities.
Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans stated the F-16s have "already saved lives" by enabling Ukraine to counter Russian aggression and will soon be operational in the Ukrainian Air Force.
This delivery marks the completion of the Netherlands' contribution of 24 F-16s, representing a key step in bolstering Ukraine’s defense with NATO-compatible aircraft amidst ongoing conflict.
