NATO Doubles Down! Netherlands Sends Final F-16s to Ukraine — 3 Already Shot Down in War With Russia [Video]

NATO Doubles Down! Netherlands Sends Final F-16s to Ukraine — 3 Already Shot Down in War With Russia

NATO is stepping up its military backing of Ukraine as the Netherlands ships out its final batch of F-16 fighter jets — but the skies aren't safe. Ukraine has already confirmed the loss of three U.S.-made F-16s in combat. Despite mounting risks, Western nations continue their push to modernize Ukraine’s air force as part of the international fighter jet coalition. Denmark, Belgium, Norway, and the Netherlands are now actively arming Kyiv while transitioning to the F-35s themselves. Is NATO’s bet on air superiority paying off — or are these jets flying straight into danger? #F16Ukraine #NetherlandsF16 #UkraineWar #NATOvsRussia #FighterJets #Zelensky #DutchF16 #UkraineRussiaConflict #AirWar #UkraineDefense #MilitaryAid #WesternSupport #Geopolitics #NATOSupport #UkraineAirForce Also Read Pakistan Air force F-16 crashes in Islamabad during parade day rehearsal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-air-force-f-16-crashes-in-islamabad-during-parade-day-rehearsal-3048159.html?ref=DMDesc Abhinandan Varthamanan: This year, that year, the dog fight which took down a Pak F-16 :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/abhinandan-varthamanan-this-year-that-year-the-dog-fight-which-took-down-a-pak-f-16-3040561.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Air Force fighters intercept Kabul bound Spice Jet plane, escort out of its airspace :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-air-force-fighters-intercept-kabul-bound-spice-jet-escort-out-of-airspace-2963140.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.420~GR.124~
