US-made F-16 Fighter Jet Crashes in Ukraine, Pilot Error Cited in Preliminary Investigation

ai generated text

A US-made F-16 fighter jet crashed on August 26, resulting in the death of its pilot, Oleksiy Mes, during a significant Russian aerial assault on Ukraine. The incident occurred while Russia launched over 200 missiles and drones targeting civilian and energy facilities. The crash is believed to be the first reported loss of an F-16 in Ukraine, where at least six of the warplanes have been delivered. Ukrainian Defense Forces do not suspect pilot error as the cause of the crash, and an investigation is underway, with international experts to be involved. The incident occurred during a large-scale bombardment by Russia, which has also resulted in the deaths of at least 11 people this week.

    1. During the approach to the next target, communication with one of the aircraft was lost. As it turned out later, the plane crashed, the pilot died.

    1. We continue to insist that their determination now -- lifting the restrictions on long-range strikes for Ukraine now -- will help us to end the war as soon as possible in a fair way for Ukraine and the world as a whole.
    2. All our partners should be more active -- much more active -- in countering Russian terror.
