The Ukrainian military renewed its requests to allies for the donation of advanced jet fighters, with a special focus on the American-made General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, in a series of social media posts on Ukraine's Aviation Day on Saturday.
"For the last 184 days the pilots of the Ukrainian air force have been fighting against a numerically and technologically superior enemy," read the text in a video posted by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, which was set to the Kenny Loggins song Danger Zone from the American fighter pilot film Top Gun. "It's time we gave our Ukrainian top guns the tools to finish the job. Ukraine needs F-16s now." The post asserted that the fighter aircraft were needed not just for Ukraine's sake, but to defend the "free world" as well.
