Description of the fake LIE

In Odesa, the Russians destroyed three or four F-16 aircraft. This is reported by Telegram channels.

Refutation TRUTH

Ukraine is only getting ready to receive F-16 aircraft; we are talking about infrastructure, pilots, engineering, and aviation personnel. All the statements about the destruction of these fighters in Ukraine are just a fiction of the enemy, confirmed Yuriy Ignat, the spokesman of the Air Force of the AFU.

“Their [Russian] messages amuse us: five Ukrainian aircraft are destroyed per day in the reports of their General Staff. There are even memes about the F-16 fighters, allegedly the Russians have already found them in Ukraine,” he said on the telethon.

He added that by the end of the year, there will probably have been even more “F-16 fighters destroyed by the Russians” on the propaganda channels.
