Combat pilot Pavlo Ivanov, 26, was killed today while flying a sortie on an F-16 fighter jet, Ukraine’s Air Force announced.
It is unclear how exactly Ivanov died: whether his plane suffered a malfunction or was shot down by Russian forces, or if it was an instance of ‘friendly fire.’
This is Ukraine’s second F-16 loss, following the first in August 2024, when the fighter jet was shot down by a Ukraine-operated Patriot missile system due to coordination issues between Ukrainian military units, as reported by the state's parliament member, Maryana Bezuglaya.
