烏克蘭空軍F-16戰機投入防空作戰,主要任務之一是攔截俄軍巡弋飛彈與攻擊無人機。
〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕烏克蘭空軍司令克里沃諾日科(Anatolii Kryvonozhko)透露,烏軍F-16飛行員已擊落超過3150個俄軍空中目標,其中包括666枚巡弋飛彈及約2500架攻擊無人機。
軍事防務網站《Defence Blog》報導,克里沃諾日科率領烏克蘭空軍代表團與美國洛克希德‧馬丁(Lockheed Martin,下稱洛馬)代表會晤時公布上述數字。他另表示,烏軍F-16已執行超過650次對俄軍地面目標的打擊。不過,烏克蘭空軍沒有說明這場會議的時間與地點,也未交代上述戰果統計涵蓋的確切時間區間。
F-16也常拿機砲打無人機
克里沃諾日科表示,儘管武器供應有限,烏軍飛行員仍透過搭配不同類型彈藥,盡可能發揮F-16性能。報導指出,烏軍目前主要使用由荷蘭、丹麥、挪威及比利時提供的F-16,攔截瞄準城市與電網的俄軍巡弋飛彈及「見證者」(Shahed)型攻擊無人機,部分任務會使用機砲及短程飛彈,以節省較昂貴的武器。
洛馬負責F-16戰力發展的主管麥奎爾(Conor McGuire)肯定烏克蘭飛行員與地勤人員操作F-16的表現,並表示該公司將協助烏克蘭提升現役F-16的能力。雙方也討論烏克蘭未來轉用更新型F-16的可能性,其中包括F-16 Block 70/72。
F-16 Block 70/72是洛馬目前生產的最新型號,在美國南卡羅來納州格林維爾(Greenville)製造,配備AN/APG-83主動電子掃描陣列(AESA)雷達,可在更遠距離追蹤更多目標,另有新的座艙顯示設備及更長的機體結構壽命。烏克蘭目前使用的F-16則由歐洲國家提供,機型較早,並曾在2000年代進行升級。
烏克蘭也在尋求F-16以外的戰機。2025年10月,烏克蘭與瑞典簽署最多150架「獅鷲」(Gripen E)戰機意向書,11月再與法國簽署最多100架「飆風」(Rafale)戰機的類似協議,但來源指出,兩項協議都尚未有戰機交付。

Ukrainian Prime Minister Koretsky said that military expenditure this year will reach 155 billion U.S. dollars, and there is still a funding gap of 27 billion U.S. dollars. The government plans to raise US$7 billion through budget adjustments, and the remaining US$20 billion needs to rely on the support of allies to ensure military combat capabilities and long-range strike capabilities in early 2027.

A computer simulation by Chinese researchers indicates a missile-borne lidar system could detect and track an F-35 stealth fighter at up to 61.5km at night under ideal conditions.

The US-led coalition deployed in Iraq to fight Islamic State concluded its mission on Wednesday, raising concerns among some that pro-Iran armed factions may expand.

The U.S. Department of War announced that it has officially ended "Operation Resolve" to fight jihadists in Iraq with the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Abir Air Base in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The withdrawal agreement was implemented by the Trump administration.

After the U.S. Navy canceled the mass production of the Constellation-class frigate, the original contractor Fincantieri planned to re-bid with FREMM EVO, arguing that using a mature design can shorten the construction time and utilize existing U.S. shipbuilding facilities. However, the final decision will still be announced after the U.S. military evaluates foreign frigate designs.
