F-16 cannon rounds against jet-powered Shahed-type drones
Ukrainian pilots use these rounds to intercept jet-powered Shahed-type attack drones.

Denmark’s F-16 fleet and the transition to the F-35
Denmark has donated F-16 fighter jets from its own fleet to Ukraine.
Like several other countries transitioning from the F-16 to the F-35, Denmark had already provided much of its 20 mm stocks to Ukraine or sold them to partners.

The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine thanks Denmark for its support and prompt response to the request for additional ammunition.
