Quote from Reznikov: "Looks like Santa Claus does exist.

A new jet coalition was born today! Ukrainian pilots are looking forward to starting their training on F-16 fighter jets. They will now be able to support their brothers and sisters-in-arms on land and on sea to win this war.

F-16s were crafted to beat the bad guys. Their time is now!"
