Ukrainian aviation has effectively outpaced the United States in using the Agile Combat Employment (ACE) tactic. F-16 pilots are successfully countering enemy drones and cruise missiles, developing their own innovative combat methods, according to Defense Express.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces' air arm is actively employing multirole F-16 fighters to defend against hostile aerial threats.
A pilot with the callsign "AB," deputy commander of one of the aviation brigades, said their unit has shot down more than 1,000 long-range drones, including Shaheds, as well as various cruise missiles. Ukrainian pilots have already carried out hundreds of successful air engagements, repelling attacks by Russian missiles and drones.
