Norway plans to transfer significantly more F-16 fighters to Ukraine than previously stated.
Details: The document indicates that Norway intends to provide Ukraine with 14 F-16 aircraft, despite official announcements confirming only 6 fighters.
The report does not detail the condition of the eight additional aircraft.
They may include airframes unsuitable for flight, potentially used for training technical personnel, disassembly for spare parts, or as decoys.
In May 2025, Norwegian Defence Minister Ture Sandvik announced that all promised F-16 fighters would be transferred to Ukraine by the end of 2025.
He confirmed that some aircraft had already been delivered, with the remainder scheduled for dispatch before year-end.
In the summer of 2024, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre announced that Ukraine would receive six F-16 fighters from Norway. »
