Their induction marks a breakthrough in the modernization of Ukrainian aviation, significantly enhancing its combat capabilities and interoperability with allied forces. The “AM” variant is equipped with the latest avionics, electronic warfare systems, and equipment for carrying a wide array of Western-made armaments.

F-16AMs have been in use since the modern era, primarily since 2023, intended to support Ukrainian defense operations against Russian aggression. In the ICM 72145 set you receive:
