Ukraine has marked a significant escalation in its military capabilities by deploying F-16 fighter jets and a new long-range weapon called Palianytsia against Russian forces. The F-16s were used to intercept over 300 Russian missiles and drones during recent bombardments, successfully downing five cruise missiles and 60 drones. President Zelensky highlighted the importance of lifting restrictions on Western weaponry to enhance Ukraine's response to Russian attacks, while also announcing the Palianytsia's deployment, which is designed to target Russian aircraft before they can launch strikes. This domestically produced weapon combines drone maneuverability with missile power, allowing strikes on targets deep within Russia, a capability not previously available to Ukraine without Western approval. The introduction of improved drones and smart ammunition at the recent Arms and Security 2024 exhibition further underscores Ukraine's advancements in defense technology. Together, these developments are aimed at significantly bolstering Ukraine's offensive capabilities against ongoing Russian aggression.
