Damn. If this is because of the potential Friendly Fire loss of an F-16 then it *might* be an overreaction. But there probably was/is other stuff as well.
That Ukraine still has a working aviation to this day is probably a sign of a job mostly done well by Oleshchuk.
Good luck whoever follows him.

Whilst not giving any concrete proof to that friendly fire AA theory on downed F-16 ; it’s still more than likely connected to that (the timing is too close , for it not to be related) .
Now it depends whether it was a “straw that broke camel’s back” , or an emotional decision after such loss . I guess , we’ll wait and see .

It’s difficult and saddening to lose a friend, son, brother, husband, father. It’s difficult to lose a pilot also. Pilots take quite some time to train. I know I’m a Commercial Pilot. F-16 can be replaced.
I would imagine that the night when this happened there were many surface to air weapons being fired in defense of Ukraine. Let’s hope it’s not a friendly fire incident. It’s very possible and was my first thought.

Zelenskyy has his hands full, dealing with the Terrorist invasion, tons of corruptions, many more he has to deal with. But he is not hesitant to execute solution to win this war. Slava Ukraini.

Such very bad luck losing the F-16 and an ace pilot most of all.
