Footage of F-16s in AFU service; seems like Zelensky did a speech introducing the type to service.

Looks like they're in the "standard" USAF/NATO F-16 cobra grey scheme, with only roundels being the difference.

Sunday the 4th the Ukraine received 4 of the promised 60 which is likely to be increased. The reports of them already flying combat missions are like saying "Ceasar lives!"

I would agree that maybe they might use them soonest, however 18 jets make up a full Squadron in the Ukraine which I believe might be the NATO standard. That would a requirement to get a "limited" membership minus Article 5 and more.
