F16 Fighter Jet Russia Ukraine: Russian soldiers received reward for demolition of Russia Ukraine War American F-16

Washington: America has also received many shocks in the war of Russia-Ukraine. American’s F-16 fighter jet is one of them. The same F-16 which is with Pakistan’s enemies Pakistan. Russia has also dropped F-16. The pockets of Russian soldiers who dust fighter aircraft have been filled. A company from the city of Yakaterinburgh, Russia, has distributed a hefty amount of Rs 1.62 crore, including 12 soldiers. This company manufactures equipment for oil and gas, but now it is also making its fight in war. The soldiers were given this reward at a ceremony near the Russia-Ukraine border. The pictures came, but the faces of the soldiers were blurred- like the scene of a detective film.

Ukraine received the first batch of F-16 fighter jets from the US under the Biden administration in the summer last year, but has already crashed three of its aircraft. Ukraine had to celebrate Biden for two years to achieve these aircraft. Biden was worried that Ukrainian pilots do not have training to blow these high-tech aircraft. But finally the aircraft was found, and Ukraine brought them into battle. But luck had something else approved. In August 2024, a F-16 crashed into a Russian missile attack, and the pilot lost his life. Then on 12 April this year, another F-16 pilot was killed in war. Russia immediately claimed that their aerial defense piled the aircraft.

F-16 will be rewarded for destroying F-16

Force company did something that no one could do in Russia before. This began giving cash prize to soldiers to destroy the military equipment from Western countries, such as Abrams Tanks of America, Germany’s Leopard-2 tanks, and now F-16 aircraft. So far, the company has distributed a reward of Rs 5.24 crore. In 2023, Force announced a reward of up to Rs 50 lakh to target western tanks. Then in 2024, its CEO Sergei Shamotiev also beat the reward for F-16.

What is the purpose of this reward?

This reward is not just a matter of money. This is a kind of psychological bet of Russia, due to which it is encouraging its soldiers and giving a message to Western countries that their weapons cannot stand in front of Russia’s strength. On the other hand, this is another challenge for Ukraine, as they have limited aircraft like F-16, and every loss is overwhelming on their strategy.
