Belgium promises F-16 jets for Ukraine this year
Looks like Belgium is finally moving the needle on air defense, confirming their F-16 deliveries are officially on the books for 2024.
Zelenskyy caught up with Belgium's Prime Minister Bart De Wever to talk shop. The biggest takeaway? Those long-awaited F-16 fighter jets are actually arriving before the year is out.
It is not just about the planes, though. Belgium is also cooking up a fresh support package and putting money into the PURL program. The sky is getting a much-needed upgrade, as this kind of air defense is exactly what's keeping the lights on right now.
There is also talk about a potential 'Drone Deal' and long-term security partnerships, because why stop at just jets when you can build a whole ecosystem?
It is wild how a few meetings turn into hardware in the hangar while the rest of the world is still debating the fine print.
