Pavlo Ivanov, a 26-year-old Ukrainian F-16 pilot, was killed during a combat mission on April 12, Ukraine\u2019s Air Force reported.<\/p>\n

The Air Force praised Ivanov\u2019s dedication and bravery in a statement<\/a> on Telegram.<\/p>\n

“Ukrainian pilots are working to the fullest extent of their human and technical capabilities, risking their lives every time they carry out a combat mission. Pavlo was one of them!” the post said.<\/p>\n

An interdepartmental commission has launched an investigation into the circumstances of the incident, according to the statement.<\/p>\n

President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his condolences<\/a> on X, and said that the response will be \u201cstrong and precise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ivanov was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine, according to the website<\/a> of the president.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor personal courage and heroism, demonstrated in the protection of the state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and selfless service to the Ukrainian people, I decree to award the title of Hero of Ukraine with the award of the “Golden Star” order to Ivanov Pavlo Ivanovych,\u201d the official statement from Zelensky said.<\/p>\n

F-16s are used in both offensive and defensive<\/a> operations. The aircraft have been used for intercepting<\/a> Russian missiles and drones during aerial strikes against Ukraine. They can also be deployed to launch missiles and bombs at Russian positions along the front line.<\/p>\n

Ivanov’s death marks the second F-16 pilot loss for Ukraine since receiving these jets, following Oleksii Mes\u2019s death<\/a> last August.<\/p>\n
