They might be just flew around Ukraine, as I just heard a jet somewhere in the sky, but not catched it with eyes — sound is way different from Ukrainian Su-27, Su-24, L-39 & and MiG-29, that flew there earlier.

Thanks to Denmark, Netherlands, US and other donors of F-16's for made it possible.

It was very long to wait these birds in Ukraine (viewtopic.php?p=120130#p120130)... and costs many Ukrainian civilian, soldiers' & pilots' lives since 2022.
