There are approximately 3,000 operational F-16 Fighting Falcons in service today in 25 countries, a testament to what is easily the world’s most successful, combat-proven multi-role jet fighter ever produced. Since entering service in 1979, this tried and true “warbird” has been battle-tested, engaging in more than 400,000 combat sorties and has a combined 19 million flight hours.
It has been adapted to complete a number of missions, including air-to-air fighting, ground attack, and electronic warfare. As a combat fighter, the F-16 has also proven to be highly maneuverable while its combat radius exceeds that of its potential threats.
It was developed to counter Soviet aircraft, yet it seems highly unlikely that any Fighting Falcons will be taking an active role against the Russians in Ukraine.
