| − | Since the beginning of July 2024, the appearance of F-16 air groups with various affiliation markings, in particular, the Air Forces of [[Romania]], [[Germany]], [[Denmark]] and other NATO countries, was observed in the airspace of countries adjacent to Ukraine. In addition, flights were practiced with transponders turned off. Frequent takeoffs and landings at airfields in Poland and Romania were also being practiced, including at night. A significant increase in [[F-16]] sorties from Polish airfields was observed. A "operational game" was carried out to covertly transport F-16 aircraft for the air forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This indicated a disguise of the start of the [[NATO]] air operation in Ukraine, and of the Polish Armed Forces' direct intervention in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. | + | Since the beginning of July 2024, the appearance of F-16 air groups with various affiliation markings, in particular, the Air Forces of [[Romania]], [[Germany]], [[Denmark]] and other NATO countries, was observed in the airspace of countries adjacent to Ukraine.
