BREAKING : US made F-16 Shoots Down putin´s 🇷🇺 Su-35 Over Kursk! | First F-16 Air-to-Air Kill of the War

I cannot help but think that a lot of this recent activity is directly due to the arrival of the Surveillance Aircraft donated by Sweden!

by the WAY, Kursk is ethic Ukraine territory and It has be LIBERATED AS WELL

Also the 1st F-16 kill of a SU-35 ever, regardless of the conflict?

Good to see the real peace process continues.​

Not just an F16, the elephant in the room is a Swedish AWAS system now detecting Russian aircraft hundreds of KM away in real time and directing missiles fired by the F16.

lost another Su-35. Theory is that Ukraine now has operational their Swedish SAAB AEW&C planes with their F-16 fleet.This capability took years to fight for and obtain for Ukraine.

Norway had planned to deliver fourteen F-16 fighters to Ukraine,

The Su-35 went down, but whether an F-16 did it is unconfirmed.

I’d bet on ground defenses over a flashy air-to-air kill until we see solid evidence.

• S-300V1: Ukraine’s Air Force has been using these Soviet-era mobile systems, which are among their few defenses capable of downing ballistic missiles and high-performance aircraft like the Su-35. The S-300V1’s 9M83 interceptors have a range of about 75 km and can engage targets at high altitudes. Footage from February 2025 shows them in action in eastern Ukraine, and they’re mobile enough to be deployed near Kursk’s front lines. Stocks are likely low, though, as Russia’s the only source for new missiles.
  
  
• Patriot Systems: Ukraine has US-supplied Patriots, which are game-changers against advanced jets. With a range up to 160 km and PAC-2 interceptors, they can take down an Su-35 from a distance. Patriots were reported active in Ukraine in 2025, and their mobility makes them plausible for Kursk. A Defense Express report suggests a Patriot could’ve been the real shooter in the Su-35 incident, not an F-16, given the radar and range advantages.
  
  
• NASAMS: These Norwegian-US systems use AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles (same as F-16s) with a 40 km range. They’re effective against aircraft but less likely for a high-altitude Su-35 kill due to shorter reach and no ballistic missile capability. Still, Ukraine’s had them since 2023, and they could be in Kursk for layered defense.
  
  
• Buk-M2/M3: Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces hit Russian Buk systems in Kursk in April 2025, but Ukraine also fields its own Buk-M1 variants.

Kursk is a Russian oblast. Not a part of occupied Ukraine.
