The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, addressed aviation personnel on their professional holiday. He emphasised their role in achieving a common victory over the enemy and called on them to remember and honour the memory of the pilots who fell on the battlefield defending the Ukrainian sky.

The commander posted his words on Telegram. He noted that this year's best gift for our pilots is the delivery of fourth-generation F-16 fighters.

"I believe that aviation rearmament is just around the corner. And I have no doubt that the motivation of Ukrainian pilots and all aviation industry employees will make the air muscle building even more effective!" - Zaluzhnyi wrote.

He added that the employees of the national aviation industry are an example of courage and professionalism. They also demonstrate an incredible example of self-sacrifice.

"Honour and respect to the Ukrainian aviators! Eternal glory to the fallen heroes," Zaluzhnyi concluded.
