Lockheed Martin delivered a record 191 F-35s in 2025, the highest annual total in the program's history, as more countries move to expand or introduce the fifth-generation jet into their air forces. The company reports that annual production is now running at a pace around five times higher than any other allied fighter currently in production.

Ukraine's air force says its F-16s have destroyed over 1,000 Russian aerial targets since entering combat, primarily serving in an air-defense role. The aircraft have relied heavily on internal cannons and targeting pods to intercept threats, rather than air-to-air missiles.
