The Netherlands has allocated over 350 million euros ($381 million) to purchase F-16 ammunition and advanced reconnaissance drones for Ukraine. Amsterdam announced it would send 24 F-16s for Ukraine last year, along with Denmark, which is sending 37. The first batch of F-16s is expected to arrive in Ukraine this summer, with over 150 million euros ($163 million) to be spent on air-to-ground munitions and over 200 million euros ($218 million) on the drones. The US and Norway are also expected to send aircraft, and the Netherlands is providing 18 F-16s for training Ukrainian and Romanian pilots.
