Danish F-16BM firing AIM-9M Sidewinders
On 17 August, the United States approved the donation of F-16 fighters to Ukraine from Denmark and the Netherlands. The two countries subsequently announced their intention to supply Ukraine with 19 and 42 aircraft, respectively
Since we know this information, it can be assumed that main AIM-9 that Ukraine uses on it’s F-16 is AIM-9M
The use of French AASM 250 “Hammer” precision bombs with the Su-25M1. The integration of these aerial bombs into attack aircraft became known back in June last year.

Some airframes were also overhauled with a FLIR system and added the ability to fire western munitions, although it is not known if they in particular were delivered.
The cockpits were updated, too.

The regiment was disbanded on June 1, 1993. According to the requirements of the directive of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine dated January 6, 1993, the 92nd Fighter Aviation Regiment was relocated from July 21 to August 1, 1993 in Vasylkiv to replace the disbanded 146th FAR.

Can officially add the Mirage 2000-5F to the tree. Also more F-16AM MLU’s have been delivered to the Ukrainian Air Force.
The likely first images of the Mirage 2000-5F in UAF hands en route to Ukraine:
this is possible as its own tree but would be very politically tense if they added it as a sub tree to russia if it is made a sub tree it will probably go to a nato country as they have a tighter relation than russia
People advocate for less copy-pasted vehicles and yet also support a Ukrainian AF tree, which would just be an amalgamation of every copy-pastable vehicle there is…
“Lowpass” of the Ukrainian F-16. The aircraft carries a full set of air-to-air missiles, AIM-120 and AIM-9. The aircraft also features 2 additional 370-gallon fuel tanks. The AN/ALQ-131 electronic countermeasures system is installed on the central fuselage hardpoint.
It seems to me that in addition to the AIM-120 and AIM-9 air-to-air missiles, there are GBU-39/B SDB bombs, and in any case, this aircraft is an incredible beauty.
(Photo for reference)
In the photo of the F-16, you can see the AIM-9X of an unknown version (block) and the AIM-120C (without specifying whether it is C6, C7 or C8). The only difference between the later versions of the C and D series is a slightly bigger length due to the use of new solid fuel engines.
The theoretical appearance of C8 missiles is quite possible, since the United States has allocated a whole lot of missiles for Ukraine that were originally intended for the FMS, and these versions could well be among them.
Official congratulations on the Day of the Aviation Engineering Service!

The ALQ-131 system is designed to detect radiation from enemy radars, aircraft radars, anti-aircraft missiles and to jam them accordingly
A Ukrainian MiG-29, though, I’m not sure what model. Could be a MiG-29S, MU1, MU2, etc.
The F-16AM’s really be fully loaded out. They’re also equipped with GBU-39 SDB’s which are small diameter bombs with glide kits and GPS. With the ALQ-131 ECM pod, these would be a top performer in-game for the tree.
Unoficially, they are already used to deliver bigger JDAMs
