2025 is a year of heightened threat and decisions without room for error.

It was a year of intense air warfare.A year when the enemy scaled up its strikes and changed its tactics.And a year in which the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine responded faster, more accurately, and more fiercely.

We destroyed air targets and thwarted massive attacks. We adapted to new types of threats. We introduced innovations without pausing to “get used to it.” We worked under constant pressure – with maximum responsibility for the lives of millions.

A separate focus for 2025 is unmanned air defense systems created in the Air Force, reconnaissance and reconnaissance of the air situation, organization of interaction, countering enemy UAVs, and increasing the effectiveness of destruction.

This is a year of serious results and painful losses that we will never forget. A year of the high price that Ukraine pays for the right to a peaceful future for our children.

A year in which we proved that the Ukrainian sky has protection, and it is becoming stronger.

Happy New Year 2026! We will win!
