Rocket is a Ukrainian fighter pilot who has recently gained media attention for being one of the first newly trained pilots to operate F-16 fighter jets, a significant development in Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia. In an interview with Norwegian media, Rocket discussed how the introduction of F-16s has altered Russian tactics in the air and described the primary mission of his squadron as protecting ground operations by intercepting incoming threats such as drones and missiles.
