1333 Reserve and Scrap Aviation Base		storage and disposal of L-39 and Su-24

The first Ukrainian F-16s arrived by the end of July 2024. Analysis shows that at least two ex-Danish Vipers were delivered, possibly joined by ex Dutch Air Force examples. Also on the presentation a couple of F-16ADFs were spotted, maybe that they are ex-USAF aircraft, used for ground instructions. We do not have information where they will be based.
