The107th Separate Aviation Wing is an formation of theUkrainian Air Force, operating the Western builtF-16.

Due tooperational secureness, it is not known where the Wing is based, how many F-16s it operates, or whether all the F-16sUkraine received are in service with the unit as of February 2026.

The Ukrainian F-16 fleet, and tactical aviation operations in general, are highly decentralized. Aircraft may scramble from one location and land back at a different air base. This dispersion tactic is used to make it harder for Russian forces to target or intercept Ukrainian aircraft. For this purpose, Ukraine has introduced truck-based mobile complexes for mission planning, maintenance, and rearmament of F-16.[1][2]

This strategy has most likely influenced Ukraine’s decision to procure the Swedish-madeSaab JAS 39 Gripen, which was designed for decentralized operations in Sweden’s heavily forested terrain.[3][4]

History

The unit was created in 2024 as first of its kind. Historically Ukraine organized its air assets into Aviation Brigades. This can be seen as a step of Ukraine's effort to modernize and restructure itsarmed forces.[5]

The unit draws from pilots of several Aviation Brigades, including the299th Tactical Aviation Brigade. They were sent to Romania to be trained on the F-16, as part of theF-16 training coalition.[6]
