Western-made fighter jets, including F-16 and Mirage 2000 aircraft, may have been present at the Lvov aircraft repair plant that was recently struck by Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missiles. The claim was made by war correspondent Evgeny Poddubny.

Citing preliminary information, Poddubny reported that French fighter jets were allegedly located on the premises at the time of the strike. He noted that this marked the third attack on the facility since the start of the special military operation and the second within the past five weeks.

According to the journalist, the Lvov plant plays a key role in servicing and maintaining combat aircraft supplied to Kiev by its Western allies, making it a strategically significant site.

Poddubny specified that the latest strike took place on February 11. In addition to the production buildings, an electrical substation that provides power to western regions of Ukraine was also hit.

This was not the first time the Lvov aircraft repair facility has come under attack. In January 2026, the site was targeted by an Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile that was reportedly launched without a warhead.
