The claim that a Dutch F-16 shot down a Russian Su-35 is not supported by evidence. Reports confirm a Ukrainian Air Force action downed an Su-35 over Kursk on June 7, 2025, but the method is unclear. Some sources suggest a Ukrainian F-16 using an AMRAAM missile, while others indicate a surface-to-air missile, possibly a Patriot system. No credible reports mention Dutch involvement. The "payback" narrative tied to MH17 lacks substantiation. Official Ukrainian statements confirm the shootdown but lack details on the method, leaving uncertainty.
