Zelensky told the Financial Times that F-16s currently destroy 50-60% of Russian jet-powered drones. Ukraine is also testing five high-speed interceptor models, with effectiveness varying from 30% to 70%, and expects to have 400 interceptors in October. #Ukraine

They could do with receiving the donated Gripen fighters this year as well, instead of early next year.

I'd be curious if any other fixed wing planes are used for this -- Mirage, etc. There was a report yesterday that Ukraine used the 30mm cannon on a Mirage to intercept a Banderol missile. I'm guessing that Ukraine has more F16s than Mirages, and maybe they just use Mirage in a single sector?
