Zaluzhnyi: Some Ukrainian pilots can already start flight training on F-16
According to him, the pilots have already undergone certain preparatory measures
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhnyi wrote on social media that some of the Ukrainian pilots who went to Denmark have already completed certain preparatory activities and are ready to start flight training on F-16 fighters.
Danish Defense Minister Flemming Løntfer told Zaluzhnyi about this.
"The focus is on the training of Ukrainian pilots and engineers on F-16s, which is ongoing in Denmark. General Lentfer said that some of our pilots have already successfully completed the preparatory activities and can begin flight training," Zaluzhnyi's telegram channel said in a brief report on the phone conversation with the Danish defense minister.
Training of Ukrainian pilots and ground personnel, according to all participants in the process, will take several months, and therefore Ukraine will receive American F-16 fighters no earlier than next year.
The Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway have declared their readiness to provide Ukraine with several dozen of these aircraft.
Background. As reported, Romania and the Netherlands will set up a training center for F-16 pilots.
