 The first group of Ukrainian pilots goes to training on F-16 jets by end of summer. The first group of Ukrainian pilots is expected to depart for training on F-16 fighter jets by the end of the summer. Yuri Inat, a spokesman for the Air Force Command, said this. We hope that in a few weeks, training of Ukrainian pilots on F-16s will start. As Jacob Sullivan, U.S. National Security Advisor, said, But willing, our pilots will leave for training by the end of the summer and return as soon as possible. Inat said, According to him, it will be a group of pilots who will be trained on F-16s. In addition, he noted, There will be groups of pilots who will undergo basic training, ground training, with a transition to practical flights on various aircraft, including fighter jets. This will all take place in different countries because there is no capacity to train such a large number of people quickly in one country. Therefore, we must understand that the aviation coalition was created for a reason. Someone is helping with airplanes, someone is training pilots, someone is training combat engineers, etc., explained Inat. As reported at the NATO summit in Lithuania, Defense Minister Oleg Sresnikov signed a memorandum with 11 coalition member states that defines the conditions for training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets. The coalition member states also agreed that training for Ukrainian pilots to fly western F-16s will begin in Denmark in August.
