Ukrainian pilots to start F-16 training in Denmark at end of August – Danish defense ministry
Denmark announced the start of training of Ukrainian pilots on the F-16 at the end of August.
The Ministry of Defense of Denmark announced this, reports CNN.
As noted, a coalition of 11 countries will take part in training Ukrainian pilots.
No other details are provided.
For reference:
As previously reported by Rubryka, the United States officially approved the sending of American F-16 fighter jets from Denmark and the Netherlands to Ukraine immediately after the completion of the training of Ukrainian pilots.
It should be noted that Ukrainian officials and the military have been asking the Western allies for a long time to start supplying modern fighter jets. They are necessary for Ukraine in order to protect itself from constant Russian shelling, as well as to compete with Russian aviation.
Why does Ukraine need foreign jet fighters?
