Ukraine will receive and put into service the Western F-16 at least from the new year, the minister said.

Ukrainian pilots will learn how to fly F-16 fighters faster than the usual six months. They are enough for four months. This was announced on Friday, June 16, by Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov in an interview with Current Time.

Assessing the prospects of Ukrainian pilots, the Minister of Defense said that they “can be surprised and learn quickly.”

“Everyone is discussing in public how long it will take Ukrainian pilots to master the F-16. It seems like a well-known time: after testing our two pilots in the United States, it is believed that up to six months will be enough.

I am optimistic that our skilled pilots with their desire and desire will surely fly faster. I mean not only flying, but free: maneuvering, at night, in pairs. I think four months is realistic,” he said.

Reznikov pointed out, that the Ukrainian staff mastered Caesar’s systems in three weeks, although the standard is at least three months: “The French, the Poles are happy! Because they not only took and completed the course, they actually performed all the tasks assigned to the crew who had been studying for three months.

“Ukrainians have mastered the Petriot air defense systems in ten weeks, although the average crew training time is ten months,” added the minister.

At the same time, he noted that there are not enough trained pilots. Ukraine will also need qualified engineers and technicians who can service fighter jets.

In addition, as the minister mentioned, it will also be necessary to prepare the infrastructure, including airports and residences.

It was previously known which of the Ukrainians would go to study on the F-16. Pilots go through a difficult choice, they have a number of requirements.

Also, the Ministry of Defense called for the required number of F-16s for Ukraine.
