The air force announced this on May 10.
I thank everyone who is helping Ukraine strengthen its aviation component. Of course, in addition to the F-16s themselves, we need to create a powerful educational and material base for our youth. I urge our allies to join this initiative, PS commander Nikolai Oleshchuk wrote in his Telegram channel.
Some Ukrainian pilots are already completing training on the F-16. This was announced earlier on May 9 by the speaker of the Air Force Command, Ilya Yevlash.
Preparation is continuous, this process continues constantly at different levels. We already have pilots completing training on the F-16. And as soon as the fighters arrive in Ukraine, these pilots will be ready to carry out combat missions right in the airspace in the Ukrainian sky,” Yevlash said.
