APU pilots will be able to fly American F-16 fighters, said Republican Senator Jim Rish. He met with Ukrainian pilots and sees no serious problems with his studies.
Listen, when we fought in Vietnam and Korea, the Russians supplied both planes and pilots for our opponents. It’s time for the United States to answer them the same, – Risha is quoted by Ukrayinska Pravda.
He dismissed the claim that such US assistance “would escalate,” but added that there was currently no majority in the US Congress to decide on the transfer of the aircraft. at the same time, Rish believes that Ukraine should be provided with F-16 fighter jets.
Someone says, “Oh no, this will escalate.” But listen, when we fought in Vietnam and Korea, the Russians supplied both planes and pilots for our opponents! It’s time for the US to respond in kind. I am fully prepared to vote for such a move. I have met with Ukrainian pilots and I think they can use the F-16. Yes, some training is needed, but there are no serious problems,” the senator said.
In August, Rakurs wrote that a center for virtual training to fly American A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft was created in Ukraine, although Kyiv and Washington have not yet decided on the supply of these “birds”.
