F-16 training for Ukrainian pilots to begin next month, confirms Pentagon | Oneindia News

The United States has confirmed that it will start training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighters from next month, joining other allies working to strengthen Ukraine’s air defences some 18 months since Russia’s invasion.

The pilots will be brought to the US in September where they will first learn English before starting their training on how to fly the advanced fighter.

The Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder said that the training in Texas and Arizona would involve "several" pilots and "dozens" of personnel to maintain the aircraft.

Prior to this announcement, US President Joe Biden and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy had also discussed the training programme in a call on Thursday, the White House said.
