Fighters for Ukraine
In mid-May, during the G7 summit, United States President Joe Biden spoke out in support of training Ukrainian pilots on American F-16 fighters. From that moment on, the issue of training and the upcoming transfer of aircraft began to gain momentum.
According to Pentagon chief Austin Lloyd, training could begin in the coming weeks. In particular, during the next meeting of Ramstein, the parties also raised the above issues. It is expected that next week, as Austin said, the appropriate training infrastructure will be developed.
