In August, soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) will be trained to fly F-16 fighter jets. This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“This month, training of our Ukrainian military to pilot the F-16 will begin,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said during a meeting with the heads of foreign diplomatic institutions of Ukraine. The Ukrainian leader stressed that deliveries of American F-16 fighters to Kyiv should begin as soon as possible. The broadcast was conducted on the youtube channel of the Office of the President of Ukraine.
Zelensky has long demanded that Western countries hand over F-16 fighter jets to him. According to him, this will help the Armed Forces of Ukraine to resist Russia in the air. Foreign partners promised transfer fighters Ukraine, as soon as the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine learn to manage them. UK and USA promised conduct training at their training grounds.
