The peculiarities of preparation of groups of pilots F-16 of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Ilya Yevlash told in a comment to the portal "Ukrinform". According to Yevlash, four groups of pilots are being prepared abroad. Of these, two groups - those who study in the data and the US - went to the final stage. Among other things, they have already gone to training the goals that they will meet when they return to Ukraine.
The F-16 will be used against the small-scale Shahaneda and managed aviation missiles,-the spokesman said. There are two more groups - in the United Kingdom and France. The pilots in Britain are in the stage of language learning. Pilots in France-study the F-16 control system. When the term of training of the most prepared pilots groups is completed, the air force spokesman did not say. He also did not answer when the Western F-16 would appear in Ukraine.
"It is not necessary to speak about the timing. Our partners are not verbose. Everything related to the F-16 is carried out behind closed doors. This strategic uncertainty gives us an advantage in suddenness," the officer emphasized. Yevlash also explained that Ukraine is engaged in renewing the means of counteracting the air attacks of the Russian Federation. He did not tell about the details in view of the OSINT research, which is also able to carry out the enemy.
However, the presenter noted that they carry out some re -equipment of existing aircraft and the result will be a "surprise" for the enemy. It should be noted that in the summer of 2023, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, together with representatives of Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States and a number of other countries, found the so -called "aircraft coalition".
Thanks to this coalition, the Armed Forces promised to provide, approximately, about 60 F-16 fighters. The exact date of appearance of the F-16 in Ukraine is unknown. The media outlines experts who talk about the beginning of the summer of 2024. There are also statements that planes can only appear until the fall or winter 2024, or even in the early 2025. We remind that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, since March 22, 2024, resumed massive rocket-aromic blows in Ukraine.
