Ukraine has been waiting months for F-16s to arrive in the country after several NATO countries pledged to deliver the jets for Kyiv's war effort.
France will train more than two dozen Ukrainian pilots to fly Western-provided F-16 fighter jets in the next few years, according to a new report.Tensions between Kyiv and its allies have been growing over training programs for Ukrainian pilots and the number of pilots being prepared for F-16s to arrive in Ukraine.Paris will train 26 Ukrainian pilots between 2024 and 2026, French newspaper Le Monde reported on Monday.
Kyiv's backers have stipulated that Ukrainian personnel must complete their training programs, and that all the necessary infrastructure and facilities be up and running in the country, before the jets become operational.Ukrainian pilots are also receiving training with the U.S. military at Tucson, Arizona, and at a Danish air base. Pilots are also set to receive instruction at an F-16 training hub in southeast Romania.
