Ukrainian Fighter Pilots train with NATO F-16 Fighting Falcon



At an airbase in Denmark, the Danish Air Force has been training the next generation of Ukrainian fighter pilots to fly the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

A coalition of NATO Allies, including Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway, has agreed to donate their F-16s to the Ukrainian Air Force. As part of the deal, Danish instructors at Skrydstrup Air Base are training Ukrainian pilots, technicians and ground crew how to fly and maintain the F-16. The first jets will enter service later this year.

The Ukrainian pilots are full of praise for the F-16, noting its responsive controls and agile flight features.

The F-16 is an advanced multirole fighter, which will replace Ukraineโ€™s aging fleet of MiG-29 Fulcrums and Su-27 Flankers. Speedy, highly manoeuvrable and capable of carrying a wide range of ordnance, the F-16 will significantly strengthen Ukraineโ€™s ability to continue defending its airspace and territory against Russiaโ€™s war of aggression.

  1. Chances are high they are not going to survive it. Everything NATO has thrown to the Russians has been a failure. A failure on the Military side and a failure on the economic side. So I would suggest, don't underestimate them.

  4. It is URGENT that the West deliver the F-16 Falcon aircraft to Ukraine and move from words to actions. American planes are much better than the Russian ones and that will be seen and proven in the air battles in Ukraine.
