No immediate effect is expected from receiving the F-16, as the pilots have to adapt to Ukrainian airspace
Kyiv • UNN
Ukraine should not expect a quick effect from receiving F-16s, as pilots need time to get used to Ukrainian airspace, and the number and modification of the F-16s received will determine their effectiveness in performing complex tasks.
The targets that the F-16s will be able to strike will be determined by the military leadership, but no quick effect should be expected, as the pilots have to get used to Ukrainian airspace.
The Air Force spokesman Ilya Yevlash said this during the telethon, UNN reports .
Details
Of course, the goals will be determined by our leadership, but we should understand that we should not expect a quick effect, as we must understand that the pilots must get used to the airspace of Ukraine, as combat missions are somewhat different from training flights. In addition, we understand that we will be receiving F-16s partially. Of course, in order to effectively perform tasks of varying complexity, we need a lot of these aircraft. Everything will depend on how many and what modification they will be delivered to Ukraine
Recall
The United States is focused on getting Ukraine F-16 fighters this summer. Opportunities for pilot training exist, both in the United States and among some of its coalition partners.
