Will test skills and experience: the Armed Forces told why Ukrainian pilots were sent to the US Air Force

This was said on March 5, a spokesman for the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Yuri Ignat in a comment to the Voice of America radio station. The US media wrote about the arrival of pilots from Ukraine to a military base in Tuson (Arizona) on March 5. Pilots will be prepared for work on the F-16 assault. Air experts will estimate how much time it takes to study if Western partners decide to send one or another type of aircraft in the future.

Consultations are conducted on the lines of diplomats and military, he explained. "If a decision is made about the type of aircraft, then we will know the number of pilots and where to send them to study. The American side studies the possibilities of our pilots, as much as they will need time to put on modern fighters," Ignat added. Another important factor is the training of engineering and aviation composition for maintenance of equipment.

1 aircraft requires 10 or more experts who will operate and check all systems, said the speaker of the Ukrainian Air Force. The preparation of infrastructure for Western aircraft in Ukraine continues in parallel. According to Ignati, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is already working on the adaptation of airports, spare and operational aerodromes.

The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces have determined the needs of fighters, as the old park of Soviet aviation equipment works on the verge of opportunities. "These are old aircraft-storms, bombers, fighters. The youngest of them is 91, a peer of Ukrainian independence. " We need wings to protect the country. Western -type aircraft are needed with NATO countries, "the military said. The US Congress has previously said that Ukrainian pilots would not let them sit down for storming real planes.
