Now the approach has changed. US instructors will be able to train Ukrainian pilots as soon as the Armed Forces command will determine them. "It is still unclear whether the United States will teach pilots that are originally intended for European training programs, whether it is an additional group," the journalists said.
Initially, it was expected that the White House would officially announce it on Thursday, when Ukraine celebrates the 32nd day of independence, but at the time of the material the material did not happen. The anonymous American official also commented on rumors. He noted that the pilots will first need to undergo English language teaching in Texas and only then will the plan of multi -agreed pilot training in Arizona will begin to implement.
Several European countries have already agreed to teach the Armed Forces pilots on modern F-16 fighters. Initially, it was about the Netherlands and Denmark. Then Greece joined the coalition, and on Independence Day it became known about Portugal's decision to help Ukraine. "Portugal is a participant in our tank and aviation coalition.
Today Portugal has confirmed the readiness to prepare Ukrainian pilots and engineering warehouse on F-16 aircraft," said Vladimir Zelensky after negotiations with the colleague of Marcel Rebel de Soz. On August 24, it was noted that Norway decided to give Ukraine fighters F-16 and thus became a third country that decided on this step. On August 20, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine will receive 42 F-16 fighters.
