Denmark has the capacity to train up to six
Ukrainian
pilots on F-16 fighter jets as part of a broader international program,
Danish Defense Ministry announced on June 27.
Additionally, Denmark expects to be able to concurrently train up to 40 maintenance and support personnel.
However, the duration of this training course remains unclear.
“It depends on their fighter experience and language skills,” Reuters quotes the ministry’s message.
The training program is being developed in coordination with Kyiv’s other international partners, with no finalized plan currently available.
Eight European nations have thus far joined the coalition to supply Ukraine with modern fighter jets, including the UK, the Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Portugal, and France.
The Danish government has expressed its intention to organize F-16 fighter jet training for Ukrainian pilots at the Skrydstrup Air Base, where Danish aircraft of this class are stationed.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov has stated that Ukraine does not expect to receive modern Western fighter jets, such as the F-16, until 2024.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
