US to Start Training Ukrainian Pilots on F-16 in October in Arizona
Earlier, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store confirmed that the government intended to deliver jets to Ukraine.
The United States will start training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 aircraft in October after their English language training in October, Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder said on Thursday.
"The United States will soon begin training Ukrainians to fly and maintain F-16 fighter aircraft in support of the international effort to develop and strengthen Ukraine's long-term defenses," Ryder said. "Following English language training for pilots in September, F-16 flying training is expected to begin in October at Morris Air National Guard Base in Tucson, Arizona, facilitated by the Air National Guard's 100 and 62nd wing."
Ryder went on to say that the Pentagon is anticipating that all the pilots coming to the United States will require some level of additional English language instruction to fly these aircraft.
"We will remain in close consultation with the Danes, the Dutch, and other allies to ensure US training complements the broader coalition training," he added.
According to Ryder, the Pentagon foresaw in advance that the training capacity of
Denmark and the Netherlands would be exhausted quite quickly and therefore decided to conduct training in the United States instead of
Europe.
Norwegia will become the third
provider of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. On Monday, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that Denmark would send 19 F-16s to Kiev, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Netherlands had pledged to supply another 42. During a meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Athens, Zelensky also said that
Greece had offered to train Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16 fighter jets.
