Ukrainian Air Force pilots say they are eager to learn how to fly F-16 fighter jets and use them in combat against Russian forces. A coalition of nations, including the United States and eight European countries, are partnering to expedite the training. VOA's Myroslava Gongadze spoke with some of Ukraine's battle-tested pilots about what is to come. #ukraine #f16 #voanews #news

For anyone wondering about training time...After seeing the UKR pilots performance in the simulators here in the US, the time-frame was moved to about 4 months. We vastly underestimated their abilities as have the Russians.

F16s will take time to train their crews. At present, it takes approximately two years to move F-16 pilots from the simulator to mastery of the F-16s itself. At this moment the Saab JAS 39 Gripen could be better choice.

How exactly will Gripen training take faster , than F-16 ? We need only F-16 because we can not handle several a/c types in our country - it costs a lot . F-16 has large amount and variety of weapon options can be carried by single airplane . Gripen are great - but unfortunately we can not handle it

Facts it’ll take the ukraine piolts years of training to operate the f-16s effectively enough to shoot down highly trained russian pilots who have had decades of training with their jets.. Sending f16s now is a mistake will be a waste of resources and money it’ll also put our jets in the hands of russians..

They will get a lot more than that. Between the F18 and F16 they should field a good amount. A few Gripen that could fire the meteor missiles would be nice, even if it was 2 to 6. This will NOT be a total game changer, but it will be a massive help in many ways and could tilt it in Ukraines favor.

The HARM missile is deadlier with the F16 , plus it will give long Range Air to Air missiles. The early warning systems are massively better than the M29 that Ukraine has. You are dreaming if you think they will not make a difference. The Ukrainians are using the M29 right now and are causing Russia massive issues. This will up it multiple times. Still neither side will own the Air.
