Ukrainian pilots can start using the F-16 in combat as early as February 2024

According to The Wall Street Journal with reference to officials from Ukraine and the USA, the first pilots with good command of English can be trained in five months. It is noted that this is the assessment of the Ukrainian side.

The first group of less than 10 is expected to begin training at Morris Air National Guard Base in Tucson, Arizona. They are the first to switch to the F-16. At the same time, dozens of Ukrainian pilots will start learning English at the Lakeland Air Base in San Antonio.

The American side is more restrained in its forecasts. The publication writes that the F-16 requires approximately 16 hours of maintenance on the ground for every hour the machine is in the air. Training technicians can be more difficult than training pilots, the WSJ notes.

Will Putin run? Yes. They are already picking out a bunch of old guys to run against him.t.me/liveukraine_media/13705

Russian POWs well treated. Pretty soon Russians will be lining up to surrender. And that is what Ukraine wants.

This weekend, 09 - 10 September 2023, Lugansk celebrates its 10th year under occupation.

“Lugansk is waiting,” the locals replied when asked if they would welcome the Ukrainian army. Some will come out on the first day to hug their relatives who will come to liberate the city, while others already have plans to repaint the TV tower blue and yellow.

The resistance continues to fight under the occupation. Those who organize “patriotic attacks” remain here to remind that those who fight for Ukrainians remain here.

On 28 April 2014, Lugansk saw the last rally under the 🇺🇦 flag. Before this, dozens of them took place: throughout the spring, Lugansk residents took to the streets to express support for the sovereignty of Ukraine.

Let's remember how it was.
