First F-16 fighter jets arrive in Ukraine - Bloomberg
Ukraine receives the first delivery of F-16 fighter jets promised by the allies.
This was reported by Bloomberg, Censor.NET reports.
The newspaper points out that the deadline for the transfer of US military aircraft was the end of this month, and it was met. Anonymous sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that the number of aircraft is small.
The article notes that it is not yet clear whether Ukrainian pilots, who have been training with their Western allies in recent months, will be able to immediately use combat aircraft or whether this process will take longer.
At the same time, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, Diana Davityan, declined to comment.
As Censor.NET previously reported, the West is discussing the possibility of expanding the training of Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighters.
