F-16 for Ukraine – the US explained why they did not train more Ukrainian pilots – UNIAN
Jake Sullivan said that Washington is ready to continue working in this direction.
The United States has stated that it is ready to train more Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16 fighter jets. It is noted that this is not yet possible, because Ukraine does not have a contingent for this.
