“I would say this could happen next spring as we have started training our pilots, engineers and technicians,” the Ukrainian minister said.
At the same time, he noted that it is necessary to prepare the infrastructure for aviation in Ukraine. Reznikov believes that this work could last six months or “a little more”, reports TASS.
Bild stressed that air superiority today belongs to Russia. Reznikov expressed the view that the use of the F-16 would be a “big turning point” in the conflict.
It was previously reported that the United States will begin training Ukrainian pilots on the F-16 in October at a base in Arizona. But first, in September, they will have an English course.
