“Ukraine is actively seeking US-made F-16 fighter jets to counter Russian air superiority,” the article reads. “Washington has given Denmark and the Netherlands official assurances that the United States will expedite approval of all the third-party requests necessary to transfer F-16s to Ukraine.” “.
Denmark and the Netherlands, the two countries leading the coalition to train Ukrainian pilots, recently requested such guarantees. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken sent letters to his Danish and Dutch counterparts, assuring them that the requests would be honored.
We recall, earlier, the Washington Post reported that the first group of six Ukrainians will complete training on the F-16 next summer.
The multifunctional light fighter-interceptor F-16 Fighting Falcon (“Fighting Falcon”) was developed in 1974. It is the most massive fourth-generation fighter. It is in service with more than 30 countries.
