US and G7 Allies Agree to Provide F-16 Fighter Jets and Training to Ukraine
TL;DR Summary
The US has agreed to support providing advanced fighter jets, including F-16s, to Ukraine and to train Ukrainian pilots to fly them. President Zelensky has been requesting fighter jets for months, and the decision is expected to "greatly enhance" Ukraine's air force. Other nations can export their F-16s to Ukraine with US approval. The US had been sceptical about providing Ukraine with modern fighter jets, but the change in policy is significant. However, training pilots to fly F-16 jets will take time, and nations will need to agree to supply the jets.
