TL;DR Summary

A coalition of Western countries is considering Romania as a possible location to train Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16 fighter jets, indicating that NATO countries are moving closer to starting a program that could see the warplanes above Ukrainian skies within months. The group is negotiating a contract to conduct the aircraft training at a site in Romania, and it's likely that Lockheed Martin, which builds the F-16, would conduct the training. The Netherlands and Denmark are leading the multinational training effort, but the partners have not yet settled the question of which countries would provide the aircraft required for training.
