NATO trains Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16 jets for combat against Russia.
TL;DR Summary
Ukrainian fighter pilots are being trained to fly F-16 jets, according to NATO's Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg. The US has yet to agree to deliver the fourth-generation US fighters to Ukraine, but the training of Ukrainian personnel is under way. It will still take months to train Ukraine's pilots, who will have previously flown mainly in Soviet-standard aircraft. Despite challenges, Ukraine has made progress in its counteroffensive against Russian forces in the east and south of Ukraine, regaining control over 40 sq miles since the weekend.
