Yurii Ihnat, the spokesman of the Ukrainian Air Force, said that Ukrainian pilots continue training on F-16 fighters.

He noted that at this stage the pilots of the Armed Forces are already practicing tactical techniques.

‘They are actually practicing strikes on air and ground targets. After all, it is important to learn to not only fly airplanes and control the airspace. They have to fight,’ he stated.

Ihnat added that the training of ground personnel, who are learning to maintain fighter jets, their weapons and their programming, is also ongoing.

He explained that this is necessary in order for fighter jets to work as efficiently as possible in the sky of Ukraine, to destroy air, ground and surface targets.

In addition, infrastructure is being prepared and adapted in Ukraine ‘at certain sites so that these aircraft can be used from our airfields’.
