Ukrainian Air Force denied information about training F-15 and F-16 pilots in the U.S
Some web-resources once again got ahead of the game, stating that in the USA Ukrainian pilots are already trained to fly fighters F-15 and F-16.
What is known
The speaker of the Air Forces of the AFU Yury Ignat had to deny the information. According to him, first of all it is necessary to take some political decisions and decide what kind of planes will be delivered to the Armed Forces. Only after that we can start training pilots.
The speaker noted that the media could have misinterpreted the Pentagon's words about allocating $100 million to train Ukrainian pilots. Yuri Ignat states that the funds are allocated for 2023, but there is a possibility that they will be used as early as 2022. But for this, as noted above, it is necessary to decide on the type of aircraft.
