The US Air Force will assess the level of training of Ukrainian pilots

The US Air Force will assess the level of training of pilots of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to determine the timing of their possible training in piloting a western combat aviation, including American F-16 fighters. The first Ukrainian pilots have already arrived in the United States. It is reported by the NBC channel.

The Pentagon decided to assess the level of training of pilots of the Armed Forces of Ukraine before undertaking their training. The Americans came up with a new program, allocated funds for it, and now Ukrainian pilots began to arrive in the United States for this very testing. The first two pilots of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already in the United States, at an air base in Arizona, where this program will be implemented.



According to the channel, the level of training and the availability of skills will be assessed on simulators installed at a military base. In the near future, eight more Ukrainian pilots will arrive there, in total, the Americans will test ten Ukrainians, after which a decision will be made to start training pilots of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This program is designed to evaluate their capabilities so that we can advise them on how they can best use their funds and those that we have provided them.

- said one of the US military.

Despite the launch of the testing program, the United States does not change its decision to refuse to supply combat aircraft to Ukraine, Kyiv will definitely not receive fighter jets from the Americans. But the option of supplying one of the European countries to the United States will be supported. Washington does not mind if Denmark and the Netherlands transfer their fighters to Ukraine. But not at the moment. Now all the forces of the West are focused on preparing the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the spring offensive.

      It's not a "bench press", but a calculation. Anglo-Saxon blood is too expensive when there are proto-Sumers ..

      I think "peacekeeping contingents" are just around the corner, in the event of a collapse of defense, according to international laws, Ukraine can seek help, everything will legally be legal ... There will be no-fly zones, etc., a very real scenario ...

    This is the beginning of aviation deliveries to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, there is no doubt they will definitely be. The reconstruction of the First World War on our part will not lead to good ((((((

    all Americans will test ten Ukrainians, after which a decision will be made to start training pilots of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
    Will all ten pass the test and how many do they plan to recruit for retraining? At the same time, the Americans, in the matter of supplying aircraft, as well as with tanks, want to supposedly stay on the sidelines, graciously granting this right to the Europeans. Interestingly, will volunteers who want to fly over the "Ukrainian steppes" (everything suggests that such a need will definitely arise) also be recruited from Europeans or will they also invite their own?

    And how will they evaluate them? In inches, as the caliber of the main guns
    battleships? In points, like on IQ tests? Real battles shot down, not shot down
    it is unlikely to be, but without this the skill of the pilots and the quality of the cars
    appreciate it. In general, the next series of "Top gun".

    They need to cook a couple of hundred, but they are testing a dozen? Or just no more?
    The pilots are gone.

      Trial ball. They'll see how quickly they'll be taken away and whether it's worth talking about large deliveries. Another thing is interesting here - "Where will they be based?"
      In addition to flyers, aircraft technicians are also needed. The training of techies is also not an easy or quick task, and therefore it will be NATO specialists. On the territory of Ukraine, they can be thrown out at airfields along with equipment. If they fly from the territory of Poland or Romania, then this can be regarded as an "invitation" for Russian missiles to strike at their airfields. winked

      So they were not sent to cook, but for a pre-check. This is a normal practice for 5-10 people. Based on the pre-check, the volume of the training program is formed. Even camels from Bahrain or Morocco are trained on the F-16. It just needs a correction of the training program, based on the basic level and abilities. It is this level that will now be clarified.

        That's right - another example from life. University, the very first English lesson. The teacher conducts the level of knowledge of students in the group for the level of preparation and correction of the program. And only then does the training begin.

    It won’t get it from the Americans, I don’t even doubt it, but it’s very possible from the Europeans. Europe will ruin its fleet, but where to replenish it? Well, of course, buy from Uncle Sam

    They will do this for the final excuse, such as your pilots do not know how to fly "as they should", so you won't get "our" planes.
    And he wakes up to fumble at the expense of the supply of EU aircraft.
    With the Abrams, they did it ugly, so they will do it more gracefully with the planes.

    Saying to get married does not mean getting married, I can imagine how much these pilots paid to get off the outskirts, as a rule, those warriors were still supporters, we’ll shoot downs in Polish moments.
