Ukrainian Prime Minister Shmyhal announced the sending of the first group of pilots of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to study in the UK

The first group of Ukrainian pilots went to the UK to learn how to fly Western-made fighter jets, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal announced.

The Ukrainian official met with British Foreign Secretary James Claverley, who arrived in Kyiv. The parties discussed the support of Ukraine by Britain, the supply of military aid, Ukraine's entry into NATO, as well as the training of Ukrainian pilots on the F-16. Shmygal thanked the representative of Britain for creating a "fighter coalition" and readiness to assist in the training of pilots. According to the Ukrainian prime minister, the first groups have already left for the United Kingdom.

Today, the training of our pilots is on the agenda, the first groups have already been sent to the UK. On the battlefield, the Ukrainian armed forces are being reformatted according to NATO standards

- said the prime minister.

According to Shmygal, Kiev hopes that all issues related to the supply of aircraft will be resolved at the next meeting of the Rammstein contact group on Ukraine. Claverly assured that Britain would support Kyiv for as long as necessary to win.

Earlier in Kyiv, they announced the creation of a "fighter coalition", which included eight European countries, including the UK. The main contenders for the supply of fighter jets to Ukraine are Denmark and the Netherlands, which will transfer the F-16 to Kyiv. In total, Ukraine wanted to receive at least 120 fighters.

So that the number of their takeoffs is equal to one and the number of landings is not one!

I wonder how much their education will cost ordinary Ukrainians?
Shmygal doesn't give a damn about them. Me too, by the way.
But I would just like to know these numbers, and of course they are considerable.
After all, the Britons will never do anything just like that, especially for nothing.

These critters invest in killing, so it's not for nothing.

These flyers will remain there. They will scream about political asylum and, “forgive Ridna and unforgiving.” They will also find work for themselves there, dishwashers.

That's how much I've been listening to the statements of the British about their readiness to train Ukrainian pilots on the F-16, but I still can't understand, but where is the training center for F-16 pilots in the UK? If they do not have aircraft of this type.
