sad how clueless the average American is. Ukraine has lost almost half of their population will all the educated citizens having fled
You do know that English is not the official language in Ukraine? If someone doesn't know English how are you going to use highly technical terms and training to a non English speaking uko in English ? lmao
They'd be lucky to find 30 now to enter a year plus year program to fly an F 16. Who is going to maintain these planes? monkeys from the Kiev zoo that don't know any English ? lol

They are talking 60-100 F-16's of European and Amercan origin.
That's what they want. So far eight have been committed, maybe, from a US Air National Guard unit.. Nobody else has committed to giving them any at this time. None of the European NATO countries that have been mentioned as possibilities (because they've ordered F-35 Raptors to replace them) are going to give up any F-16s until their F-35s arrive.
Which isn't for one to five years in most cases.
Once again, more propaganda, more lies, more deception from the media and from Ukraine's government, desperately trying to boost the USA citizenry's waning support for this war.
Ukraine requested 200 of them. I'm sure Nato and the US can scrape up 60 16's pretty easily.
Where are they going to get the pilots?
You don't suppose their are 200 pilots in Ukraine that could be trained?
