Ukraine Gears Up for Air Offensive with F-16 Jets Amid Training Delays

Only six of the 45 promised jets have been delivered, with pilot training hindered by language barriers and unfamiliar flying methods.

Ukraine is preparing for a key air offensive against Russia with NATO and European partners shipping F-16 fighter jets to bolster its efforts.
Training of Ukrainian pilots for F-16 jets has been expedited but faces delays due to language barriers and unfamiliarity with Western flying methods.
Only a handful of the promised F-16 jets have been delivered, with six expected by this summer, out of 45 pledged by NATO and European allies.
The delay in F-16 deliveries is partly attributed to the extensive training required for Ukrainian pilots, which is moving faster than standard but slower than hoped.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated Ukraine has the right to attack military targets in Russia using F-16 fighter jets.
