  • At a secret location in southwestern France, a young Ukrainian pilot kept a tight grip on the controls of an Alpha Jet trainer aircraft. The pilot - who was not allowed to speak to journalists - is a part of a 10-strong group of Ukrainians who have been undergoing accelerated six-month training in France using simulators and the twin-engined aircraft. Aged 21 to 23, the Ukrainians are undergoing the same training as French pilots but in half the time - learning how to navigate, target and shoot.

      Western jets have pretty decent thermal and IR reduction coatings and glass. Same as russian.
      However we have seen patriot systems acting like an iron dome, and yet russia could not stop american missles from 50 years ago
      We haven't even seen something like the ironman backpack system or US laser weapons fully used yet

    The fact that these pilots are young is a good thing. They don't bring with them the legacy Soviet training and tactics. This makes learning much simpler because they don't need to unlearn something they've spent their entire lives performing.

      Depends where you're getting your intel, as the narrative has always been they'll have their first operational F-16s by summer 2024, which is broadly speaking, June to August. It's taken time to train ground crew, pilots and get the supply chain for parts and weapons in place. It's not like buying a new car and passing a driving test... they are coming.
