A coalition of nations, including the United States and eight European countries, are partnering to expedite the training. VOA's Myroslava Gongadze spoke with some of Ukraine's battle-tested pilots about what is to come. #ukraine #f16 #voanews #news

Godspeed Ukraine!💛💙💪
Imagine how scared Russian pilots would be if they saw a couple of F-22s all of a sudden in the battlefield 😂
They would never see it!
Just don’t give UP.... succes..... needs determination...
Thankyou brave and valorous pilots of Ukraine... may the Creator of us all protect and help you in your struggle... Glory to Ukraine and all FREEDOM loving countries...
For anyone wondering about training time...After seeing the UKR pilots performance in the simulators here in the US, the time-frame was moved to about 4 months. We vastly underestimated their abilities as have the Russians.
You made that up. You know nothing.
Noice!
Ukraine will be the future experts and teachers of utilizing all of the F16's battle capabilities and more following this war.
victory for ukraine

Why do you support Ukranian nazis ?
Oooh very clever. Wish I'd thought to say that. Hadn't occurred to me until I saw your comment. A smart one, you are!
@@joeybagodonuts6683 And your an a$$hole. Straight up!!! A trumpet no doubt.
May the Ukranian pilots fly faster than Hermes! 🙂
How admirable these young warriors are...✈️✈️✈️❤️❤️🙏💪
Ukrainian top secret stealth technologies.
Ghost of Kiev
Lets see if they are still eager after the first dozen of F-16 are downed quickly by russian air defense.
The turning rate is STILL the the smallest of anny 4th generation. Big mouth F16s, will be smaller with turning rate.
F16s will take time to train their crews. At present, it takes approximately two years to move F-16 pilots from the simulator to mastery of the F-16s itself. At this moment the Saab JAS 39 Gripen could be better choice.
somehow / someway they will HAVE it ! :)
Ofc they might get killed if they arent trained properly or if the mission they receive is too ambitious :(
But thats a risk they are willing to take
How exactly will Gripen training take faster , than F-16 ? We need only F-16 because we can not handle several a/c types in our country - it costs a lot . F-16 has large amount and variety of weapon options can be carried by single airplane . Gripen are great - but unfortunately we can not handle it
Ukrainians learn fast. They wore out the U.S. experts who were training them on M142 HIMARS because they didn't want to take even a 15 minute break. Amazing heroics.
There are more F16 available than the Gripen.
Facts it’ll take the ukraine piolts years of training to operate the f-16s effectively enough to shoot down highly trained russian pilots who have had decades of training with their jets.. Sending f16s now is a mistake will be a waste of resources and money it’ll also put our jets in the hands of russians..

Slawa Ukraine✌️👏💪💓 besser als Russland Army ⚰️⚰️⚰️💝😴😴😴😴👎
Ofcourse it have capability to fire P.U.N.C.H.S weapon, where MiG-29 & Sukhoi SU-27 can't do that.
Will Ukraine receive the Ai.artificial intelligent vertions.
F-16 and F-15 and Gripen and Wharthog A 10 Thumtherbolt will come soon. The helicopters for attack and all the others types are already coming.
After just six months of language, and six months of flight school, Ukraine’s pilots will not be fully competent to fly NATO-gifted American-made F-16 fighter jets, retired US Air Force Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski told Sputnik.
Yeah no sht. In other news- water is wet.
Javelin, HIMARS, Leopard2, Bradley,..., all were 'Game Changer's. Now the same fate awaits F-16, end up in 'Scrap Yard'
Ну назвався Кожедуб, то тягни
Glory for Ukrine🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏May GOD Will protect you and protect the Sky 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦be Brave my Heroes Ukrina Soldier’s we Will praying 🙏 for y all❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The Ukrainian people need 20-30 F-16’s and this war will be over in a year.
Dream on. They'll go the same way the tanks did.
They will get a lot more than that. Between the F18 and F16 they should field a good amount. A few Gripen that could fire the meteor missiles would be nice, even if it was 2 to 6. This will NOT be a total game changer, but it will be a massive help in many ways and could tilt it in Ukraines favor.
@@a_true_one7696 Ukrainians took out far more Russian Tanks. 2,001 so far.
The ancient Indian MIG 21 destroyed Pakistan's F16 in a real fight a few years ago 😅😅😅
I would like to see Ukraine receive the Hermes hyper-sonic drones.
I hope the Ukranians know a good 70-75% of Americans fully support them. A tiny pro Trump minority does not -- but most of us do.
Fake Story..😂😂😂😂
Its like giving cavemen a blaster from star wars 😂
putin has a blaster now?
Ground Russias sukhoi terror jets permanently.
Can Russia kill any Ukraine pilots in UK or Belgium, as they are out on the town? Iran killed Saudi pilots in Las Vegas a few years back.
Why does it take years for A-10 combat veteran pilot in US Air Force to transition to F-15 Strike Eagle? He went to another training base for a year after his year at Luke...
Victory belongs to Ukraine, victory belongs to justice, victory belongs to civilization, and Russia's barbaric behavior is rejected
There must be a type-o , it reads eager to USE f-16 , it must mean eager to LOSE f-16
Take your copium. You will feel better.
They had f-16s at the beginning of this war & they all got knocked down. USA & NATO needs to stop before half of the west stockpiles are gone , because when they are China's going to be like a shark smelling blood.
@@stischer47 If there's somebody to take copium after that armored battalion massacre, it's the Beggensky cheerleaders. Man, imagine their collective faces when all the trucks were hit back-to-back.
That mine exploding that HUMVEE and their occupants was horrible!
Is Ukraine still exist?
You will die and Ukraine still here 😂
Yes, but Russia may not soon.
It's a beautiful American colony!
🤣🤣🤣🤣No airfield, no fuel, no service crew, no time to train pilots but plenty of Russian anti-air ready to shoot them should they foolishly appear. I guess that armored battalion massacre wasn't enough for the Kiev regime. 🤡
Cope harder, Vatnik
Troll alert
😂😂😂😂😂
@@salamandermike6715 Your Saliva Urina Reddit gang morale must be at an all-time low after seeing that smoking armored junkyard, huh? Like a punch in a gut to see your overhyped game-changing Leopards and other extremely expensive NATO hardware again failing miserably on the killing fields. Beggensky knows he failed his NATO masters. 😱 Again, zero return on his tanks.
At least your Banderite imbeciles can hit civilians, dams and infrastructures, much easier targets that don’t strike back!

America is really pushing its luck and we all remember what happened last time they did that.
Choosing to be on Ukraine's side is not "pushing your luck". It's the right thing to do in every way.💛💙💪
Yeah! last time they did that and found 178 Russian soliders dead in syria with some wagner mercenaries with in one night lol😂.
Opt out of Nato and let Eastern Ukraine be annexed.... No to the Nazis
Join NATO and drive the Russian Nazis out of Ukraine...no to Russian Nazis.
Russia is currently Naziciding Ukrainistan, don't you worry.
Putler worshiper spotted
Maybe you should be more concerned with far right Nazis in the US...
@@PrinceAmac The real Nazis German descendants live in Ukraine..
Brandon planned to expanded the war.
In reality Ukro/Nato pilots average 1.4 flights or less than 30 minutes in the air before being shut down.
in war thunder reality?
The S400’s will recalibrate your bluster.
The HARM missile is deadlier with the F16 , plus it will give long Range Air to Air missiles. The early warning systems are massively better than the M29 that Ukraine has. You are dreaming if you think they will not make a difference. The Ukrainians are using the M29 right now and are causing Russia massive issues. This will up it multiple times. Still neither side will own the Air.
who cares about ukraine.
A lot more people than cares for Russia right now
You spent the time to comment, so obviously you do.
You mean the breadbasket of the world? Why would anyone care about a million tons of grain?
