Ukrainian Pilots Learn to Fly F-16 Fighter Jets in Denmark After Completing Basic Training in the UK

In a significant milestone, the first cohort of Ukrainian pilots, who received training from the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the United Kingdom, are now undergoing flight training to operate F-16 fighter jets in Denmark. This development follows their successful completion of a basic training program in the UK.

The RAF initiated flying and English language training for these Ukrainian pilots in August as part of the United Kingdom’s contribution to the international Air Force Capability Coalition for Ukraine. This coalition involves collaborative efforts by allies and partners to enhance Ukraine’s air capabilities.
