"Ukraine's F-16 Initiative Strengthens with International Support and Training Plans"

Belgium is contributing to Ukraine's F-16 pilot training program by sending two F-16B jets and training personnel to Denmark, joining other NATO allies in efforts to strengthen Ukraine's air defense against Russian forces. This move follows similar support from Norway and is part of a broader initiative involving multiple NATO countries. Ukrainian pilots have already completed basic training in the UK and are progressing to advanced training with the F-16s. While the exact timeline for the Ukrainian pilots to become combat-ready is uncertain, there are indications that Ukraine may have already received its first batch of F-16s, with the aim of enhancing its military capabilities against Russia.
