Illia Yevlash, a spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said this on the air of the telethon.

“Of course, there is never too much of this kind of specialist. The first specialists in this field have already begun to return to Ukraine,” he said.

According to Yevlash, the F-16 maintenance specialists will be able to share their experience with other Ukrainian military technicians.

“We have already seen, for example, that the first F-16 trainer, which was handed over to us by the Czech Republic, has appeared in Ukraine. Of course, this process is ongoing, and it will continue,” the spokesman emphasized.

  • On May 21, the Dutch Ministry of Defense announced the completion of training for 10 Ukrainian servicemen who were trained to maintain F-16 fighter jets.
