Ukrainian Air Force speaks on requirements to start training Ukrainian pilots on Western fighters

Yuriy Ihnat, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Air Force Command, shared the information on the United News national telethon.

"We have heard about pilot training and some agreements with countries in the statements of various European leaders. We heard about their readiness to provide training grounds for pilots. We know these countries. These are the UK and other countries. We are ready, but the question is still open about the type of aircraft. When the type is determined, pilots can be trained in different countries where this type of aircraft is in service, where there is a training base, because it is not only instructors who need to be there, but also flight simulators," he explained.

• Poland and Slovakia may jointly provide Ukraine with MiG-29 fighters.

• Earlier, 2 Ukrainian pilots went to the US to train on F-16 fighter jet simulators.
