By summer 2030, F-16’s will be operating in Ukraine.
Take-Home Message:
Western countries, along with the United States, are considering extending the training of Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets to address Kyiv’s need for more trained pilots. This training, conducted across several countries, is deemed necessary to ensure the effective maintenance and operation of the F-16s. Discussions include expanding training in the U.S. and potentially involving EU contractors for maintenance tasks. The first batch of F-16s is expected to arrive in Ukraine by the summer, with a total of up to 20 jets anticipated by the end of 2024.
