Ukraine expects to see the first F-16 fighters in the sky soon. This was announced by the spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ilya Yevlash during a telethon, reports a correspondent of UNN.

Experts are preparing, and soon we expect to see the first F-16 aircraft in the sky, which will provide quite strong resistance to Russian aviation, support our infantry from the sky, and support other separate branches of the armed forces in the performance of their tasks

- Yevlash said.

The New York Times reportedthat by this summer 12 Ukrainian pilots will be ready to fly F-16 fighter jets after 10 months of training in Denmark, the United Kingdom and the United States. However, by the time the pilots return, only six F-16s out of a total of approximately 45 fighters will have been delivered to Ukraine. It was also reported earlier that Ukraine is preparing and adapting airfields to receive F-16s.  

The Netherlands plans to prepare six additional F-16 fighters for Ukraine. This will bring the total number of F-16s to 24. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen expressed hope that Ukraine will be able to receive Danish F-16 fighters before the summer.
