Deliberate delays to F-16 training will mean more jets than pilots, Ukrainian MP says

Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Norway have so far pledged more than 70 jets to Ukraine to be delivered from 2024 onwards.

Ukraine will have only 20 pilots who have fully completed the F-16 training program by the end of 2024.

12 pilots are being trained in Denmark, only 8 pilots being trained in Arizona
