Pilot F-16.

This is coolbert:

"'The pilots will first receive English language training in Texas and then begin months of flight training in Arizona, said the U.S. official who addressed the issue on Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss future training plans.'"

"Pentagon To Send Ukrainian Pilots For F-16 Training To Texas & Arizona"

https://www.zerohedge.com | the article by TYLER DURDEN | AUG 24, 2023.

"A US official has informed The New York Times on Thursday that the Pentagon plans to begin training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets inside the US, as part of a program which could start as early as September."

"Already a program has been kicked off in the Netherlands and Denmark, which Kiev has complained has been too slow to get off the ground, also given it only includes six Ukrainian pilots. At this rate, the expected date that Ukraine could be piloting the US-made jets in battle keeps getting pushed back - from estimates of next summer to now perhaps end of 2024."

[....]

"'That’s the condition. So, if Denmark and the Netherlands are taking the lead on training, if they just do not have the capacity … to train as many pilots as Ukraine wants to send or plans to send, then we will… help train stateside,'" 

And the ground crews and maintenance staff are going to receive training where? Norway, Holland, Denmark donate the aircraft but much more to put these planes in the air in combat where they can make a difference. And not until the end of 2024. But learn English first!
