☆ Ukrainian pilots have been taking English classes in between their missions to prepare to fly US-made jets

Ukrainian pilots have been taking English classes between missions. The pilots are training to use US-made F-16 jets in their war against Russia. And once they begin F-16 training, they'll have to take another English language course in the UK. The differences between US-made F-16s and Ukraine's current Soviet-made MiG-29s and Su-27s jets will likely be a learning curve for Ukrainian pilots. Ukraine's jets have already been modified to use some Western weapons systems like the AGM-88 high-speed anti-radiation missile, which disables and destroys enemy radars.

☆ Ukraine says coveted F-16s 'four or five times' better than its Soviet jets
  + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( Max Hunder | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
KYIV, April 6 (Reuters) - A top Ukrainian air commander said Ukraine was in dire need of F-16 fighter jets, which he described on Thursday as "four or five times" more effective than the Soviet-era planes currently used by Ukraine. Serhiy Holubtsov, one of the most senior commanders in the Air Force, said that while donations of Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets by allies were an "important step," the planes did not fully meet Ukraine's battlefield requirements. NATO members Poland and Slovakia recently began to hand over MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, as Kyiv prepares for a much-vaunted counter-offensive to retake territory occupied by Russia. Washington has ruled out sending F-16 jets to Ukraine for now, and U.S. officials have estimated the most expeditious time needed for training and delivery at 18 months. Holubtsov said there was a possibility of having foreign pilots fly Ukrainian jets, but that they would only be useful when flying aircraft which they have already been trained on.
☆ Ukraine's air force is now allowing foreigners to sign up as pilots as it pushes for Western fighter jets

Ukraine's Air Force will now allow foreigners to serve as pilots, engineers, and specialists. Ukraine said that its air force has been inundated with offers from people willing to fight Russia. Yurii Ihnat, a spokesperson for the commander of Ukraine's air force, said in a statement Thursday that foreign citizens will be able to join if they have suitable military training. Despite bipartisan calls in the US for President Joe Biden's administration to send F-16s, Biden himself said on February 24 that Ukraine "doesn't need F-16s now." Serhii Holubtsov, chief of aviation of Ukraine's Air Force, however, told The Times of London that Ukrainian fighter pilots would be ready to fly F-16 jets after fewer than six months of training.
