Are we going to be sending them pilots as well or do they just expect them to start the long training process to learn how to fly them and hope the pointless (but Russia's fault) war lasts long enough to use them?
Your answer is in the first paragraph of the source.
Expecting people to actually read an article ? What a weird idea
Oh... well, shit.
Well it is a shitposting sub so I think you get a pass on not doing the homework
Thank fuck. We were getting dangerously close to credibility.
The pilots will be Ukrainian from what I understand. But the planes are owned by the respective countries. The only reason for the sensationalist headline, beside clickbait, is because the F-16 is an American made fighter jet.
The fact the f16 is US made means a country cannot give it to another country without the US approval. It is the case for all armaments. The producing country must allow the transfer.
This is true. But the headlines like to make it appear as though they are from US bases
As I understand it (but have no source) there are Ukraine pilots being trained on the F-16 stateside
