If this is the link, the source says no details for when or where training is.
More BS.
6 months training will equal exactly one sortie.

Sorry the link didn’t work, I was pointing to the fact that Netherlands has already slated their F-16 fleet for retirement, with joint training in the US ending last year. I’ve noticed positing to FR can be glitchy from my iPad (usually a double post).

Here is the URL to cut and paste:

Regarding Ukrainian training,

No one is expecting the F-16s to see the battlefield soon:

“Denmark said Ukrainian pilots would begin training on F-16 jets later this month, part of a coalition of 11 countries that will be involved in the training program.

Even so, Ukraine said Wednesday that it didn’t expect to receive F-16s until sometime next year.
