Anyone know about how long it takes to train a F-16 pilot? I imagine language barriers would cost time too.

When this stupid plan was approved, the pilots (who are already trained as Ukraine Air Force jet pilots) were supposed to be trained and flying over Ukraine by now. That was somewhere past "ambitious schedule" and a lot closer to "full on lie".

Won't be until next year and they won't fly near the types of missions that would need to in order to make a difference.

Two years in the US air force.

But none of this matters, this is all about optics and continuing the money flow, not an actual military victory on the ground.
