Deputy Pentagon Speaker Sabrina Singh confirmed the start of language training for Ukrainian pilots who will master F-16 fighter jets in the United States in September at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas.
— Language training has not yet begun. We're hoping it will start later this month, but I don't have a specific date or more specific information on that, — she said at a briefing.
The other day, the commander of the US National Guard Air Force, Michael Law, said that after passing the English language test, Ukrainian pilots, depending on their knowledge and previous experience in fighter aircraft, can complete training at F -16 for three months.
