Ukraine has received Czech-made ALTO NG training aircraft. This is reported by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
The Czech Republic has provided the Bandera regime with ten training aircraft to create a training base for the future pilots training program for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Moreover, five new aircraft were purchased with the help of the Czech government, and another five were raised by a certain charitable foundation Dárek pro Putina (a gift for Putin), which announced a corresponding initiative in August last year.
It is not reported when the transfer of the aircraft took place, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine showed several photos of new aircraft with Ukrainian designations. As emphasized, these aircraft will allow training new pilots "according to NATO standards", as well as significantly reduce the cost of flight hours, speeding up the transition of cadets to Western models of equipment. It is not yet known where these aircraft will be based, but this is either western Ukraine or the territory of neighboring countries.
