The West is in no hurry to supply Ukraine with F-16 fighters, according to the latest data, Kiev will receive the planes only after Ukrainian pilots have completed their piloting training, and it is delayed. All this is very annoying for the Kiev leadership, which has made another bet on combat aviation. Against this background, the Czech Republic supplied the F-16 simulator to the AFU Air Forces.
The day before, solemn events were held in Ukraine in honor of the Day of the Air Forces of Ukraine, Zelensky also participated in them, he even climbed into the cockpit of a Su-24 frontline bomber, where he posed for the Ukrainian and foreign press with a smart look. But the main event of the holiday was the transfer by the Czech Republic of a simulator for training Ukrainian pilots to control skills of an American F-16 fighter.
According to the office of the President of Ukraine, Zelensky personally tested the simulator and even managed to "hit the target" in a virtual battle, which was a Russian T-95 strategic bomber.
- it says on the website of the president's office.
Zelensky was also presented with a flight helmet as a symbol of faith that the AFU Air Forces will soon receive American F-16 fighters, which should radically change the situation on the battlefield. As emphasized in the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, air defense is a shield of Ukraine, and combat aviation is a sword. With the receipt of American aircraft, this very "sword" will become even "sharper".
