The Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom has issued a message that today in the United Kingdom the training of the first group of Ukrainian pilots in piloting F-16 fighters has been officially completed. Some NATO countries, including Denmark and the Netherlands, promised to supply such fighters to the Kiev regime.
A group of Ukrainian pilots were trained in Britain using both flight simulators simulating flight in the cockpit of an American-made fighter jet and aircraft themselves.

At the same time, the British military department, whose head, Mr. Shapps, continues to urge NATO countries to increase the level of military spending (already up to 3 percent of GDP), publishes photos with Ukrainian pilots who are trained to fly not on the F-16 (and they are not in service with the RAF), but on piston-engined light aircraft (variants "Siriuses" or "Diamonds").

From a message from the British Ministry of Defense:
Whether this means that in France they will get into the cockpit of the F-16 is not yet clear.
Judging by the photo, there are at least 7 trained pilots of the AFU in this group (Interstorm training unit):

Recall that last year, the Zelensky administration expressed the hope that F-16 fighters would begin to be delivered to Ukraine in March 2024. Today, we remind you, is March 23rd.
