At an airbase in Denmark, the Danish Air Force is training the next generation of Ukrainian fighter pilots to operate F-16 "Fighting Falcon" aircraft. 

A NATO coalition, including Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, has agreed to provide their F-16 fighters to the Ukrainian Air Force free of charge. As part of this agreement, Danish instructors at Skrydstrup Air Base are providing training to Ukrainian pilots, technicians, and ground crew on the skills required for piloting and servicing F-16 fighters. The first fighters will be delivered to Ukraine's arsenal later this year.

The video of the training was posted on NATO's official YouTube channel.

 

 

In the video, a Ukrainian pilot with the call sign "Moonfish" shared his impressions of these aircraft and demonstrated his flying abilities.

He is one of the few Ukrainian pilots currently honing their skills on F-16s, which will soon be transferred to Ukraine. According to him, the aircraft has excellent maneuverability and a powerful engine, allowing for swift maneuvers.
