The Pentagon has said the United States will be involved in providing training to Ukrainian fighter pilots on the F-16 aircraft.
At a Pentagon news conference, Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said training on the F-16 might begin in the next few weeks or months, though he couldn't yet say exactly who would be doing the training.
Last week in Japan during a meeting of G7 leaders, including those from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, President Joe Biden said the U.S. will support an effort with partners and allies to train Ukrainian fighter pilots on how to use the aircraft.
