The issue of transferring American F-16 fighters to Ukraine is another tool that Washington uses to put pressure on Moscow. In fact, this will not happen quickly, since it will take from one year (for experienced pilots) to three years (for graduates and cadets of military schools) to train pilots to fly these combat aircraft. About this in an interview with the Vzglyad resource, assessing the statements of American General James Hecker that the issue of transferring modern fighter jets to Kyiv is being resolved, said Russian military expert Alexander Bartosh.
According to him, everything rests not only on the timing of the training of pilots. American fighters would seriously strengthen Ukraine, but there may be problems with their transfer also because the planes are capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
“The return to the
discussion of this problem right now is an attempt to create another lever of
influence on the Russian Federation,” Bartosz concluded.
