First F-16 maintenance specialists start returning to Ukraine – Yevlash
The first F-16 maintenance specialists have started returning to Ukraine.
Ilya Yevlash, spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said this during a telethon.
– Of course, there is never too much of this kind of specialist. The first specialists in this field have already begun to return to Ukraine,” he said.
According to the Air Force spokesman, the specialists will also be able to share their experience with other Ukrainian military technicians.
– “We have already seen, for example, that the first F-16 simulator, which was donated to us by the Czech Republic, has appeared in Ukraine. Of course, this process is ongoing and will continue,” said Yevlash.
F-16 for Ukraine
In 2023, the Netherlands and Denmark led an aviation coalition aimed at providing Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets. In particular, on 21 May, ten Ukrainian servicemen completed F-16 maintenance training in the Netherlands.
