Ukraine is set to deploy a few F-16s from July, but the training of pilots has faced delays. The new training center in Romania, where the pilots are supposed to be trained, is still waiting for their arrival. Despite the urgency due to increased Russian strikes, only a small number of F-16s will be delivered, and uncertainty remains about the training and maintenance of the jets. The process has been slower than expected, with language and operational differences posing challenges for the Ukrainian pilots. The F-16s are seen as crucial in defending against Russian attacks, but additional military aid, including ammunition, is also urgently needed. The deployment of the F-16s is seen as a crucial step in Ukraine's fight for freedom and security.
