Danish Ministry of Defence to train Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16s at Skridstrup base
Acting Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen, said that Ukrainian pilots will be trained to fly F-16 fighter jets at Skridstrup airbase in the central part of the country.
“We are planning that it will be at Skridstrup, where we have our F-16 combat aircraft based,” Danish Radio quoted Poulsen as saying. He said on Wednesday that Danish authorities expect Ukrainian pilots to be able to start training F-16s in the country in August.
Russia earlier sent a note to NATO countries over arms deliveries to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that any cargo containing arms for Ukraine would be a legitimate target for Russia. The Russian foreign ministry said that NATO countries were “playing with fire” by supplying weapons to Ukraine. The Russian president’s press secretary, Dmitriy Peskov, noted that pumping weapons into Ukraine from the West did not contribute to the success of the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations and would have a negative effect.
