Ukrainian 🇺🇦 top guns train with NATO F-16 fighter jets in Denmark 🇩🇰

At an airbase in Denmark, the Danish Air Force has been training the next generation of Ukrainian fighter pilots to fly the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

A coalition of NATO Allies, including Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway, has agreed to donate their F-16s to the Ukrainian Air Force. As part of the deal, Danish instructors at Skrydstrup Air Base are training Ukrainian pilots, technicians and ground crew how to fly and maintain the F-16. The first jets will enter service later this year.

The Ukrainian pilots are full of praise for the F-16, noting its responsive controls and agile flight features.

The F-16 is an advanced multirole fighter, which will replace Ukraine’s aging fleet of MiG-29 Fulcrums and Su-27 Flankers. Speedy, highly manoeuvrable and capable of carrying a wide range of ordnance, the F-16 will significantly strengthen Ukraine’s ability to continue defending its airspace and territory against Russia's war of aggression.

[sogerc]

Looks like the trollskies haven't found this channel yet, which is weird.

[jeriksson]

Well done Denmark!
Man blir stolt som nordbo att vi står vid Ukrainas sida mot tyrannen i öst. 🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪🇫🇮

It is truly commendable how a small country like Denmark with a population equal to that of Wisconsin in the US can do so much!!

[外来ジョウ]

Did anyone else notice that the Chief of the Danish Air Force is named JDAM?
I wonder if he's had the opportunity to drop any in his career, it would sure be fitting!
Thanks for stepping up Danes!

F16: small but mighty, looks simple, runs better than a Ferrari. Smaller than a twin engined mig, but runs rings around it

[jaakkojokinen]

Too many countries in Europe give very little help to Ukraine, Denmark certainly isn’t one of those! Thanks our Danish friends💪🏼

[WallyBDO]

The base commander is named General JDAM you can't write something this on the nose

[ftstfshortsbg]

its intresting to see what NATO is doing.

[danielclermont]

RIP Moonfish =(, the pilot interviewed in this video sadly died last monday 26st of August during a combat mission to intercept Russian drones and missiles attacking Ukraine, also confirming the first loss of a Ukrainian F-16

[lohikarhu]

Some guy suggested that the Ukrainian pilots would take a year to transition from SU to F16, based on his experience with vietnam pow returnees...totally different situation, no?
These guys are fighting for their lives, families, homeland, not just trying to requalify after a couple of years away.

[paulvarn]

The war in Ukraine is the war the F-16 was designed to fight. The mechanized armies on the ground have to have effective and overwhelming air support to win and not just stalemate.

[VixCorydon]

Its hillarious that Major General Jan Dam has initials J.DAM

[thegoat]

I hope that there will be no logistical delays on the items that will be needed to keep these aircraft in the fight.
