US to support F-16 training effort for Ukrainians, Biden tells G7 allies

President Joe Biden on Friday told G7 leaders the United States will support an effort to train Ukrainian pilots on advanced aircraft, including F-16s, a senior administration official tells CNN. The joint training effort is not expected to happen in the US, the official said, and will likely happen entirely in Europe. CNN’s Natasha Bertrand reports. #CNN #News

I guarantee pilots are already in training or have completed. They know damn well they're getting the jets 🙄

It is like watching a child playing with matches in a field of dried grass.

I guarantee you they've been training for the past 6 months already

F16’s in Ukraine will not be a game changer.

To me it sounds like a natural next step in the long complicated project of westernizing Ukraine's military hardware. You just cannot flood in every type of system all at once.

It just seems stupid the way NATO is waisting time

I've been having F-16s flying around my house for 2 months now almost every day, and they are flying low over the marsh, I bet they have been training them in the u.s

Billions wasted on "training" people half the world away as the debt ceiling is about to collapse...

When do I get a tax refund for all this free stuff they’re getting ?

I won’t be surprised if they get ATCMS next

I'm 81 years old. Every time I hear who we are training now I know that is who we will be fighting next.

But they can't agree to spend money on us.😂

Brilliant! THe Ukrainians are going to need the F-16 'Vipers.' SLAVA UKRAINE! 💙💙💛💛

[DjWickedPR]

Putin must be happy for this announcement 😂

[thornil]

WITH WHAT MONEY? AND MORE IMPORTANT... WHO'S MONEY?

[MarkM]

This is not going to be over this summer.

[travishamlin]

Same F-16’s that where not suppose to be given to Ukraine?

[JayW]

This is good news! Let's get this training fired up as fast as possible. Six month minimum, no time to waste. Congratulations Ukraine!! 💪
