The head of the British Cabinet also spoke in support of other proposals, including the training and instruction of Ukrainian sailors, as well as the supply of long-range weapons Kyiv. Along with this, it is planned to teach Ukrainian pilots how to fly military helicopters.
During the joint meeting, the parties also focused their attention on a significant increase in the supply of military equipment so that Ukraine could resist a possible spring offensive by Russian troops, which various Western observers and experts have been actively talking about lately.
the British military reminded that it takes at least 3 years to train a pilot to fly a Typhoon fighter. If the same Typhoons suddenly appear in Ukraine in the coming months or at least until the end of 2024, then we can safely say that they are not piloted by Ukrainian pilots at all. After all, even if we are talking about the retraining of pilots who were trained to fly Soviet-designed aircraft, then a few months in this regard can not be dispensed with.

No NATO nation will risk one of its pilots being shot down and captured.
Like the promised tanks, these fighters are never meant to make it to the battle.
They are just propaganda CYA.
Imagine that. NATO troops getting involved. Who would have ever thought? /s

A good read on how long it would take to train experienced MiG-29 pilots to be combat effective in and F-16.
Bottom line is between 6 and 12 months, assuming an abbreviated training program tailored to experienced pilots who are cross training into the F-16.
not to worry, due to Russia’s incompetence, this war will still be going in 2025
During the Yom Kippur War, Golda Meir needed US Planes to help defend Israel US Pilots flew the planes in and were engaged by Syrian and Iraqi Jets and they dominated the Arab pilots. It happened quickly. The same will happen in Ukraine
Right, so the Leopard's being sent to Poland for Ukraine are a mirage?
The first of Canada's donated Leopard 2 main battle tanks has arrived in Poland before the shipment travels on to Ukraine.

Are you saying American pilots will be sent to Ukraine?
The article headline suggests a reasonable scenario, one that the CNN reporters you prefer should be asking.
Didn't you say last month that Russia was low on ammunition?
“Didn’t you say.....?
Speaking of saying things:
The collapse of the most corrupt nation on earth has begun in earnest. Get out the popcorn and pull up a chair.

Certain of the pro Putin posters are just like Biden, they say stuff because it sounds good without a bit of reality.
That would include Jon Preston, Travis McGee, Bob L and others.
I welcome information of all kinds. Silly made up stuff is a waste of time.
Like another one of them who posted Ukraine can’t use the tanks because they conscript little children who aren’t big enough to drive a tank.
So is he suggesting the NATO combat aircraft would be like Migs piloted in Korea and Vietnam by Soviet pilots? WW3 didn’t start there, obviously.
Now, stop stalking. Go Troll someone else. You apparently can't resist stalking/harassing people with repetitive material, despite me answering.
No doubt. We already know US troops as “advisors” are there training Ukraine with US weapons.
I think you are right.
Kosovo replay. Declare a No Fly Zone over eastern Ukraine. Enforce it with NATO aircraft. Take ground fire from Russians, respond with cluster munitions and napalm. Russia already voided outlawed weapons treaties with extensive use of WP. Napalm will exhibit the value of civil conduct -which they have abandoned in Ukraine.
Interesting. Also, during the previous War of Attrition, Russians flying Egyptian planes were shot down by Israeli pilots.
