The US military is training two Ukrainian pilots on American soil to gauge how much time they would need in order to learn how to fly fighter jets such as the F-16.
The pair are being taught using flight simulators at a base in Tucson, Arizona, a senior US official told NBC News.
The official said that neither pilot will fly actual aircraft during their time in the US. As many as ten more pilots will arrive this month for similar training referred to as a 'familiarization event.'

All seriousness aside, I have to laugh about this stuff...or I’d break down in sobs.
A third of Ukraine speaks Russian. I think you lie...
>> The are removing the Khazarian mafia
Ah, the Joos!
Every time the going gets tough for the Russkys, they whip out the Protocols. I very single time.
Still NOT OUR FIGHT! Let Europe handle it as they did the Crimean War.
The company I was working for was making a radar simulator for the F-16. We were far enough along to put up a picture but not far enough along to make it move yet. The people from Lockheed(?) were in-plant for a progess check and our hardware guys were very proud of the picture that we put up for them to see.
But the Lockheed guy said, “Oh no, that’ll never do”. Our H/W guys were devasted until he added, “A real radar picture would never look anywhere close to that clear”. In the end, the H/W guys added circuitry to add noise into the picture so that it wouldn’t be so clear.
“The Running Man”, direct from Poland...
It’s not the Russians that go out and start wars so their leaders can get a couple points bump in a poll
of course not, Russia is a police-state dictatorship, so Putin doesn’t care about polls
but Russia DOES go out and start wars of annexation ... like with Ukraine ...
The pair are being taught using flight simulators.
Well they should have it mastered in about a week or two huh.
Bakhmut is of course of strategic value. It is covering the crossing of three major train lines and four major roads (M-03, M-32, T-13-02, T-05-13). As such it is the linchpin of the whole Donbas region. Besides that it also has some valuable mineral mines.

Russian source report death per week at a lower rate than Ukrainian death per day. The ratio is again about 10 Ukrainians for 1 Russian.
I have said for a while that Bakhmut was in operational encirclement. Russian artillery could reach its last roads in and out. Since three days ago Bakhmut is in tactical encirclement. Russian direct fire, i.e. tank guns and hand held anti-tank missiles, can now cover all of Bakhmut's supply routes. They will shot at any car that attempts to drive there. Its one reason why the reported deaths have harshly increased. Should the Ukraine decide to order its soldiers to stay in Bakhmut the city will be physically encircled. All roads will be blocked not only by fire but by heavily armed Russian checkpoints. The Ukrainian soldiers in Bakhmut, several thousands still seem to be there, will then be left with only two options: surrender or die. ###

During the last year Ukraine has enlisted hundreds of thousands of new recruits, but these new soldiers are being sent to the front with only minimal training. Ukraine does not have the number of trained, experienced soldiers required to mount a massive counter offensive. The lack of personnel is compounded by the inability of the West to supply ammunition and vehicles in sufficient numbers to sustain intense operations.
According to Andrei Martyanov, who has good sources in Russia, the 300,000 reservists called up last August have not yet been deployed to the front lines. The meaning is simple — Russia enjoys a massive advantage in terms of manpower, tanks, artillery, ammunition, missiles and combat air.
The fall of Bakhmut is a major blow, not just to Ukraine, but to the United States and NATO. This sets the stage for the West doing something desperate while Russia is content to continue to pulverize what is left of the Ukrainian military.
My point is warmongers who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones
This is a crazy idea. It is an unsuccessful, useless, and dangerous disaster waiting for somebody (us) to fund it, deploy it, and probably man it.
You do not just fly a F-16 on a whim.
This is a gateway to have American pilots flying missions.
LEAVE STUPID LYING Liberal.
