Ukraine to receive NATO transfer F16 4th generation fighter aircraft. US training for pilots. Very high performance. 1500 mph Mach 2. Ceiling above 50,000 feet. Range 500 miles with six 1000 lb bombs. Extremely versatile weapons and radar. Need 4 Squadrons. US has more than 1000 F16’s. Our Allied nations another 1000. Incredible air to air and ground capability. Ukrainians need max 6 months training to incorporate and sustain. Should call for trained F16 foreign volunteer pilots. Maintenance by contract.
