The Minister of Defense of Ukraine noted that 11 partner countries have joined the aircraft coalition. The Netherlands and Denmark took the lead in the project of training Ukrainian pilots, technicians, and engineers.
According to Reznikov, the instructors will announce the completion of the exercises when they see how Ukrainian pilots, engineers, and technicians master new skills and interact with each other.
He noted that it is also important with what kind of weapons the fighter jets will be equipped. Therefore, when partners decide on the transfer of this equipment and its numbers, they will seek the consent of the United States.
"Each country will receive such a permit and say: 'I am ready to transfer a certain number of planes'. Accordingly, with spare parts, and maintenance capabilities. 'I am ready to transfer a certain number of missiles or aerial bombs, or else.' Then the second part of the project will be clear," Reznikov noted.Oleksii Reznikov, who spoke with Channel 24
