CNN: US has given approval for F-16 instructional materials for Ukraine

The United States has approved the transfer of F-16 instructional materials to Ukraine.

This was reported by CNN, citing its own sources.

"The Department has recently approved a request from F-16 training partner Denmark related to their effort to stand up pilot and maintenance training programs," an unnamed Biden administration official told the publication.

The US has allowed Denmark to transfer "training modules, documentation, and materials containing information on sensitive US technology".

Training of Ukrainian pilots on F-16s was to begin in August 2023 and last for six to eight months.

In total, Denmark expected 30-40 Ukrainians to take part in the training.

It will be recalled that the United States has allowed the transfer of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine after Ukrainian pilots complete their training.
