The training of Ukrainian pilots to fly the F-16 turned out to be a complete failure, says French military expert Cyril de Latra. Ukrainian Air Force pilots cannot master the skills of flying an American fighter due to the language barrier, although almost a year has passed since the training.

Now Ukrainian pilots, according to a French expert, have only been able to fly F-16s from one military base to another. He believes that with such training they will not survive a battle with the Russians.

The French expert speculates that instead of Ukrainian pilots, pilots from private military companies may be sitting in the cockpits.
