As Ukraine continues to defend itself against Russia’s full-scale invasion, the next generation of Ukrainian Air Force pilots is being trained by NATO Allies.
At an air base in the United Kingdom, pilot trainees are learning the rudiments of flight in Tutor T1 training aircraft. These two-seater airplanes are light and agile, allowing students to master their take-offs and landings while getting a feel for the air before proceeding to more advanced aircraft. United Kingdom Royal Air Force (RAF) trainers fly along with their trainees, helping them begin a path that will return them to Ukraine as fully fledged pilots.
Eventually, some of them will go on to fly F-16 Fighting Falcons, multirole fighters that several NATO Allies are donating to Ukraine to replenish their air force.
On 9-12 July 2024, NATO Leaders are taking further steps in support to Ukraine at the NATO Summit in Washington, D.C. New measures include NATO taking a lead role in coordinating security assistance and training; a long-term financial pledge to continue and sustain support; new immediate military aid including air defence; as well as measures to enhance interoperability with NATO forces, bringing Ukraine closer to the Alliance.
Footage includes Ukrainian pilots working with pilots from the RAF, gearing up and preparing for flight training.
