The U.S. will start training Ukrainian pilots to fly U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets, beginning at an Air National Guard base in October, the Pentagon said Thursday.

The training is part of a U.S. and European effort to get the advanced fighter jets to Ukraine for its defense against invading Russian forces.

    The US had to test all their old weapons before to kill as much Ukrainian civilians as possible. But it’ll still be the same if they have time to complete this other madness before they have to give up trying to take over the territories

      Jeez the Tankie fruit loops on here running rings around in their brain to come up with some messed up take is really the only down side to Lemmy.

      Like, folks, look at that logic… “America is killing Ukrainians”. Not one mention of Papa Putin and his war of aggression.

      Bucha? No. Theatres full of kids? No. Ethnic cleansing? Absolutely not.

      This punter has managed to convince themselves it’s America killing Ukrainians and trying to take over Ukraine.

      Mental.

        Yo bozo that’s not what I said. But indeed the US kind of acquired Ukraine to their cause in 2014.

        I’m not even ML calm down

        But please please consider that there is NATO propaganda of you consider there is Russian propaganda in BRICS countries. From there, try to underatand motives and what could be true or not

        And yes, Ukrainian government, with the support of the US (why would the US want this war there?) is absolutely killiands hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians with banned weapons. Also consider invadedterritoriese were already trying to get independence from Ukraine and under Russian military presence
