In March, Belgium will send two two-seat F-16 fighters to Denmark, and from March to September, 50 Belgian instructors will go to train Ukrainian pilots, RTBF writes.

It is noted that two Belgian F-16s will be deployed in Denmark from March to September. This time will be divided into two periods of eight weeks each. During the training, instructors will train not only Ukrainian pilots but also technicians and mission planners.

"This training mission is part of the F-16 Coalition, which brings together 13 countries led by Denmark, the Netherlands and the United States. It aims to provide the Ukrainian Air Force with F-16 fighter-bombers and train capable personnel to use them to fight Russian invasion," the newspaper said.
