I remember a year ago, people were arguing that F-16 is too logistically difficult for Ukraine. And now they are getting F-16s and Gripen, while in talks to get F-18s as well.
Really makes the previous complaints look quite unfounded.
@BombOmOm I don't think they have been promised Gripens or even Hornets yet? Swedes are only training and Australia is considering giving their old Hornets
I think the Brits were training them on another fighter in RAF service too.
I don't remember hearing anything about the Brits training Ukrainian pilots (would be really cool if they are, though!), but I've heard multiple times that the French are training them on the Mirage 2000.
