Congressmen introduce bill to train Ukrainian fighter pilots
US Air Force Veterans Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger and Democrat Chrissy Houlahan introduced a bill to train Ukrainian fighter pilots and crew on US military assets.
The House of Representatives’ letter to US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says that the military aid the United States and other NATO countries provide to Ukraine has given their forces the defensive capability to prevent Russian aggression. capture Kyiv and install puppet mode. That is a remarkable achievement. But it has not stopped the war, nor brought Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table to seriously discuss the possibility of an end to hostilities.
“As veterans of the Air Force, we know that in any conflict with an opposing military, one of the first actions our Joint Forces will take is to establish the right to supreme force in the air,” the letter read. Based on public reports, neither Ukraine nor Russia have established air superiority. We believe that the United States and our NATO allies can help Ukraine change the situation in the air and give Ukrainian forces a decisive advantage in the war.”

According to a Press Release Adam Kinzinger, this bill would authorize the United States to begin training Ukrainian pilots and crew members on F-15s, F-16s and other airports while the Administration continues to consider sending those devices.
The representatives remained hopeful that there would be no need for further escalation, but both agreed that it is important for the Ukrainian military to be trained and familiar with these air platforms if Russia is to continue its intensive campaign. poison against Ukraine’s sovereignty. Regardless of whether the United States and its allies deploy such equipment, this program will strengthen Ukraine’s military and ensure its long-term stability and security.
“The resilient people of Ukraine are defending themselves against Putin’s war better than most of the world ever thought possible,” Representative Houlahan said. “As this conflict continues to be so intense, we need to rethink our long-term strategic plan to help our Ukrainian allies — this includes training pilots on the aircraft. Additional aircraft may be available to them. It’s simple: if our military decides to move planes, we need their pilots ready to use them immediately. Our bipartisan effort will ensure that training goes on. The United States continues to be a strong backer of Ukraine’s fight for sovereignty, as demonstrated by the additional $1 billion in security assistance authorized this week. As an Air Force veteran, I am especially grateful to be working with Congressman Kinzinger on this important step forward in the fight for democracy around the world.
