Denmark has started training Ukrainian pilots to F16's.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark’s government said Monday that the training of Ukrainian pilots on F-16 jets has started and the retirement of Scandinavian country’s fleet of aging U.S. fighters has been moved up two years.

The replacement fighters, F-35s, will be operative by 2025, acting Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said. Initially, the switch was planned for 2027.

Lund Poulsen said that NATO-member Denmark “has taken the step of starting a training and further education effort for the Ukrainian pilots.”

“We will also consider whether we should make a concrete donation to Ukraine of the Danish F-16 fighters, and how many there should be,” he said.

Ukrainian pilots must spend six to eight months of training before a possible donation of Danish F-16 aircraft can become a reality, Lund Poulsen told Danish broadcaster DR.

“This does not mean that you cannot make a decision beforehand. But (the F-16 planes) will be in Denmark until 2024,” Lund Poulsen said.

Zelenskyy stopped for a cup of coffee at a petrol station, he seems to make friends easily. Can't imagine Putler achieving the same.

A retired Russian tank battalion commander has given a frank interview about the rampant corruption that he says has led to the "complete collapse of the Russian army" in the last 16 years. His comments highlight how the army has rotted from within during the Putin era. ⬇️

The battles on the Kherson Bridge.


No idea what this guy was thinking, he obviously never got the memo that the bridge was shut.

Not sure about all the Star Wars pew pew shots. Looks to me like someone did a bit of altering here. The arcs of the 'shots' don't make any sense, as don't the source of the pews.

I think using an APC or BTR to drive into the enemy lines could be quite a good way to surrender safely if you don’t want to be killed by your own side.

Drive slowly and have a big white flag or you'll be taken out by the ones you are trying to surrender to.

​​​​​​​Latvia announced today that the country will stop issuing all types of visas to Russians effective immediately.

The Latvians say it’s done due to “the current instability in Russia”
