The supply of 6 fighter jets, which was initially planned to be made for the new year, is now delayed for 6 months, according to the Danish newspaper Berlingske.
The transmission of the F-16 military fighter fighters will be delayed for six months, reports the BerlingSke Danish newspaper with reference to the country's Ministry of Defense.
Kyiv has long argued that it needs fighters to make significant military progress against Russia, which began a full -scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium have announced their readiness to give Kiev fighters F-16 of American production.
"Selection (pilots-editorial) is ongoing, the workout is about to begin, and about the new year the first group of aircraft, I hope, will fly from Denmark to Ukraine-about six. I hope that next year eight more aircraft will be sent to Ukraine, and in a year-five," said Denmark Prime Minister last year.
However, in October, Danish Defense Minister Troyels Lund Polesen stated that the first planes would be sent by April 2024.
Denmark was one of the first countries to promise the fighters of American production of Kiev, and is one of the largest donors in Ukraine's military defense.
Ukrainian pilots will start training on two F-16 fighters donated by Norway, in Denmark, has announced this week the Norwegian Government.
