Canada will provide two additional F-16 flight simulators to Ukraine to enhance the training of Ukrainian pilots.
According to Ukrinform, this announcement was made by the Canadian Ministry of National Defense while Minister Bill Blair was in Brussels.
"While in Brussels, Minister Blair reaffirmed Canada’s continued support for Ukraine and announced that Canada will deliver two more F-16 flight simulators to Ukraine from Canadian industry," the ministry stated.
These two additional simulators will be added to the two previously delivered simulators, which are already assisting in training Ukrainian fighter pilots.
"Given the current operational pressures on the AFU’s fleet of F-16s, which limits the number aircraft available for training, these simulators will be especially pertinent," the Canadian National Defense Ministry emphasized.
As previously reported, since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, Canada has provided Ukraine with approximately USD 14.5 billion in aid, including USD 3.5 billion in military assistance.
