Ukrainian 🇺🇦 top guns train with NATO F-16 fighter jets in Denmark 🇩🇰

- At an airbase in Denmark, the Danish Air Force has been training the next generation of Ukrainian fighter pilots to fly the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
A coalition of NATO Allies, including Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway, has agreed to donate their F-16s to the Ukrainian Air Force. As part of the deal, Danish instructors at Skrydstrup Air Base are training Ukrainian pilots, technicians and ground crew how to fly and maintain the F-16. The first jets will enter service later this year.
The Ukrainian pilots are full of praise for the F-16, noting its responsive controls and agile flight features.
The F-16 is an advanced multirole fighter, which will replace Ukraine’s aging fleet of MiG-29 Fulcrums and Su-27 Flankers. Speedy, highly manoeuvrable and capable of carrying a wide range of ordnance, the F-16 will significantly strengthen Ukraine’s ability to continue defending its airspace and territory against Russia's war of aggression.

Thank you, Denmark!
Thank for all endeavors to protect our democracy and order.
Thank you Denmark for your contribution to Ukraines defense
Thank you denmark belgium the netherlands and norway for that amazing help and for everybody who helps ukraine, Slava ukraini from morocco ✊🏽✊🏽
I spent 5 years of my life in Denmark and I admire this country and its people. Med al respekt. mange tak!
"Med all respekt, mange takk" 👍
How fitting that the Majors nametag says "J.DAM" 😂
Full name is Jan Dam. He was born for this.
Yes. I guess he's training the UA pilots in using those JDAMs. Correction: He's Major *General,* not just Major.
those helmets are also a game changer for the Ukrainian pilots
HMD is awesome especially with the datalink.
FINALLY a comment section not flooded with russian bots and trolls, amazing !
it's becoming rare nowadays...
yes! it feels great to know NATO is backing us in this fight!
It is truly commendable how a small country like Denmark with a population equal to that of Wisconsin in the US can do so much!!
Too many countries in Europe give very little help to Ukraine, Denmark certainly isn’t one of those! Thanks our Danish friends💪🏼
NATO STANDS WITH UKRAINE
🫡
Yes! From Vancouver Canada.
Well done Denmark!
Man blir stolt som nordbo att vi står vid Ukrainas sida mot tyrannen i öst. 🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪🇫🇮
The North stands with heroic Ukraine ✊💪💪 Norden står bag heroiske Ukraine!
Og vi står også ved hinandens side, nu hvor vi alle er i NATO!
F16: small but mighty, looks simple, runs better than a Ferrari. Smaller than a twin engined mig, but runs rings around it
they just need the longer range radar versions to lock on Russian jets/ air defenses, especially considering Russian jets are launching those damn Glide bombs from long ranges
God Bless Denmark
Looks like the trollskies haven't found this channel yet, which is weird.
😅 you goddamn right ))) opportunity to see real pols between people in internet.
Thank you for your efforts to help our country and people.
Trollskies lol too funny. I'm new here . Is that what you guys call haters. That's too funny bro. I love it
Yes! They're usually allll over videos like this...
Imagine, how much noise they create seeing channels like DW german news. It is ridiculous we allow this to happen, while we are locked out from theirs.
Refreshing to see a comment section without Putin fanatics
PROUD to be NATO!
Slava Ukrajini!
героям слава!
Thank you Denmark!
its intresting to see what NATO is doing.
Did anyone else notice that the Chief of the Danish Air Force is named JDAM?
I wonder if he's had the opportunity to drop any in his career, it would sure be fitting!
Thanks for stepping up Danes!
Yes, the name is fitting. His full name is _Jan Dam_ (I guess that would be "John Pond" in English).
Slava Ukraine! 💞💙💛💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❣️🇵🇭
Slava Denmark👍🇺🇦🇩🇰🇺🇦🇩🇰
Slava Ukraini
Slava Ukraïni!🇺🇦💙
Heroyam Slava!
Some guy suggested that the Ukrainian pilots would take a year to transition from SU to F16, based on his experience with vietnam pow returnees...totally different situation, no?
These guys are fighting for their lives, families, homeland, not just trying to requalify after a couple of years away.
The base commander is named General JDAM you can't write something this on the nose
Slava Ukraini from Germany 🇩🇪🇺🇦
Its hillarious that Major General Jan Dam has initials J.DAM
Why?
@@jeqsteaer Joint Direct Attack Munition
Well done Denmark!! You are demonstrating political leadership and commitment that embarrassed me as a former Canadian officer given the lack of it here. No we need to get the pilots and the fighters deployed!! Training is great but won’t help if not used.
si vis pacem, para bellum 💪🏻
🟦 Слава Україні! - Glory to Ukraine!
🟨 Героям слава! - Glory to heroes!
Another UA pilot training on the F-16 said that compared to their old planes, it is like going from a flip-phone to an iPhone, but without the benefit of all the intermediate steps that we all went through as mobile phone technology evolved.. so it is tough, but they are motivated.
Thank you Denmark
The most elegantly designed fighter ever?
Grazie NATO
Ukraine is going to need the F-16s.
J DAM - what an appropriate name for an airforce chief
Attack! Go get ‘em! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Thank you, Denmark!
Thank you, Denmark. From Portugal.
Slava Ukraini
Приветствую вас дорогие друзья союзники благодарю вас за поддержку Украине желаю всем счастья и здоровья успехов победа будет за нами ❤❤❤
I hope that there will be no logistical delays on the items that will be needed to keep these aircraft in the fight.
❤️🇵🇱🇺🇦🇺🇸❤️
RIP Juice. If only you had survived to see this.
They've been training since August
Nope. Four Ukrainians have been in the F-16 Beginner Course in Arizona since October. Training has not gone well. They will take 8 months to complete the 6 month course.
The Ukrainian pilots in Denmark started training in Jan 2024 with their maintenance personnel. I've only seen 2 Ukrainian pilots training in Denmark.
@@donwyoming1936 - Training is going well, but it takes a long time to train on a new aircraft.
@@donwyoming1936Terror State Russia’s low quality invasion is probably going worse and taking longer.
@@donwyoming1936 My guess is they have to unlearn muscle memory from Soviet planes. With luck they soon will be able to get to the war and defend their nation from the unprovoked and nigh terroristic invasion
@@donwyoming1936 check your facts. Ukrainian pilots started training here in August 2023. I should know as I am 4 km from the base.
its a slick plane.
🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇸💪
The war in Ukraine is the war the F-16 was designed to fight. The mechanized armies on the ground have to have effective and overwhelming air support to win and not just stalemate.
Ukraine❤❤
The F16, US pilots that have flown it, call it a glove that just feels natural in flying it, it is very well built and it responds to the pilot. Id have to say that the F16 is a sexy aircraft in the US arsenal.
Thanks everyone, for help
Slava Ukraini!
Well done Denmark.
Now what about those Tranche 1 Typhoons the UK is putting into storage for parts?
10/10, thanks Denmark!
The orcs in Ukraine should call Kenny Loggins cus they're about to enter the...
DANGER ZONE! [sick guitar riff ensues while F-16s fly by]
RIP Moonfish =(, the pilot interviewed in this video sadly died last monday 26st of August during a combat mission to intercept Russian drones and missiles attacking Ukraine, also confirming the first loss of a Ukrainian F-16
Most people do not know how critical NATO is.
Thank you, Denmark! From Ukraine
Slava.Ukraine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eroi.Slava!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If only the Ukrainian Air Force would also receive the F-22 Raptor, Russian pilots would crap in the fight suits when a F-22 is flying below or directly behind their MiGs.
Training on F-22 would take years. Not something Ukraine has
No country except the USA can fly the F-22. There is a law even forbidding it.
Unfortunately, Moonfish went down as the first F16 casualty. RIP.
I think in modern warfare the 3 most important are
1. Anti Aircraft/Drones
2. Anti Tank/Vehicle
3. Precision Artillery
Дякую за допомогу моїй країні 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
JDAM 💪
Slava Ukrayini
ive been hearing alot of planes flying over my apartment here, so i guess that was them
My God, this F16 looks amazing.
Thank you 🇩🇰
🇳🇱❤️🇺🇦
Best of luck to you and your colleagues Moonfish
Denmark has provided significant support to Ukraine since the invasion in 2022. Here is an overview of some of the most important donations. Military Equipment and Training: F-16 fighters: Denmark has promised to deliver 19 F-16 fighters to Ukraine.
Leopard 1 tanks: Denmark has donated 100 Leopard 1 tanks and
Denmark has also supplied artillery systems and ammunition, Artillery and Ammunition: Denmark has supplied artillery systems and ammunition, but the exact quantities are not always published
Training: Danish soldiers have been involved in training Ukrainian forces...
Fighting Falcons for real.
Proud to pay my taxes here
Slava Ukranii!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Slava Ukraini !

You will Win!!!
Heroyam Slava!!🇺🇦
🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦
Moonfish was killed in action this week while his squadron was repelling a huge barrage of cruise missiles sent by the Russians to strike critical targets in Ukraine.
Ukraine !!!!!
Get them to Ukraine
This extended training is costing lives
No, the intense extended training saves lives. Otherwise you'll end up sending highly educated ukrainian pilots into a certain death, if they are not capable of handling the falcon and knows its limits. We all owe them a chance of survival, so they may even be able to support the groundforces too on a long term basis. Pilots are not easy to replace -it takes years to educate new pilots. It is not a hamburgerstand where someone new can take over, when you leave just because they had a PS2 at home to play with.

🇺🇦👍🇪🇺💪🏼🇺🇦👏🏼🇪🇺❤️🇺🇦🇪🇺🙏🙏🙏
At this rate, war will be over before F16 be deployed
@Alfeco For anyone who supports Ukraine and follows this stuff closely it is indeed insanely frustrating. Why training for Ukrainian piolets didn't begin much much earlier is baffling but so are many things regarding support to Ukraine. I hope that soon there is a surge of things coming together that will allow massive Ukrainian control of the battlefield.
Keep in mind of the big picture though. In spite of Russia throwing thousands of men and tons of military equipment trying to take over Ukraine they have gotten practically nowhere. Russian gains on the last year are not even close to approaching their initial gains early in the war that they lost to Ukraine counter offensives in Kharkiv and Kherson.
What a fitting name
Nice flight setup, i use F-16 HOTAS joystick aswell
Denmark is helping Ukraine in the heavy lifting of transitioning to the F-16, and away from legacy Russian products!
So who is going to maintain these planes? Who are the ground crews? Flying is less than half of what's involved.
If it's practical, have them fly to neighboring country bases like poland, they can get serviced and protected at the same time
Er, maybe they've thought of that?!
You don’t think they’ve thought of maintenance???
There are mechanics getting trained just like pilots. They’re not getting any attention, but I suspect that has been every fighter mechanics complaint since WW1
Thank You ❤
Does the ghost of Ukraine fly that bird??
Thanks NATO
will Ghost of Kiev use F16 too? lol
how difficult is switching to a new (fighter)aircraft? just like a new type rating? possible modify to use russian / ukrainian weapons from F16?
💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
allez y les gars, liberté pour l'Ukraine, merci les gens civilisés !
Great story - like a Hollywood movie.😂
❤🎉🇦🇺👍
