The U.S. National Guard still has enough money to complete the training of Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets despite the United States running out of funds to send additional weapons and assistance to Kyiv, the head of the guard said on February 8. “We do have the resources to continue the training that’s already started,” General Dan Hokanson said. President Joe Biden announced in August that the United States would begin training Ukrainian pilots on the F-16 as part of a multinational effort to provide Ukraine the advanced fighter jets. Pilot training began in October at Morris Air National Guard base in Arizona.
