The president of Ukraine with the Danes who've pledged to supply his country with 19 F-16
00:08
fast jets. A chance to sit in the cockpit and to savour the result of months of diplomatic
00:13
pressure. The US giving the green light for allies to help Ukraine recover control of
00:19
its skies. It won't be an overnight solution. Ukrainian pilots may not be at the controls
00:24
until Christmas. But with the Dutch also offering 42 of the jets, there's fresh hope for victory.
00:29
"We want to go faster. We want to make the planes accelerate the process. We want to
00:36
make the Russian Federation dominate in the skies. We don't limit ourselves to planes.
00:43
We're talking about air defence, because winter is ahead."
00:50
As the counter-offensive continues on the ground, Ukraine's pilots, engineers and support
00:54
crews are all training to work in and around the F-16s they'll be receiving. The Dutch
01:00
and Danish governments are also part of the coalition providing the training on NATO's
01:05
fixed-wing fighters.
