The Pentagon said Thursday that the United States will train Ukrainian fighter pilots in Arizona this fall.

The pilots are expected to begin training at Morris Air National Guard Base in Tucson in October after completing their English language education in September.

“The United States will soon begin training Ukrainians to fly and maintain F-16 fighter jets in support of international efforts to develop and strengthen Ukraine’s long-term defenses,” Pentagon press secretary Patrick Ryder said.

Ryder said the United States has yet to determine the exact number of pilots.
