Reznikov explained that the instructors will notify the end of the exercises when they see that the Ukrainian pilots, engineers and technicians have mastered new habits and are interacting with each other.
“This period of preparation in the form of exercises will be devoted to continuing the project and understanding when we will receive the planes directly. And most importantly – how many we will receive,” said the head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
