Default Ukrainian Falcons?

The UK is preparing to host a Ukrainian pilot training program, reportedly to prepare them to fly the F-16. Belgium is reportedly following suit. The latter makes more sense, as Belgium has operated Falcons since the 1980s. The UK, on the other hand, never operated the type, making their contribution somewhat curious.

It's still not certain that Ukraine will receive F-16s and, if so, what type and from whom. Even if the UAF is given F-16s, the transfer won't occur anytime soon- it will be several months, at the earliest- definitely too late to assist in Ukraine's long-awaited spring offensive.
