The US took two Ukranian pilots to Tucson at the end of April where they spent two weeks being tested on a F-16 simulator to see how long it would take them to convert from MiG-29 and Su-27. The Tucson instructors came to the conclusion it would take 4 months.
The only difficulty they had was deciphering all the cockpit info which is in English.
Just need to sort out the maintenance issues now.
