• A Ukrainian pilot training to fly F-16s said it was like upgrading from a Nokia to an iPhone.
• He said the jets were "awesome" but had more complex electronic systems than Soviet-made jets.
• The first F-16 fighter jets should be delivered to Ukraine this summer, according to Denmark.

A Ukrainian pilot said that transitioning from old Soviet-made planes to Western F-16s is like upgrading from a Nokia to an iPhone.

The pilot, with the call sign "Moonfish," is one of six being trained to use the fighter jets at the Skrysdtrup base in Denmark.

"It's a really awesome jet to fly," he told Ukrainian government-backed platform United24.
