Ukraine 's F-16 pilots have had to dramatically change the way they fly in order to fight Russia .

Michael Bohnert , an air warfare expert at the RAND Corporation , told Business Insider that the big changes make it difficult for them to overcome old habits and muscle memory in a crisis.

Ukraine pilots were given roughly nine months of training in the US and some European countries, while Western pilots are given three years to learn the jets.

Denmark , Norway , Belgium , and the Netherlands have pledged more than 85 F-16s to Ukraine .

Only a handful of the jets were delivered to Ukraine in August .

Ukraine is getting older jets, but they're not a match for Russia 's better jets or air defenses.

The delays in getting this program spun up have been detrimental.
