A year ago this was announced.

[Berkut24]

And for whom did they buy so many whatnots if almost all the pilots are sitting in their cells for suspicion of an attempted coup?

[raki-uzo]

For those who are in the cells. In the war they will be sent like a penal battalion and without a bullet in airplanes towards the enemy.

[Berkut24]

Then they will fly to Greece for political asylum ...

[raki-uzo]

During the war, would you let enemy planes close to you?
(İ) an interesting approach for you.

[Berkut24]

Firstly, there is no war, and secondly, this is not the plane to be wary of. They will offer to sit on the islands, then they will sort it out. After all, Turkish officers had already fled to Greece. the path is trodden.

Golden eagle, do not forget the milk before bedtime - the dream will be stronger and perhaps you will understand that I said all this in jest.

There is a joke in every joke

[kolkulon]

Well, yes. The personnel are well-cleaned. We need to train new ones.

Judging by the countries that have adopted them, he is halal But seriously, the campaign was transplanted by the Turks of all their more or less serious military specialists, as long as this is bought.

[mitrich]

And whom to teach on this whatnot? Combat pilots on jet technology? I understand that our UAC is a combat training one. And on this, only agricultural pilots.
