          Maybe this is the case?

          In fact, there have been reports of large-scale malfunctions of these aircraft, even of pilots refusing to train and train on them. As far as I remember, one of the problems was the "oxygen plant" constantly failing.

          In my opinion, I clearly expressed my idea.
          The pilots, like ordinary people, are a pity, of course.
          Servicemen of an enemy state ... here I have a cognitive dissonance.
          The same story with Indian, Egyptian, even Turkish pilots would have aroused different feelings in me.
          On the other hand, if the plane was taken away from the dwelling and the civilians were rescued, it is definitely heroes for me and "... (ellipsis of doubt)" are discarded.
          All-webs of war, thank God no.

            The same story with Indian, Egyptian, even Turkish pilots would have aroused different feelings in me.

            Why? Indians, Egyptians, even Turks, how are they different from the Americans? Like two arms, two legs, five fingers on them. Why other feelings?

            On the other hand, if the plane was taken away from the dwelling and the civilians were rescued, it is definitely heroes for me and "... (ellipsis of doubt)" are discarded.

            Heroes. And if they had not taken away, then who?

            All-webs of war, thank God no.

            So I'm talking about, too, there is no war, but you write about the "enemy State".

            Don't get me wrong, I'm just wondering why one or more conventions affect the final output so much.

                How do you know? Did you serve in Egypt or Turkey?
                The army is taught to fight, and with whom and when, it is not the pilots who decide. They are given basic knowledge, improve their qualifications and practice tactics, including against us. But this does not mean that they are enemies.

                That is, in your opinion, the US state is friendly to Russia?

                But not hostile, as you wrote. A rival, yes, but not an enemy. Here we will have a war with them, then they will be enemies. Is it logical? It is logical.


                Take China for example. Do you think they exclude a conflict with us? If not, then they are preparing for such a conflict (collecting data, finding targets to strike, developing a strategy). And that's okay.
                Is China an enemy State? Not.

              And who said there is no war? Study literature. For a long time there has been a 6th generation war against Russia. It doesn't matter to me whether NATO aircraft is causing us tens of billions of dollars of damage, or the sanctions of these countries. Putin is only to blame for stopping the fall of Russia. Then they began to press. Magnitsky, and then you know. You can always find a reason or come up with it. The West does not need the state of Russia at all, let alone an independent and armed state.

            It makes no difference what country, what profession, even a pilot or a simple staff officer (only a pity for the soldiers, they are in the service of captivity). An officer who has chosen service as a profession must understand that he will have the task of killing, for this he receives money. That is, the officers are the same mercenaries but legal. So if they are preparing to kill, let them be ready to be killed, and not many of them feel sorry for them. They chose their own path in life, and the path of violence ...

      It is strange that previous accidents were accompanied by the death of pilots. Maybe the problem is in the rescue systems (bailout)?

                There is not enough because there are no such statements from officials. I do not live in Russia and am not a citizen of Russia, but in this case it does not matter. Statements about the beating of the enemy until complete destruction in peacetime, in the presence of full-fledged diplomatic relations between the Russian Federation and the United States, are fully drawn to fanning military hysteria and incitement to war.
                First, characterize the submarine of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which violates the water state border for 8 km of a sovereign country, which is in a state of full-fledged peace and progressing trade relations with the Russian Federation. And then name the American bomber, where and when has violated the borders of the Russian Federation (the USSR cannot be cited as an example) since the republic gained sovereign statehood?
                Are you sure that everyone is pissing in diapers from the mere mention of the Russian Federation and its army? Does your great-power chauvinism in the field of the administration of natural necessities press you? And besides dreams about the war with Russia, what other dreams do you know?
