The US Air Force plans to train 2024 pilots a year from 1500

According to the international magazine Defense News, the US Air Force intends to train about 1470 new pilots in 2023. At the same time, the magazine notes that there is a constant shortage of military pilots in the country. This figure is close to the Air Force's planned annual release of 2024 pilots from 1500. It is for 1500 pilots trained from 2024 that the US military department is counting.

According to the head of the US Air Force Education and Training Department, Lieutenant General Brian Robinson, it will be very difficult to achieve these indicators. The general also noted that there was no need to put too much pressure on the Air Force to train pilots, unless the United States went to war with another world power and urgently needed more pilots.

According to Defense News, the Air Force is finding it increasingly difficult to find experienced instructors to train pilots, as many of them go to commercial airlines to make more money. And the Air Force has to increasingly turn to virtual training.

The Air Force's annual pilot training targets often prove unattainable, and pilots are tasked with more missions and longer missions instead of training or rest.

Robinson noted.

More than 12 pilots serve in the active US Air Force, writes Defense News. At the same time, about 000 people go on a well-deserved rest every year, and about 800 more go to civilian life. Aviation. However, it remains not entirely clear why train so many military pilots if the country is really not preparing for a major military conflict with any world power. Or is it getting ready...

There are many components of "why" and the most important thing - "To be, and then all of a sudden we don't have them!".

and the advertisement will be "Fly on Air Force aircraft"

Are they closing the drone program or have they decided to overwhelm countries with an air defense system with pilots?

Yes, there is only one component - this is a future clash with the second most powerful state. Capitalism cannot pull two hegemons, one is destined to leave the arena... No matter how much you delay, no matter how much you juggle sanctions, and it will be possible to remove the democrats from the path of the eastern dragon only with the help of a global conflict. Both leaders are preparing for it. The United States is urgently strengthening its Air Force, China is building a "great sea wall". All the very best The world is waiting ahead ...

I wonder how we are doing with the annual release of military pilots?

Say it too. Annual. Yes, normal people. These pilots. behind the fence no one hides Daily. I would say - regularly in my spare time

Understood nothing.
I was interested in how many military pilots Russia trains annually. How many people?

[Vic Vic]

We are not familiar with you and did not switch to "you".
And this data is not secret.
In open sources for 2017, it was about hundreds, with the prospect of releasing up to a thousand pilots in 2022.
I would like to hear opinions on the forum. You probably have nothing to say, but I want to say.

After the revolutionary (or counter-revolutionary) reforms of the son-in-law of the closest associate of the wisest (may the Almighty prolong the years of his blessed reign), Russia manages to produce as many as 35 military flyers a year. The military secret was voiced (if anything) by Colonel Barants on the air of Komsomolskaya Pravda radio yesterday. For your further conclusions, personally, I do not bear any responsibility.

For fifteen minutes I have been trying to imagine this figure of 1500 pilots a year. Is America planning an invasion of Alpha Centauri?

Not well, the Att Two system is in HELL. a real thing, but from a thousand and a half a year. Let's actually burst out laughing. It's just a takeoff. without landing and even without weapons, without navigation. Crash somewhere in the ocean sea. This is Kuram for laughs

[Tusv]

And yet I can not imagine this tsifir in my head. Let's say the pilots of the Su-35 are obliged to endure and not lose consciousness due to overloads of 10 Zhe. This is not such a frail raid and ground training. This machine, the Su-35, can be stamped at least up to a hundred a year, but somehow I can’t imagine a flyer. Fifty thousand a year! Wouldn't go crazy

so it’s not with us, and judging by the UkroVVS, the main thing is to learn how to take off and launch a rocket, the rest is not critical

I saw their fliers. High-class pilots to shoot at Our air defense with Harm. It is necessary to take off, sneak up at a low altitude, make a slide to shoot and escape with impunity

The US has the largest air force in the world. And the Air Force is far from only combat aircraft (fighters, attack aircraft), but also bombers, military transport of all types from the C-5 Galaxy to the last light-engine, and what kind of fleet of tankers, reconnaissance aircraft do they have , AWACS aircraft ... This is a very large economy and requires many pilots and technicians, navigators and engineers.
Our Air Force is many times smaller and also has problems with pilots and aircraft technicians. And the urgent need for a sharp increase in the number of air fleets of both combat and military transport, bomber and attack aircraft, as well as special aviation: reconnaissance, AWACS, PLO, patrol, etc., rescue and fire is also recognized. In the next decade, more and more pilots will be required. And if hands and conscience reach light-engine aviation, then even more.

Is 1500 a lot? In the USSR, only three helicopter schools, Syzran, Saratov and Ufa annually produced more than 1300.

Such a number of pilots per year, as it were, hints at the planned rate of loss of obsolete fighters at bases in the states? Where is such a fiasco planned for the loss of flight personnel?

You can ask a lot of questions, and the answer will be clear not from the declaration, but from the results - they will be able to prepare, which means they will fight ...

[fiberboard]

How many flight schools do we have now? Serdyukov closed everything. And air defense schools too. It's good that the Ukrainians do not have aviation. Otherwise, “zeroed”, he would ask to be treated with understanding when there would be firebrands left from Moscow.

[ASM]

To make plans and make advertising campaigns is a lot for this. Only they have a shortage in the army, and I don’t know where they are going to recruit good specialists, and the pilots are very good specialists. Moreover, every pilot needs a car, a team of competent technicians and engineers.

Maybe you are right, but as one veteran said back in the 2000s to the question of a liberal journalist, "So you fought and won, but can today's youth be able to do the same as you?"
The veteran thought for a minute and clearly answered CAN! Something will work for them at the right moment in their souls, like it was terrible for us at that time ..
P / S / The 500s have already fled from the fifth column. And most of the real Russians are left!

[Mint Gingerbread]

It seems to me that it is easier at such costs to develop new types of missiles and equipment so that the enemy is afraid to lift aircraft into the air

[TermNachTer]

Their plans are "Napoleonic", given that the flyers from the Air Force scatter))))

[Petr_Koldunov]

Do they believe that in the event of a military conflict, will they run out of aviators in the amount of one and a half thousand a year?

[cat hippopotamus]

Where are they being "stamped" so much that so many of them are dying?

[Fangaro]

Is 1500 a year really a lot?
Or does it also depend on to what level, for what types and other clarifications that you can’t find out about from the news?
