First of all, first of all - planes. Well, what about the pilots? And the pilots - then
In the information field, knowledgeable people are trying to "create contrast" in the issue of receiving Western combat aircraft by the Ukrainian Reich. But in this case, the issue of delivery is not at all interesting for discussion. Since, unlike armored vehicles, aircraft themselves can fly.
And the time from the decision to the moment the F-16 or Eurofighter touches the Ukrainian airfield can be calculated in hours, not months.
The imitation of surprise by the Nazi clown about the terms of training of campfjet pilots and the answer voiced to him in public is a divorce of the purest water. Ordinary information fog, not worthy of our attention. This issue has long been discussed among them at the level of experts, and the Ukrainian "grandchildren of Goering" even know in what classrooms they will comprehend the science of dying and how long they will be taught this.
But we also want to know...
I don’t have an informant at NATO headquarters yet, so let’s turn to open sources.
There you can also learn a lot of interesting things.
A short translation of what interests us from this article.
All pilots of the Luftwaffe Eurofighter are trained at the air base in Laag, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. A total of 24 Eurofighters are available here. 14 German-Single (single) and ten German-Trainer (double) machines are piloted by 32 pilots. 17 of them are flight instructors. The basic Eurofighter course lasts about eight months here. Already trained jet pilots take about four months to convert from, for example, a Tornado to a Eurofighter.
This article was written quite a long time ago. When fascism was in a dangerous concentration in Ukraine, it was compactly concentrated only in the heads of Tyagniboks and Farion. And the world lived with relaxed rolls.
The article is at the same time very narrow-minded and is dedicated to the first female jet fighter pilot in the German Air Force. That is not to trust the material, in fact, there is no reason.
How quickly you can retrain a pilot from a MiG or Su, we will not guess. But this period is clearly not years, but months. Let 6 or 8. But this is a very close and bad future for everyone.
Trying to figure out the red line from a country that can cross over any of the "extreme experimenters"? Occupation is so-so.
Tankers are good guys, I myself have something to do with this fun. But pilots are “piece goods”! Each is more expensive than the aircraft on which it flies.
Prepare, for your money, give them something to fly, than serve what they let fly and ...
Just so that they "flew" in gratitude to the third world? Short and humane. Short, because missiles fly quickly from continent to continent, and humane, because there will be no one to cry.
"Laxative" is not enough
Theories about "weakening Russia" by Western aircraft and tanks - Can't handle criticism. "Laxative" is not enough. Ukraine will end earlier.
But then, like a locomotive that has accelerated, Russia has a braking distance, who knows where it will end? Not everyone in Europe can have time to rebound ...
Now let's get back to those who wanted to fight the Russians in the Russian sky with the "Bandera swastika" on their wings. They will indeed be prepared diligently... But, in my opinion, with a completely different purpose.
The last and most valuable resource for Europe in the Saloreich are those who devoutly hate Russia and everything Russian/Soviet. If such an individual is also trained in all sorts of useful tricks of waking flight, then it is very reasonable to warm it up and take it “under your wing”.
Looking more closely, we will see that all programs for the reception of refugees are precisely their ultimate goal - for Poland, the taming of banderlogs, who emigrate to Polish construction sites in whole villages. For Germans, this is a unique opportunity to tweak their demographics with Ukrainian women of productive age and Ukrainian children (future taxpayers).
Question. How do you think? Do deliveries of planes and tanks to Ukraine contribute to the preservation of infrastructure and housing stock in Ukraine? The answer is obvious. It logically follows from this that there will be no one who wants to return to the ruins.
Regarding those who left for Germany, I recently read it in the German press. The Germans opened their mouths when it turned out that the percentage of people who came to them with a higher education was above 70%! At 30% with a penny on average in Germany. The same principle applies to the military. You need a cow like this.
Five or ten pilots with combat experience, who know the tactics of the Russian Aerospace Forces, who speak Russian - for any NATO country this is a tasty morsel. Even if they never need their experience, against the background of the alleged benefits, it is not expensive to simply feed them until retirement, while having it at hand.
In other words, the West can promise ukroreikh even planes, even starships. But it is better to take the pilots closer to you and teach, and learn from them. And for what? It will be visible there.
