Washington believes that mutual understanding between American and Russian pilots in the Syrian sky depends on the knowledge of the representatives of the Russian Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation in the Syrian sky

121
The administration of the American president knows how to avoid incidents involving American and Russian aircraft in Syrian airspace. It turns out that all that is needed for this is knowledge of the English language by Russian pilots. White House spokesman Josh Ernest, who commented on negotiations between the Russian and US military through a special communication channel, cites RIA News:

We have already described these meetings as practical discussions at the operational level, aimed at ensuring that their (RFLR) activity does not conflict with ours. This would ensure that Russian pilots act in accordance with international safety regulations. This ensures that pilots use internationally accepted communication channels during operations, speak English so that we can avoid accidents.




That is, the White House now seriously believes that the “recognized communication channel” of military pilots and not only pilots is negotiations in English. Apparently, all the recent incidents that occurred in different countries of the world with American planes are connected precisely with the lack of knowledge of American English. So, for example, a strike on an F-16 plane by a US Air Force inflicted by the Taliban in Afghanistan, after which the plane had to get to the base without firearms and fuel tanks. The Taliban simply did not understand English, and instead of standing still and waiting for the American pilots to drop the democratic bomb on them, they suddenly started firing from MANPADS ...

        The Russian language has an advantage - it is enough for the Americans and everyone else

        to learn just a few words ... (everyone knows which ones).

        Expressions are short and easy to pronounce by speakers of any language

        It will be enough to understand that it's time to dump ...

              Well, in vain you are so, in our Air Force (VeVeS, not to be confused with the BBC) pretty well everyone knows foreign languages.
              And to the question: How do you do?

                It is important here not to identify (although, I don’t know, out of sight it is possible to identify the plane’s affiliation?), But to understand whether it’s time to dump away

                  - Well, how do you imagine recognition by appearances at near-sound speeds, especially when approaching?

                  As far as I know (flyers - correct), in a non-combat situation the aircraft turns on the transponder and answers who it is and what it is.
                  In addition, the ground services or DLRO aircraft also identify targets and provide their pilot with data.

                  In a combat situation, a friend-or-foe recognition system also works, but here, most likely, it is binary: yes / no without any characteristics.

          Well, I somehow did a job with a child about languages ​​and we had a source from the UN on this topic. In general, your table is slightly incorrect. The Chinese language has a bunch of dialects, sometimes more distant than Croatian and Russian, for example, and there are other numbers in other languages. But here it is certainly worth understanding what is taken as a basis. In some versions, the Russian language falls into 5 ku. But if I’m not mistaken, then Spanish is definitely higher than English or at a level (although in your version it’s also approximately) About Russian, if I’m not mistaken it says that they know at such a level that they prefer to communicate up to 400 million and just know and can communicate up to 500 million. I don’t know where they got these numbers from, but I saw a report from the UN or some international organization under the auspices of the United Nations. It was three years ago, and I may have forgotten something, but still

      Our officers are educated and English knows. And, I think, even American aviation slang knows. Moreover, they trained on radio interception, others would not have been sent.
      However, according to studies in the United States, Russians have a much higher command efficiency when they switch to taboo vocabulary in an extreme situation, due to the brevity and figurativeness of their phrases. So, on average, in the United States, a team occupies 10,2 characters, we have 3,2. But the Americans, even after intercepting the "great and mighty" negotiations, will not decipher laughing

I think they know not only English except their native. but the population of English-speaking countries, in the majority know only English. it is an easy language, therefore languages ​​like Russian, German (complex) are really difficult for them to learn, therefore they do not learn.

      When analyzing World War II, American military historians
      discovered a very interesting fact. Namely: in case of sudden
      clashing with the forces of the Japanese Americans are usually much
      made decisions faster and, as a result, even won
      superior enemy forces. Having examined this pattern,
      scientists have concluded that the average word length in Americans
      is 5,2 characters, while the Japanese have 10,8 and therefore
      it takes 56% less time to issue orders, which in a short battle
      plays an important role ... For the sake of "interest" they analyzed
      Russian speech, and it turned out that the word length in Russian
      is 7,2 characters per word (average), but with critical
      situations, the Russian-speaking commanding staff switches to non-normative
      vocabulary and word length is reduced to ... 3,2 characters per word. it
      due to the fact that some phrases and even phrases are replaced
      In a word. (There, for example, the phrase "32nd! Ё ___ and
      to this __yu - “I order the 32nd to immediately destroy the enemy
      tank firing at our positions ")

I talked with my friends (waiters friends from Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine) more conveniently: sometimes I spoke German in Russian, Ukrainian, even German with a German, and he was pleased and I had practice. In general, including on working moments, when speed and understanding are important (pass the salt, take out that dish, etc.), and in the noise and din of the dining room this could hardly offend anyone.
      Americans sincerely believe that everyone owes them. They constantly pulled us: Speak English. They were furious that there were other languages ​​and they did not understand them.
      (our girl was once again spoken out by a thick American: Speak English! The answer was: Eat less! / Eat less! laughing )

      In general, since they are illegally in the Syrian airspace, which they need to be reminded of, and we are legitimate, let them learn Russian or Arabic. Although it seems to me that all Syrian pilots speak Russian, they probably studied with us.

        In the Krasnodar Territory, foreigners are treated quite normally and a foreigner will always be helped to find a way. In hotels, electric trains and signs in English, information for foreign guests is duplicated.

        Our pilots know English as an international aviation language, however, the expediency of communicating with the Americans should be decided by specialists who know more than the technical aspects of this issue. The USA of Russia refused joint rescue of pilots and they come to cooperation when it is profitable for them. In my opinion, the Russian Federation does not have much need for conversations in the sky with US pilots.

      “Bombs dropped,” Sergeant Knight reported from behind.
      — Was the bridge bombed? asked McWatt.
      - How should I know, sir? I was thrown so hard that I couldn’t see. And now everything is covered in smoke and nothing can be seen.
      - Hey Aarfi, did the bombs hit their target?
      - To what purpose? - asked the plump navigator Captain Aardvaark, who was always puffing on his pipe, rummaging through a pile of maps laid out on Yossarian’s side. -Have we already reached our goal?
      “Yossarian, did the bombs hit their target?”
