kraine's Air Force said it will now allow foreigners to serve as pilots and engineering specialists, with a spokesperson stressing the fact that Ukraine will likely need international recruits if and when it starts to receive Western combat aircraft.
Yurii Ihnat, a spokesperson for the commander of Ukraine's air force, said in a statement Thursday that foreign citizens will be able to join if they have suitable military training.
"If they have a military occupation such as a pilot or aviation engineer, then these people can legally become servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," he said.

There might be a slight language problem when the recruited Westerner pilots cannot speak Ukrainian to understand the orders of their superiors or fellow pilots on two-way radios while in combat.
A few years ago, I saw a Russian-made bulldozer for sale in Tennessee. It had instructions printed on placards attached to its steel body regarding the machine’s proper operation but the instructions were in Russian.
Flying a jet fighter is not an old man's game. These days, it's actually an AI robot's game. Although China is currently winning this war on all fronts, one thing that could ruin their worker bee economy is a western leap in robot technology.
How long has it been since the last time you were banned?
You want my history since around 2000 on and off?
I keep coming back cause it’s a good site for updated news. But there’s other ones lately that are a lot better. FR’s pretty much a dead site, no updates since I first got on here around 2000.
I don’t mind a ban, rejoin. It’s useless to me, the ones that make me cringe are the ones that act like a join date matter on this site.
The important thing is what they have done with what the West has given them, Ukraine has been extraordinary against Russia.
We give them our old weapons stored to defeat Russia, and we don’t have to pay to dispose of them and they are being used against the country they were supposed to be used against.
Sure, but start with the last one.
I don’t even keep track, just useless random usernames. Does that help you guys keep track of future bannings?
I could probably dig up 10 year old email addresses and IPs, would that help? Heh
I was just curious about how long ago the last one was.
You offered and I said sure, thinking you were being honest.
The Ukraine is just a proxy for NATO. The combined forces of NATO are fighting Russia and losing, using Ukrainians as canon fodder and photo ops. No one seems to care that NATO is putting the Ukraine and its infrastructure into the woodchipper as it battles Russia.
You reported and banned for honesty, that’s how this site is run. Don’t blow your money here!
It’s a spiderweb of conservative users that hate you and JR.
This is one of your alternates? How many do you have?
If NATO ever joins the fight you would know it, all they are doing is helping a little with a few old things.
We are Legion.
Cmon, you made that too easy
Two isn’t exactly “legion”.
Nobody cares man, heh.. I prefer making fun of DU posts on other forums anyway, but you goofy people are calling..
Two is all you could come up with.
Want me to do 100? Tiresome, I’m not going for it. Hey FR people, do like DU and just ban anyone too ‘wacky’ which is their style.
I can’t fake it on here. I’m actually conserv. I hate Russia, and I hate Jim Robinson for being an old crippled bastard 20 years ago.
And I feel sorry for you and anyone that kisses his and his family’s ass on this stupid forum. Ban, whatever.
The Wagner group is begging for more soldiers. My usual war site just posted their “plea”
