RE: Ukraine’s air force is now allowing foreigners to sign up as pilots as it pushes for Western fighter jets
And which foreigner who can fly these fighter jets are foolish enough to sign up?
Just yesterday, HotAir had a story about Russia wanting foreign troops showed how “desperate” they are that they’re “fast running out of men.”
But I guess everything is peachy-keen in Ukraine when they’re doing the same?
No, absolutely no.
(Thanks for asking, however.)
One time flight. Kamakazis.
I think Putin could arrange for cheap Chinese pilots and Chinese A&P technicians labor by way of the Biden Family Syndicate, and The Big Guy can get his 10% toward his 2024 basement campaign. See? Everybody gets their beak wet.
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.
No now to it
Been doing it
Is that a Russian pilot on the way to work?
I’m always impressed by the hatred for Ukraine.
Hardly, they have 600,000 they haven’t sent in yet. Hot Air is full of well...hot air.
