As much as this is Air Crew related, it would be interesting hearing from the people who kept these aeroplanes airworthy.
I am sure you have heard of WIWOL?

This is like listening to Borat wearing a crash helmet

Unless they move the maintenance and parts manufacturing out of the known manufacturing sites they are vulnerable to being destroyed and maintenance reduced to zero.
That they are using jets that require parts that can only be sourced from Russia means they really need to move to a western jet last year.
Yes that means training, but at least they will have a jet instead of a lawn ornament.

RIP to this hero who died yesterday. Latest reports say his mig29 collided with another mig29.

Glory to the heroes and LONG LIVE UKRAINE 🇺🇦

That fact these guys are still flying is a testament to the resilience of the Ukrainians and the complete ineptitude of the Russians

[TheRadiag]

Interesting to hear from someone, who's currently fighting
(little typo: description says MiG-19 pilot, think that should be 29)

[sbreheny]

Interesting and I can understand his wearing the helmet and visor to hide his identity, but having the mask hanging off like that during an interview at a desk just looks silly.

It would be strange if there was no propaganda on the channel about military aircrafts.
But, gentlemens - this is already somewhere in the area of a full bottom

"Juice" and "Moon" The Ukrainian air force pilots🤣🤣🤣. I can't believe people are taking these dudes seriously. Fighter pilots with beards 🧔😆

[JagdgeschwaderX]

Maybe should have interviewed the Ghost of Kiev who, like the Ukrainian Airforce, doesn't exist.

[Davros-viqg]

Talks like a fighter pilot, used his hands like a fighter pilot, gets animated talking about flying/fighting like a fighter pilot. A bitches about the avionics and weapons like a fighter pilot. Probs a fighter pilot. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🫡

[USNdos]

You know the Ukrainian Air Force is hard up when they've got guys who look like they just spent 6 months living on the street flying what remains of their air fleet. What, does Ukraine not have razors any more?

[JagdgeschwaderX]

Ha ha ha are you joking!?? The Ukrainian Airforce barely exists other than the odd Su-25 and Helicopter.
