Military expert Vladimir Evseev and military political scientist Oleg Glazunov on the air of Sputnik radio shared their opinion on what the aircrew of the Ukrainian air Force is like.The qualified flight personnel of the Ukrainian air forces have actually been eliminated by the Russian Aerospace Forces and air defense systems, RIA Novosti reports with reference to a military-diplomatic source.

[...]

According to him, the Ukrainian command attracts former cadets of the Kharkiv Military Institute of the Air Forces of Ukraine to the solution of combat tasks, who did not have time to finish training. They are shot down, if not on the first, then already on the second sortie, the source noted.

We are talking about the pilots of the MiG-29, Su-27 and Su-25 aircraft.

The day before, the Russian Defense Ministry said that since the beginning of the special operation in Ukraine, 274 aircraft and 148 helicopters have been destroyed.

On the air of Sputnik radio, the head of the department of the Institute of CIS Countries, military expert Vladimir Evseev noted that the situation indicates the degradation of the flight personnel of the Ukrainian Air Force.

"There are practically no second-class pilots left in Ukraine, in addition, it became known about the death of the most famous pilots, as they believe in Ukraine, assov. In conditions when there are almost no planes in Ukraine, third-class pilots have long breaks in flights, because they simply have nothing to fly on, the flight crew of the Ukrainian Air Force is degrading. And even if we hypothetically assume that Soviet equipment will be delivered from somewhere, then such aircraft will be shot down in the first battles. Please note that the latest experience of combat use of Ukrainian manned aviation – the planes did not even work in pairs, they were single aircraft. And the work of a single aircraft with such a level of pilot qualification with a high degree of probability threatens that it will be shot down," Vladimir Evseev said.

Expert of the Association of Military Political Scientists, Associate Professor of the Department of Political Science and Sociology of the Russian University of Economics. Plekhanova Oleg Glazunov, in turn, noted the lack of coherence of the Ukrainian troops.

"They have nothing left of the Air Force. I don't see their aviation working effectively. They do not have both a strong top level and a well-trained lower level, in addition, the Ukrainian army does not have such combat experience and coherence of troops as the Russian army. After all, war is not only the offensive of aviation, infantry or tanks – it is joint actions, the coherence of troops. The Ukrainian army holds on only due to the fact that the whole Western world supports it with weapons," Oleg Glazunov said on Sputnik radio.
