> you dont understand whats going on > pilots get free training then at the end fail tests on purpose and go on living their lives because only retard would sign up on a sucide missions to fly againtst russian ad. the problem is that they get sent to fly against russian ad regardless. if they can get 6-18 months of government funded vidya training, and not be sent to the front then it is a hoholian young mans dream. and in a large pool of some 200 men who get to train against simulated ad (where they all "learn how to survive"), there is bound to be a good number of motivated volunteers. it's just the nature of men. you had people in russian prisons with a week left on their sentences who signed up as storm troopers for wagner. even free volunteers with normal jobs actively seeking those positions (not to mention chosen company in ukraine) where death and/or injury is almost guaranteed.   > intrigued - how do you know this swedeanon? it's in western articles. for leopard training, most had basic infantry training, only 20% had any experience with military vehicles and they had to learn basic tank operations and combined arms warfare with the tanks (and coordinating with artillery etc) in 6 weeks. some of the soldiers were pulled from the trenches and sent to munster on rotation for the expedited training programme.   > pilots are not stupid, they know they are lambs > i wouldnt surprise one bit to find out the pilots called the russians and told them where the planes were that's almost certainly true. but in a large pool of recruits you will find motivated people even now. in particular if you spoon feed them propaganda and teach them how to survive against russian ad, even if the scenarios are intentionally skewed for survival. you will have a fairly large percentage who believes that they can survive. i know because swedish officers still believe that nlaw among other systems are destroying thousands of russian tanks.
