NATO countries are looking for pilots for Soviet aircraft for Ukraine

Recently, there has been activity by the intelligence services of NATO countries, mainly Great Britain and the United States, in the search for active or retired pilots with skills in piloting Soviet-made aircraft, ready for "fruitful cooperation." This is reported by Turkish information resources, without hiding the fact that in their country there are many people from the ex-USSR, as well as Asia and Africa, where such aircraft and helicopters were operated or are still in service.

It is clarified that, first of all, the Western "partners" are interested in the pilots of the MiG-29, Su-24, Su-25, Mi-8, Mi-24 and even the Czechoslovak combat training L-39 (Aero L-39 "Albatross"). The “aviation coalition” recently created from Kyiv’s allies wants to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine form four new air regiments previously announced by the Ukrainian authorities. The training of Ukrainian pilots takes a certain amount of time, not to mention the training of some of them on Western-made aircraft. Where 100-140 units of the above-mentioned aircraft will come from is not specified.



It is known that negotiations were held with citizens of Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt and Angola. Sudan has recently been added to this list. A civil war broke out there, and many planes were destroyed on the ground, and the pilots were left without work. Now they are trying to hire them to participate in hostilities against Russia on the side of Ukraine. Considering that the list of countries with experience in operating Soviet aircraft and helicopters is much larger, we should expect an expansion of the above list.
