There is no greater difficulty in training than fighter pilot training. This was stated by aviation expert Valeriy Romanenko, speaking about the downed Tu-22 during the We Are Ukraine telethon, UNN reports.

Details

Valeriy Romanenko emphasized that this fighter jet has a specific crew - two pilots and two other operators. It was reported that at least one pilot was killed. According to the aviation expert, such a loss is costly for Russia.

One flight to the full range of this aircraft consumes 55 thousand liters of kerosene. A second-class pilot has to fly several hundred hours - you can calculate the cost of training. It's not so much about the "golden fund" in terms of their qualifications as the cost of training

the expert explained on the program. 

Recall

As a result of the operation, the DIU, in cooperation with the Air Force, destroyed a Tu-22MZ bomber that was firing missiles at Ukraine on the night of April 19. The enemy aircraft was shot down at a distance of about 300 kilometers from Ukraine using the same means that had previously destroyed the Russian A-50.

AFU Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk statedthat for the first time, anti-aircraft missile units of the AFU in cooperation with intelligence destroyed a Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber with two X-22 cruise missiles.

Russia confirmed the death of one of the pilots of the downed Tu-22M3 bomber.
