There is a significant decrease in the level of training among Russian pilots. This was stated by the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of defense of Ukraine Andrey Yusov on the air of "We are Ukraine", reports UNN.
According to him, Russian pilots already have significantly fewer flight hours.
"A decrease in the level of training is observed even in such high-tech professions as military pilots, for example. And the standards for training combat helicopters, for example, they are now underestimated by the occupiers both in terms of the number of flight hours and in many other indicators. This, in turn, has the results of losses not only in combat, but also in the very accidents that we regularly observe on the territory of the Russian Federation from time to time. So yes, in general, the level there has decreased. This should not be too encouraging for us, because there are just a lot of them. As well as technology, and a lot of iron. But this definitely increases the losses among the invaders and occupiers," said Andrey Yusov.
Recall that on the evening of December 5, the Defense Forces destroyed a Russian Su-24M bomber near Zmeiny island. The plane was just about to launch a missile and bomb attack on the south of the Odessa region, but went after the "Russian warship".
