According to the MPs, technicians and mechanics are being transferred from air units en masse, which may affect the combat capability of the aviation. Today, the parliament failed to summon the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces to explain the transfer of air force specialists to the infantry.
The General Staff assuredthat there are no plans to transfer the severely shortage of Air Force specialists to infantry units. However, due to the difficult situation at the front, certain categories of Air Force personnel are being reinforced by the ground and air assault troops.
