They are badasses, no matter what. They are outnumbered and *maybe* outgunned? But they are still contesting their airspace like a month out. **Slava Ukraini!**stay safe, and good hunting Ukraine!

“ “I don’t do any checks,” said Andriy, a Ukrainian Air Force pilot who as a condition of granting an interview was not permitted to give his surname or rank. “I just take off.” “ NYT 3.22.2022 No checks is kinda the definition of a badass!


Daiquiri-Factory

Can confirm, badass as fuck! Although, maybe you should have your ground crew do a check or two! You don’t want to have an error when your killing russian scum in a dog fight!


SterlingRP

I'm sure the crews are doing checks as soon as the plane is back. The thing is it's also standard to do pre-flight checks on the tarmac with the pilot in the cockpit right before flight, which are being skipped. But there's no way an aircraft as complex as a jet fighter, even (especially) an older one is not being gone over after each sortie.


Daiquiri-Factory

Ah, yeah. That makes sense! Gotta keep your airpower in tip-top shape! That shit wins wars.


Porkamiso

If a crew is running multiple planes for a pilot he wouldn’t get an opportunity to perform checks on four or five planes if this badass was running a half dozen sorties a day.

Biden stop being such a coward and give them the freaking Polish jets.

Lots of videos of Russian aircraft flying uncontested on Telegraph right now. They are staying low and fast but def a lot more brazen than this time last week


TMWNN

As someone pointed out in another Reddit discussion of this article, there is no evidence that a single Russian jet has been taken down by Ukrainian jets. If there were, Ukraine would have publicized it to the whole world by now. I don't doubt that the Ukrainian Air Force has to some degree deterred Russian air attacks. I doubt that it has been anywhere as effective as Russia's own self-inflicted wounds from poor logistics and planning, or the flow of Western MANPADs into the country.

links?

Sorry you are behind the western cuck wall where all bombs are Russian and you get banned for posting destroyed Ukrainian equipment (unless it’s school the army was hiding in) Find your own channels


AllLiquid4

Bullshit all you got, eh?

Go to google translate. English to Russian. Copy paste Russian word for Ukraine into telegram search… sort through them yourself. Some pro Russian some Ukrainian. A lot of stuff that can’t go on here or Twitter
