Russia won't run out of pilots but their quality will diminish – Ukraine's Air Force Russia continues to train pilots, but many professional pilots have been killed or wounded in the war in Ukraine by now. Source: Yurii Ihnat, spokesman for Ukraine’s Air Force, on the national 24/7 newscast Quote from Ihnat: "Russia continues to train pilots; training centres are operating. In terms of the number of pilots graduating, it’s around 100-150 individuals each year. Obviously, we aren't putting a lot of hope into Russia running out of pilots. But it’s [obvious] that the quality of the Russian personnel will diminish. This is war." Details: According to Ihnat, many of the pilots Russia deployed to Ukraine had fought in Syria; they were among the best Russian pilots. Many of them will no longer be able to operate aircraft, whether because they have been killed, wounded, or captured by Ukrainian forces. Talking about Russia losing five aircraft on 13 May (two military planes and three helicopters), Ihnat noted that Russian propaganda is considering many possible lines of enquiry, blaming a wide range of suspects – from Russian partisans to Ukrainian fighter jets, from Russian or Ukrainian anti-aircraft defence systems to Ukrainian partisans operating MANPADS, among others. "There are many versions, they’re in a state of hysteria, and we’re quite entertained by it," Ihnat added. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/05/15/7402257/ |

Been speculating
If Lukashenko has been poisoned in Moscow. Then I wonder why!? He is one of Putins strongest supporters. The only reason I possibly could find, is that he refuse to join Putins war in Ukraine. No doubt that if he is dead Putin would put a puppet in his place and then we have the trouble. Markus

Not good news at all Jim, I hope Ukraine fights back harder but trying to do so without destroying the city is very hard!!

The Neue Zürcher Zeitung summarises everything relevant about Crimea in one piece:
The author Andreas Umland is an analyst at the Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies (SCEEUS) of the Swedish Institute of International Affairs (UI). Quote:
Retaking its territory on Crimea is without alternative for the Ukraine.

Pretty much impossible given that the Bakmut is already in complete ruins.
