    Link to translation:

    Edit:

    Sorry Google translate is too stupid to be able to link to translations. Go to https://translate.google.com/ Select “ukranian” as language
    select “websites”
    copy/paste url
    select ukranian again because Google…
    Maybe if you are lucky it works.

    If anyone can create a link that actually works, please explain how?

      Key quotes:

      [Even] before it was known which aircraft would replace our outdated Soviet fleet, we already started working on changing the concept and training. That is, we already understood during these exercises that our approaches, our procedures are very different. And it was the partner pilots, not only American pilots, but also from other countries, who formed a kind of online training courses so that we would know in which direction to move, and then to improve and speed up the retraining for the F-16 aircraft.

      […]

      And of course, everyone wants to get the planes as quickly as possible, but that’s not usually how things are done. Aviation is a very complex system, it is not one tank or one artillery installation. There’s a lot of staff on the plane and it’s a big system. And a pilot or a technician is a small cog in a big system.

        IDK if it’s just me, but your link doesn’t seem to work either?

        But it’s great that they like the planes, and consider them an upgrade over the Russian planes they are used to.

          Dunno… works for me on mobile, in both Safari and Duck Duck Go. Nothing particularly unique about the URL, either.

            Weird I’ve tried in Firefox and Falkon which AFAIK is webkit like Safari. Doesn’t work in either, smells a bit like Google shenanigans.
