Crew Incompetence: Britain has commented on the fall of airbombs in the Russian Federation

The UK's defensive department noted that such events indicate the fatigue and insufficient training of Russian pilots, which leads to inefficient combat tasks. Russian crews of combat aircraft show fatigue and incompetence, which caused the emergency ascent of aviation bombs that have fallen in the Russian Federation, as well as in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. On January 10, the press service of the UK Ministry of Defense reported.

The department noted the two incidents that occurred last week. Thus, on January 2, 2024, one of their aircraft issued an aviation ammunition, which damaged nine dwellings in the settlement of Petropavlivka, the Voronezh region of the Russian Federation. This case was confirmed by the Ministry of Defense of Russia.

The second incident, which occurred on January 8, 2024, was connected with the launch of an unmanaged Fab-250 bomb over the occupied village of the Rubizhne Luhansk region, which was confirmed by the occupying power of the LNR. "Both cases occurred during Russian combat departments," British intelligence said. The message also mentioned a similar case in the Belgorod region, when on April 20, 2023, a "freelance discharge of aviation ammunition" occurred.

According to the British, this tendency indicates the fatigue and insufficient preparation of Russian pilots, which leads to ineffective execution of tactical techniques during flights. Earlier, the UK Ministry of Defense reported that in Russia they had strengthened the organization of "Moscow's Government Safety", which was created after the Wagner PEC rebellion in the summer of 2023.
