Pilots and those who refused to fight: a pilot who handed over to Ukraine Mi-8 told about the Aviation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (video)

The Russian pilot of the Mi-8 helicopter Maxim Kuzminov, who flew to Ukraine on a helicopter and, under the terms of the agreement with GUR, will receive half a million dollars, told about not fully rational use of aviation in the Russian Federation and gave an example with the transportation of a cat by the commander. This was reported on Volodymyr Zolkin's YouTube channel. The pilot said he knew about many cases where military resources are used irrationally.

In particular, when the commander needed to transport the cat. "He seems like a purebred one. He played the role of cover from the boards. According to him, there were three people on board the helicopters at this time, and the flight lasted about an hour. According to Kuzminov, about 15-20 pilots were killed from his acquaintances of pilots. He also added that the Russian Federation has sufficient amount of military equipment.

"There are a lot of techniques, and there are many helicopters and a lot of planes," he explained. Kuzminov's salary in the ranks of the Russian army amounted to 150 thousand rubles a month, at the same time the mobilized received a claimed salary within up to 200 thousand rubles. However, according to the pilot, not all mobilized pay salaries. "Not everyone is paid. Secondly, it is that the people just go," the pilot said. Russian flight schools have virtually no competition for pilots.

"If there were 10 or 7 people in a place, now they take everyone. The competition is two people in place. The required number," he said, adding that the level of training of Russian pilots is a little worrying. During the rebellion of Yevgeny Prigogine among the Russian pilots were those who refused to participate in the suppression of the Marsh of the Wagner. "There were guys who refused to fly. Half an hour later, the car arrived, they were handcuffed.
