Following the shortage of aircraft, the Ukrainian Air Force no longer has enough military pilots.

In the Air Force of Ukraine, massive layoffs of military pilots began, who, as it turned out, were no longer interested in service due to lack of flight training, low salaries and the plight of the Ukrainian Air Force itself.

According to the Ukrainian media, 2020 military pilots have resigned from service in the Ukrainian Air Force since 140, and it is planned to dismiss another 40 officers by the end of this year, which indicates a rather problematic situation in the ranks of the Ukrainian Air Force. It is reported that, in addition to the lack of a stable salary, "paperwork" has increased significantly, flight training has decreased, and pressure from the authorities has increased many times - this is how one of the former Ukrainian Air Force pilots commented on the situation.

“Three quarters of our service today in terms of time is filling out all kinds of reports, forms, drawing up and renewing plans. Time for flight training is melting ", - follows from his words.

Today, the Ukrainian Air Force is going through a very serious crisis and, in all likelihood, the Ukrainian Air Force as such may cease to exist altogether, which, by the way, is quite likely. understand in Kiev and therefore are switching to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles instead of combat aircraft.
