A Ukrainian pilot who trained for two years in America died during “one of the first combat missions he flew” upon returning to his home country to fight in the US’ proxy war with Russia.
When Russia invaded Ukraine last February, Capt. Vladyslav Savieliev, a Ukrainian Air Force pilot with deep experience flying MiG-29 fighter jets against Russian forces, desperately wanted to fight for his country.
But Savieliev, who at the time was enrolled in a two-year selective pilot training course run by the U.S. military at a Mississippi Air Force Base, still had another year to go before completing the program.
Savieliev, known by his call sign “Nomad,” finally returned to Ukraine after graduating in March from the U.S. military’s Aviation Leadership Program, an undergraduate pilot training course designed to boost military relationships with foreign nations. He died weeks later on a combat mission June 2, the Ukrainian Air Force announced last week.
[…] Savieliev finally completed the course in March and returned to Ukraine after not flying in his old jet, the MiG-29, for at least two years.
He died on one of the first combat missions he flew after returning from the United States, Fischer said.
The neocons running this war like Eliot A. Cohen stated from the beginning that this was a US proxy war with Russia and the US should seek to drag it on for as long as possible to make Russia pay a “price” for its “aggression.”
“Our” government is training their pilots to go on suicide missions and sending their crewmen tanks to be blown up in in open fields just to drag down Russia’s GDP.
