      I believe it would be better to find an ukranian or russian translator and let the guys speak in their native language at the interviews. it is clear that some of them are really struggling and the communication is difficult. Great job tho

      @Willy OAM please get these people that keep hitting me up saying I won something, I'm going to leave a stark warning to those people, my brother works for a hacking program for the US and will use his skills for me to get rid of you and if you have a group of people. I can find you map you and have your computer, and all electronics connected disabled for good. that included even if you're charging you phone, your 3d printers connected through Klipper, your server, even you monitor wot ever turn on again. last stark warning the last Russian that infiltrated another youtubers posts, we had him marked and now every day since oct. 21st he has been receiving fun activities in his front yard, painted his house everyday a different color with whatever they want to paint and yes some get out of control will Molotov cocktails, luckily he wasn't hurt but just know I don't advocate for violence but if happens because you won't stop and someone else attacks you. that's your fault. again, that you WILLY you're a legend and a hero to me in the film sense wise. you're doing what I dreamed to do as a kid. I always wanted to be in military, but health derailed me too and Willy please let us know in a short if you go back to ukraine because if so, I will make sure I have the money saved to send to you to help out brother.

    Worth watching in full despite the communication problems.
    Really interesting to hear a Pilot's perspective on the war.
    As he said the helicopter relief and resupply missions into Mariupol are already legend.
    The footage and commentary on those is well worth searching out on UA-cam.
    The stories of the soldiers brought in and the wounded recovered before Russia caught on and shut or shot down the last flights are pretty moving.
    His words about fellow pilots from Crimea and at the end of the video regarding Russian aircrew denying responsibility for their actions were good to hear.
    Thanks for the interview.

      Absolutely, same with the initial invasion, many btg's could claim they were just following the group in front... But the aviation assets and missions? Yeah right you don't take off with a random amount of fuel and weapons then recieve a target package in mid flight unless doing close air support... The initial invasion and later bombing missions were briefed before the aircraft were even prepared for that particular mission... Maybe hours, maybe days... They knew as much as most high level commanders what the strategies were.

    Absolute fxcking legend. I would love for you to have this guy back on in a few months the time Willy. I think it’s guests like this that should get a repeat. They have a level of understanding of the war and where it’s going that those on the ground are simply unaware of. We need to start training their pilots on the f16 or whatever it is we decide they should operate. This should have already started. Taking a current fulcrum pilot I think a decent f16 conversion could be done in a little less than a year. Then it will be the issue of the aircraft itself. This fulcrum pilot is talking about modern f16s. That would entail AESA main sensor. I doubt they would get this. But a block 50/52 f-16C I think would be a pretty decent fit.
