The command deliberately sent us to certain death: occupier pilot's confession
The captured pilot shot down near Mykolaiv told that the command sent him and other pilots to certain death.
RBC-Ukraine reported this with reference to a press conference on March 11.
"Our command, when sending us on a combat flight, didn't inform us that in the territory of Ukraine, in particular in the territory of the Mykolaiv regions, there are any means of air defense. That is, they deliberately sent us to certain death," the downed pilot told.
He added that he and other pilots were used as "bait."
