Comments by "Chris Hayward" (@1chish) on "UK commitment to train Ukrainian pilots 'smart move'" video.
Excellent comment. The Typhoons are designed to be inherently unstable to allow razor sharp handling and manoeuvring in air combat. Stability control is therefore entirely by computer which allows the pilot to have more situational awareness as he / she needs to do less work to maintain control.

@xNGCyanide I notice you immediately made it personal by demanding his 'credentials'. If you disagree with his argument then offer a viable alternative argument. Of course you will now have to prove YOUR 'credentials' as you started that angle.

It is misleading to compare training of fighter pilots from scratch (which takes years) with converting already trained and skilled het fighter pilots on to a new asset or to learn new tactics. That does not take long. I suggested before that Ukrainian Tankies had been all over Challengers for some time before the UK announced it was releasing Challenger MBTs to Ukraine. I was proved right when Sunak and Zelensky visited Dorset and it appears they have been there for some weeks. Similarly I believe that Ukrainian fighter pilots have been in the UK working on simulators and other training for weeks and the announcement of our Tranche 1 FGR4 Typhoons going to Ukraine will happen in a couple of weeks given the approvals we will need from Eurofighter partners. Italy and Spain will not be a problem but Germany may well be.

Why the need for the 'embarrassing' meme? OK so you made an alternative PoV. Fair enough but you are likely as wrong as you allege the commentator was given no one but Ukrainian (and British) intelligence know the truth. Just share a view mate stop being an arrogant arse.

@t-and-p I cannot discuss anything with someone who persist in this 'embarrassing' nonsense. No one is embarrassing or needs to be embarrassed as you just have a different PoV to which you are entitled just as she is entitled to her PoV. To call her PoV 'embarrassing' when you are no better than her (except in your own mind) is arrogant.
