Short, to the point and absolutely spot on !
Anyone, anyone, who thinks these pilots are there just to teach basic fast jet flying in a country which operates supersonic fighters from a carrier, and aims to have the world’s largest military by 2040 or thereabouts, ( for what purpose, except world military and economic domination) is living in another world.
