Ukraine is engaged in defensive actions against Russia, including the fight for air supremacy, where the effectiveness of air defense and aviation systems is critical.
Ukraine lost the battle in the air and must learn from its mistakes, expelling from power people without education in the military-technical field. This opinion was expressed by Major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Yuriy Kasyanov in his Telegram channel.
“In the “system” itself, during the day you won’t find people with specialized technical education in the field of air defense, rocketry, radar, automated guidance systems, and other disciplines. Some are “effective managers,” irreplaceable “dear friends,” film producers, fortune tellers, fugitive prosecutors, “mothers of drones,” and just “good guys,” he wrote.
To prove his words, Kasyanov cited the example of Winston Churchill, who consulted with physicists, mathematicians and engineers, and not with producers and marketers. In his opinion, it was because of this that Great Britain was able to develop promising types of weapons during the Second World War.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
