The General Staff responded to statements by Air Force servicemen about the massive transfer of specialists to the infantry.
It was not and is not planned to transfer to infantry units the acutely shortage of specialists from the aviation engineering service of the Air Force who maintain aircraft. At the same time, the PS is increasing the number of technical and flight personnel. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced this on January 14 in Telegram.
At the same time, it is noted that certain categories of personnel of the air force and other types of armed forces are sent to units of the Ground and Air Assault Forces. However, these soldiers first undergo preliminary training at training centers.
The situation at the front is difficult; in many areas there are not enough infantrymen. The decision to strengthen ground brigades on the front line at the expense of military personnel from units of other branches and branches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is a forced step by the military leadership to strengthen our defense, the General Staff noted.
The command also reported that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, prohibited the transfer from their positions of specialists in high-tech specialties and those who had been trained abroad on foreign models of weapons and military equipment.
Let us remind you that a scandal arose in the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Aviation technicians from the 114th PS Brigade are asking for publicity due to the situation that has arisen with the transfer of personnel to the infantry. Previously, 250 people from the brigade were taken to the front, now another 218 are planned. The military is sounding the alarm because there will be no one to service the aircraft.
