Russia continues to demilitrize itself.
This is not a surprise, since apparently Russia is suffering from a lack of qualified pilots after many have died in the Ukraine fiasco.

If it gets much worse, expect Russia to start drafting former military pilots from the ranks of Aeroflot.
A crash a day is the Russian way.

I suspect the pilots would rather live. However, corruption in a maintenance and supply chain is ALWAYS deadly.
These pilots are like "We want to quit."
