The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has stated that there are no plans to transfer the highly scarce specialists of the engineering and aviation service who maintain the Air Force aircraft to infantry units.
“Instead, the Air Force is increasing the number of technical and flight personnel,” the General Staff emphasized.
At the same time, certain categories of military, after training in training centers, may be sent to strengthen the Land or Air Assault Forces due to the difficult situation at the front and the shortage of infantry.
“The decision to reinforce the ground brigades on the front line with servicemen from other branches of the Armed Forces is a forced step by the military leadership to strengthen our defense,” the General Staff added.
They also noted that the Commander-in-Chief has banned the transfer of high-tech specialists and those who have been trained abroad on foreign models of weapons and military equipment.
Earlier, it was reported that the Armed Forces Command had begun a large-scale transfer of aviation personnel and anti-aircraft system maintenance to infantry units.
