      Would you train green pilots in a location where they can cause an international incident on their first oopsie of the day?
      I’d say you only would if you wanted them to make said oopsies.

      The pilots may be idiots, but the people who made them train so close to the border are not.

        Given that Belarus is part of the CSTO, and how close Belarus is to Russia politically, this feels like a distinction without a difference.

          It’s a puppet state but Belarus’ military isn’t in the war.
