AesclepiusCrow Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone, I attempted to Google a Russian military pilot training pipeline, but seem only to be able to find one for US and UK branches of service. Those I have found for fast jet drivers seem pretty clear - turboprop -> fast jet trainer -> combat airframe. Would it be accurate to assume then for the Russian military it is effectively: 1. Light aircraft familiarization similar to the Texan II for USAF pilots followed by: 2. L-39 Albatross for combat tactics, weapons training, etc. then: 3. Final airframe such as Mig-29, Su-25T, etc? I ask because I like to put in hours on the trainers in order to get a better understanding of the mindset of the pilot, as well as unlearn any bad habits before changing combat airframes. If anyone has any info, I'd be appreciative. Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Edited June 16, 2016 by AesclepiusCrow

WindyTX Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Why not just use the western scheme that has plenty info available. The problem is if you want to do a realistic training program you need to do it with someone else. As in Multiplayer. Formation and then all Low level training ACT etc requires someone else. There are some squadrons around that do training you may want to try them.

AesclepiusCrow Posted June 18, 2016 Author Posted June 18, 2016 I don't have a ton of time to spare for multiplayer, but I may well try that. I do follow the US pipeline, but I had hoped to enjoy whatever aircraft the Russians fly as a warm-up for the Migs and Sukhois. The reason I needed the Russian pipeline is the US/UK trainer (Hawk) currently has some crippling bugs in it -- such as the fuel consumption bug, making it relatively difficult to do anything with it at the moment.

Bidartarra Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Why not follow the US pipeline using russian aircrafts?
WindyTX Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Seconded. Most virtual squadrons are using the L39 for training. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk I7 3930 4.2GHz ( Hyperthreading Off), GTX1080, 16 GB ddr3 Hotas Warthog Saiteck Combat Pedals HTC Vive, Oculus CV1. GTX 1080 Has its uses
AesclepiusCrow Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 Sounds good. Thanks gents. I picked up the L39 and I'll be using that to acclimatize to Russian birds until they seal the leaky Hawk gas tanks. Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk
