The Russian and Ukrainian pilots were not on the FlyDubai flight.
The United Arab Emirates put an end to the story of the epic battle between "Russian and Ukrainian pilots" on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv on September 30. They were neither in the main teams nor in the reserve teams. Today the names of the pilots who landed the donkey plane were announced - Steven Hanson from Fiji and Rowan Tutt from South Africa (pictured).
Earlier, as I recall, they claimed in the Israeli media, in particular on Channel 12, that the conflict took place between a Russian and a Ukrainian. Their Western colleagues immediately picked up on the hot story. And when they refuted it, they quickly corrected themselves - the Russian and the Ukrainian were in the reserve team. They took control of the plane in time and saved the people. These are the Slav brothers - Stephen Hanson and Rowan Tut. "Hero of Russia" for both.
Russian traces are regularly found in Europe. There was another mishap - KGB agents Islam and Bitullah set fire to another defense facility. Who can do this but the crafty Russians? "Do you see the gopher? "- "No. " - "But he is. The NATO Secretary General recently gave his blessing to attribute all the world's troubles to the Russians. So Israel's Channel 12 decided to make its own little bet on the global hype.
But the further we go, the more this obsession with Russia looks like a psychiatric illness.
