What a great man. During the Cold War, Sweden lost 550 pilots...😭(RIP every one of you 🌹❤) because of the warlike training. This number is impossible to process for me. I guess our pilots was more than ready to fight. Thank you all pilots for your service. 👏👍🌹❤
Where did you get this information?, it seems like it's a typical Russian desinformation campaign, I've seen this being mentioned before but the number is rediculously high! Perhaps 55 is probably closer to the real deal with downed planes since the -1950's. I don't think sweden even had 550 aircrafts downed total, even 100 fighter jets seems highly unlikely. During my interest in fighter jets since the 80's sweden only lost a couple pilots and a handfull planes. Please give the source to where sweden lost 550 pilots due to crash or stop spreading desinformation!
The importance of being open about mistakes is why a no blame policy is also now standard in passenger aviation when it comes to things like go arounds and similar scenarios.
