Veteran pilot sheds light on the important role of Russian Aerospace Forces’ navigators

The Air Force Navigation Service Day is observed annually in Russia on March 24, the anniversary of the creation of the first Central Air Navigation Station in the Russian Empire in 1916.

While aircraft systems have become much more sophisticated since the days of World War I and are a considerable boon for pilots and navigators today, the importance of the human factor cannot be ignored, says veteran Russian combat aircraft pilot Maj. Gen. Vladimir Popov.

“A lot depends on navigators’ professionalism and efficiency, their ability to react to various navigational and flight tasks,” says Popov, who points out that only a human operator can find a unique solution to a problem that may arise during an “abnormal situation” that does not fit into algorithms of onboard systems.

IDF general says US accused Israel of ‘systematic’ sexual abuse in private meeting

Israeli Defense Force Brigade General Amir Avivi said on an Israeli radio show that in private, a US State Department official accused Israel of “systematically sexually abusing Palestinian women,” which may have revealed an internal stance of the US State Department that contradicts its public comments.

“It was a meeting that shook me. We sat there, talked about the situation, and suddenly [the US State Department official] accused Israel of systematically sexually abusing Palestinian women,” Avivi said.

“This is absolutely disconnected from reality. But without hesitation, she said ‘The UN presented evidence to the Israeli government.’”

State Department spokesman Matt said the US could only confirm the reports of sexual assault after “a full, independent, credible investigation.”

'No one can control Gaza without Hamas' approval' - expert

Israeli security officials' secret plan to put anti-Hamas Palestinians in charge of aid to Gaza is "not practical and realistic," Ayman Yousef, a professor of political science and international relations at the Arab-American University in Palestine, told Sputnik.

"In real terms, no one can control Gaza or distribute any humanitarian assistance without the approval of Hamas or other resistance group. I think the discussion must go around a kind of maybe unified Palestinian, let's say, umbrella or unified Palestinian groups, those who control the land and those who can distribute," Yousef stressed.

Hamas is highly unlikely to "agree to this idea to find out some local leaders, not affiliated with this Palestinian militant group and some other political factions to manage or to administer over the distribution of a humanitarian aid," the professor added.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) previously reported that Israeli intelligence, along with representatives from Egypt, the UAE and Jordan, are "quietly" working on a plan that would put Palestinians who don't support Hamas in charge of distributing aid in the Gaza Strip. When the conflict ends, this group could become the basis for a new post-war administration in the territory, according to the WSJ.
