Sviridov stepped down as commander at the age of 54, after a series of harsh public comments about the Russian armed forces. In an interview, he warned that a pilot must have around 100 flying hours per year to be fully combat ready. “However, this is not yet the case. The average flight time in the military is currently 25-30 hours.’ A retired pilot criticized Vladimir Putin for running a “third-rate” air force, warning that top officers were leaving the armed forces because of poor pay and conditions. He also said the military was forced to appoint under-trained officers “because there are no better ones”. For this reason, we send third-ranked pilots to military academies,” said Sviridov.
He told Putin to “create normal living conditions for young officers, as well as for all soldiers, so that they can properly perform their official duties.”
