Not sure that’s Russian policy if they’re low on pilots.

Yeah that would be the policy for a normal country but considering Russia they will put him in aircraft until he stops breathing.

Good point. They probably don't care if their pilots get permanently paralyzed from one too many ejections, considering their complete indifference to their front line soldiers becoming part of the Meat Cube™.

You can still fly but you're not allowed to eject anymore
