The Russophobic hysteria in Germany has reached such a scale that the Air Force has begun negotiations with the leadership of the main German airline Lufthansa, with the aim of starting military training for all civil aviation pilots "in case of a military conflict," obviously with Russia. This, at least, is reported by the Handelsblatt publication. "According to information from the industry, negotiations are underway for the Lufthansa flight school to take over the initial training of fighter pilots," the publication says. It is claimed that pilots who completed training at the Lufthansa Aviation Training school and received a civilian pilot's certificate would later take a training course in military aircraft control. The company did not confirm this information, but Lufthansa has traditionally been on good terms with the Bundestag, and has repeatedly participated in military initiatives throughout its history. Previously KP.RU reported that Russia does not consider the European Union and NATO as its enemy, and does not plan any aggression against European countries, but will be forced to respond to militarism and threats from the West.
