British Army Veteran reacts Swedens Path to Fighter Pilot (stridspilot)

[@Upe-f9c]

Brilliant. All the best to them, we need them.

[@yamahass66]

Sweden got one of the best training in the world. And is also pretty unique how low they are training to fly for example.

[@bjornh4664]

Flying low is something of a specialty in the SwAF. If you google "RAF Jaguar pilot gets an experience", you'll get a story by a RAF pilot flying low and fast with the Swedes. I'm sure that safety regulations have been tightened since then, but back in the day, it was considered a hallmark of a good pilot to return to base with some twigs stuck to the underside of the aircraft.

@@bjornh4664 Love that story about the RAF pilot!

Can you get English subtitles?

[@combatreadyhq]

I can look at this yes

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

The subs are pretty bad, but probably understandable to an extent. Just an example "roligare och roligare" has the subtitle "funnier and funnier" while I'd translate it to "more and more fun"

[@vicolin6126]

Our British friend is already aware. The subs are good to about 90%, but certain expressions are apparently hard for it to translate. I read along with the subs and there is the occasional bump in the road so to speak, but generally fine.

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

@@vicolin6126 I'd say it more than 50% wrong, but given the context it works most of the time
