\r\n\tZionist reservists pilots will be grounded and stop training in June after the Zionist Regime’s Finance Ministry rejected a request for additional funds to the Defense (war) Ministry's budget, defense sources said on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tEarlier this week, Zionist Army Chief of Staff Benny Gantz said that training for ground forces reservists scheduled for the rest of the year will be cancelled. As a result, reservists who were scheduled for training in the coming weeks and months received letters and phone calls informing them their reserve duty has been cancelled.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe Air Force's unusual step will lead to the cancellation of reserve pilots' weekly flight training session. A senior defense source expressed concern it would be complicated, expensive and would take a long time to make up for the lost training time.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe sources added that in other Western armies reserve pilots train a lot more often than their Israeli counterparts, thus remaining highly competent.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe army preferred postponing the cancellation of reserve pilots training as much as possible, first cancelling training for ground forces reservists.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tZionist regime’s War Minister Moshe Ya'alon plans to hold a cabinet meeting in order to force the Finance Ministry to adhere to laws and government decisions, including transferring NIS 1 billion to supplementary budgets to defense.<\/p>","content_source":null,"content_url":null,"content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2014-05-22 15:46:01","content_date_finish":"2014-05-22 15:46:01","content_date_register":"2014-05-22 15:46:01","content_date_last_edit":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"1","content_show_related_img":"1","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"0","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"1","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"122366","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"4112978070","attach_date_register":"2014-05-22 15:53:38","attach_id":"119481","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"122","attach_img_height":"77","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"144","visit_date_last":"2025-05-09 14:32:56","attach_title":"IAF grounds reserve pilots as part of budget battle","node_title":"news","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53}]"}]]
