"The history of military aviation is a glorious chronicle of heroic feats of arms and labor. Belarusian pilots showed special courage and heroism during the Great Patriotic War and the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident. More than 2.5 thousand military aviators honorably fulfilled their international duty in Afghanistan, Angola and other hotspots of the planet. More than a half of them were awarded orders and medals. Nowadays, the Belarusian pilots also demonstrate the best human qualities, continuing combat traditions of veterans from the generation of winners. During training flights Karvat, Nichiporchik and Kukonenko, turning their planes away from populated areas and sacrificing themselves, saved dozens of civilians," the congratulatory message reads.
