Russia's TASS news agency quoted Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu as saying that the training will be held at the Krasnodar Aviation School.

The profession of piloting fighter jets has traditionally been reserved for men, but women have shown that they are not inferior.

“There are many women who want to become fighter pilots. We have received hundreds of letters expressing their wishes and have come to this decision. This year we will enroll the first group of female pilots at the Krasnodar Aviation School,” the Russian Defense Minister told the media on August 12.

“The number of girls will not be large at first – about 15 people. From October 1 this year, the girls will start their studies,” Minister Shoigu further informed.

Minister Shoigu expressed hope that in five years the girls will glorify the Russian Aerospace Forces with their talents.

In 2009, Krasnodar Aviation School began recruiting female cadets, but this was the first time they were pilots of fighter jets.

Nearly two years ago, a site called Truthcdm reported that the Russian Air Force had Captain Balislava, a Russian pilot who participated in bombings against the Islamic State (IS) terrorists in Syria. The attractive beauty of this female fighter pilot once made netizens feel like they were possessed.

It turned out later, the French newspaper Le Monde investigated and found that the beautiful female pilot Balislava was actually a professional model and Brazilian TV presenter named Ana Lucia Hickmann Corrêa.

The picture of her in a flight suit next to a fighter jet was taken in 2005 when she was invited to be the image ambassador of an air force school in Brazil!
