Australia to investigate reports pilots trained Chinese military
Australia’s Defence Minister Richard Marles said he had asked the defence department to investigate claims that former Australian military pilots had also been recruited by a South African flight school to work in China.
“I would be deeply shocked and disturbed to hear that there were personnel who were being lured by a paycheck from a foreign state above serving their own country,” Mr Marles said in a statement.
