Fighter pilots

Early 1990s. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Black Sea Fleet stands on the brink of being divided between Russia and Ukraine. Senior Lieutenant Sergey Denisov is assigned to the elite carrier‑based aviation unit of the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov — a military pilot who dreams only of flying, not of choosing sides. But an order from Kyiv to place the ship under a new flag forces a difficult decision: part of the crew is ready to comply, while others choose to leave under Russian jurisdiction. The aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov faces the threat of being lost — either dismantled for scrap or used against the country’s interests.
