Thread: What is FlightControl saying?

Ok, I listened to it again - this is a monologue of some man from the army (one-sided conversation) - he is serving in the army and his friend flew to wherever he is serving at he calls his friend 'lieutenant'

Ok. So this is more a chit-chat (or more a monolog) between mission-control and one crew-member (the lieutenant) via radio-com.
Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

In edition to лейтенант he mostly addresses him as летун – army slang for лётчик.


Тогда мой тебе совет – в вертолёте сидеть не надо. Будем ждать время Ч тут – в Кумбе.

время Ч must be a zero hour
Not quite sure about в Кумбе. Maybe I misheard or Кумбa is a name of the settlement they are stationed in.
