I have been watching Air Crash Investigations on CYTAVISION and by far the greatest cause of air crashes is pilot error and, many of these are where the crew miss the obvious indications on the instruments right in front of them. That has Paphitis sorted.

Most crashes usually involve at least 1 element of pilot error (all in hinsight and after the fact) but all crashes comprise many elements combining in a chain of reaction of events - such as pilot error, weather (microburst, wind shear, icing), and mechanical and technical failures.
It is extremely rare that a crash will occur just due to pilot error. There are always other factors all combining in a chain reaction of events resulting in a disaster or crash. For instance, there may be pilot error involved even after the chain reaction of events is already leading towards disaster such as mishandling or pilot error after a flame out or engine failure whilst on approach with windshear and other things occuring from before the pilot error occured.
Perfect example - Teneriffe Disaster between the KLM and Pan Am 747 - had pilot error as a factor on the part of the KLM Crew. But, the core reasons for the crash, was unfamiliarity of Teneriffe to all aircrew, visibility down to 100m at best, poor Air Traffic managment and procedures, breakdown of radio communications and/or procedures, bad procedural aircraft seperation, less than ideal crew resource managment procedures on KLM, inexperienced First Officer who was too scared to follow the FCOM and overule his intimidating Captain and there are many more factors as well.
You miss the point! Pilots frequently make assumptions they have done everything in the checks when the opposite is true. Most often this is corrected immediately. Sometimes they don’t consider a condition because they miss the symptoms that will show on the instruments. The flight manual they refer to when they have a problem does not always cover the obvious, mainly very non-frequent occurrences. If, like you, a pilot is not good at scanning information and lacks the ability to cross relate indications ….. the situation often deteriorates, with consequences.
You do this with Ukraine! You are all bluster, insults and bullshit and obviously never consider other sources of information. So the true picture gets missed……. and that too has results.
FYI: Bakhmut is around 85% controlled by Wagner/Russian forces. The remaining 15% is under Russian military domination and the AFU are being fed through ‘ the meat grinder’ !
In this sort of engagement 80-90% of deaths and casualties are due to artillery bombardment. For every shell/mortar the the AFU launches the Russians respond ten-fold. The death/casualty ratio is therefore; for every Russian killed/wounded there are ten times that number of deaths/wounded on the Ukraine side.
So ….. reality is very different to your wild claims. Victory is not a cessation of hostilities ….. fighting can go on for weeks, it is a case of who is taking ground. Bakhmut ‘fell’ several days ago, all that happens now is a Russian clear-out of pockets of Ukrainian resistance.
