Problem is does any Ukrainian know how to drive it?

They're not suppose to be THAT complicated. We used to go watch the A-10's practice at Camp Shelby, MS. They shoot almost perfectly flat for 2 miles. First you hear the sonic boom overhead, then the bullets cutting through the armor, then the gunfire, and THEN (if you were not the target), you hear the jet engines.
(Edit) The 'Bullets' are 30mm (1.18" diameter) and filled with depleted uranium for weight. 50 to 70 rounds per second. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Republic_A-10_Thunderbolt_II

I had a wonderful ob/gyn. Male. Don’t discount just because of someone gender

It's not that. I'm just not comfy with a man other than my husband seeing me naked. My last appointment with a ob GYN they tried to bring in a student and I had a fit because they brought her in while I was naked.

People should know that they should be asked for permission and they CAN refuse to be seen by a student doctor or nurse. You can also specify that the attending preform the surgery as opposed to him looking over the student's shoulder. (In that case the "student" IS a doctor, just in training.)
I am usually glad to have a student, 'We all have to learn'. But it is Your choice.

I remember learning to draw blood. We stuck each other first..I had the hard veins.

YEAAH. We were forbidden to start IV's on each other also.

I probably would have been ok with it...had they ASKED while I had my clothes ON. I understand that they have to learn. So why not start with bedside manners?

Oh and also my experience with male doctors has not been great. They make jokes. To me my health isn't freaking funny. I understand the dark humor BEHIND my back...but the humor in front of me...no thank you. Again it's about bedside manners and comfort. I had a male doctor once that helped stitch my finger up after I nearly cut it off. He said "oh it's not too bad"...not to bad?! This is the worst thing that has happened to ME today. I realize you do hundreds of stitches a day but this is ONE for me. And it's not freaking funny. If I'm in pain I ain't laughing. I take my health seriously and I expect a medical professional to do the same. Everyone's different but that is my preference. I just feel like female doctors are more attentive to my emotions and I also don't want a male doctor looking at my lady parts. This is based on my experience being treated by both.

No, they made us do each other first. This was in the 70 s , no gloves either.

Your right. (Let me get that out there first. And it doesn't change!)
A lot of us try to lighten up the situation hoping to put the patient at ease. It doesn't work for everyone obviously. I try to assess that before I try but even then there are some fails.
I apologise on behalf of us jerks.
