In the context of modern geopolitical changes and the increasing role of aviation in ensuring national security, the formation of patriotism among aviation specialists upon arrival at a new duty station is of particular importance.

These processes are accompanied not only by professional, but also by socio-psychological challenges that require strengthening patriotic values to maintain combat capability and morale of personnel.
