A FEMALE Italian fighter pilot who was hazed and kicked out of the air force has now joined the Ukrainian resistance to destroy Vladimir Putin.
Giulia Schiff has been fighting in Kyiv since the war began.
In a strongly-worded Facebook post a day after Mad Vlad‘s forces invaded Ukraine, Schiff wrote: ” There is no justification for not reacting. We need to rescue a country that cannot defend itself when it’s being invaded by one of the world’s powers with ridiculous motives.”
Schiff made headlines in Italy three years ago when footage of her being harassed by colleagues in a sick initiation prank went viral.
The Italian novice sued eight sergeants for slamming her head against the wing of a plane, whipping her on the backside, and throwing her into a swimming pool during a “hazing” ritual.
The 23-year-old was later kicked out of the air force after complaining about the prank.

Military bosses claim she was expelled for “insufficient military aptitude”.
Schiff has been in Kyiv since the start of the war and is filming her mission as part of a mini-documentary, according to Le lene.
Sources close to the show said the fighter pilot “has never given up”.
According to Corriere della Sera, Schiff enlisted as a cadet three months before the “hazing” incident was filmed in April 2018 and came fourth out of nearly 2,000 applicants.
The chilling footage shows the young Venetian being lifted and hit on her backside by colleagues and her head being smashed against a plane wing before she was dumped in a pool.
It comes as foreign fighters flock to the bloody fields of Ukraine to take on Putin’s marauding forces.
One of the first British fighters in Ukraine told of his ferocious battle with Russian troops at the Battle of Antonov.
Ex-Army medic Jason Haigh, 34, exchanged gunfire with the Red Army as it sought to seize an airport and was later beaten by guards in terrifying interrogations.
Jason, who served two tours of Iraq, told The Sun: “The Ukrainians fought like lions and I’m proud I was alongside them. What Putin is doing is terrorism. He’s bombing kids and families for nothing. He’s a war criminal.”
He flew to Ukraine at the start of last month. He recalled: “When I told my mates they were like, ‘What, are you mad?’. I’m a qualified combat medic and have done seven years working as a private military contractor. I wanted to go and do some good.”
He set up home in Kyiv and linked up with foreign fighters ahead of the invasion.
