Bottom line, they're both acting like jackasses. Yuuya's anti-Japanese racism rooted in his own self-loathing is causing him to strut around and posture like an arrogant child in front of Yui rather than showing her the respect due a superior officer or dealing realistically with the problems he's having adjusting to the equipment. And Yui's contempt for Yuuya rooted in her own past war experience and her own pro-Japanese racism is causing her to deliberately treat him with scorn instead of valuing his abilities or cutting him any slack for problems that are not his fault.*

*Not being able to properly pilot a TSF he'd never trained in the style of, and being trapped by the Russians when he was an invited guest of one of their pilots (and frankly, probably didn't even realize he was going into Russian territory).

Basically, someone needs to whack them both upside the head with a tuna.
